The index increased by 1,101.78 points, or 0.81%, to 137,481.74 by 10:20 a.m.
Refineries, cement, fertilizers, oil and gas exploration, OMCs, power generation, and car assemblers were among the major industries with strong purchasing activity. ARL, HUBCO, PSO, SNGPL, MARI, OGDC, POL, UBL, and NBP were among the index-heavy stocks that were all trading in positive territory.
