Indian indices ended higher for the fourth day in a row on Wednesday with Sensex reclaiming the 61,000 level, and Nifty settling above 18,200 mark.

While, the industrial growth fell to a nine-month low of 1.4 per cent in November as festive demand fizzled out, while retail inflation accelerated to a six-month high of 5.59 per cent in December, possibly presenting a policy dilemma for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
