Reuters - India-based fund managers are growing more confident in the domestic economy and plan to raise allocations to auto makers and private sector lenders, betting that no change to interest rates will underpin an economic recovery, a Reuters poll showed.

That has sparked a rally in the broader NSE index which climbed to a record high last week and is up 7.5 percent this year.for story see below is a full breakdown of poll results.
