During the day, it jumped 1,057.69 points or 1.79 per cent to 59,967.04.
The NSE Nifty advanced 272.45 points or 1.57 per cent to settle at 17,594.35.
From the Sensex pack, State Bank of India, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Industries, ITC, Tata Steel, IndusInd Bank, HDFC Bank, Tata Motors, HDFC and Titan were the major gainers.
Tech Mahindra, UltraTech Cement, Nestle and Asian Paints were the laggards.

Equity markets in Europe were trading in the positive territory. The US markets had ended higher on Thursday.
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) bought shares worth Rs 12,770.81 crore on Thursday, according to exchange data.
"The market had more reasons to cheer today than to worry about concerns regarding inflation. PSU banks led the sectoral rally as reports of foreign investments in Adani stocks helped the sector in recouping the dampened sentiments. The sentiment was further lightened as FIIs turned in strong buyers," said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Financial Services.
The embattled Adani Group has sold minority stakes in four of its listed companies to US-based GQG Partners for Rs 15,446 crore as the apple-to-airport conglomerate, recovering from a sell-off triggered by a short-seller report, looks to shore up liquidity ahead of the USD 2 billion debt repayment due in the coming months.
International oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.07 per cent to $84.69 per barrel.
