Nifty up 11 points in early trade

The National Stock Exchange index Nifty rose 11 points in early trade on Wednesday on gains in SBI, Infosys, Wipro, Cipla and Sun Pharma on sustained foreign capital inflows.

The data for Sensex was not available due to a technical glitch at the Bombay Stock Exchange.
