The wide-based Nifty rose by 19 points, to trade at 6,101 points in its opening session, a level not seen since January, 2011 . The 50-share index was also fluctuating in afternoon deals and was trading 2 points up to 6,084 a short while ago. Brokers said, steady inflow of capital inflows by foreign funds driven by the government's decision to de-regulate diesel prices in a key economic reform measure, and better-than-estimated third quarter earnings by some blue-chip companies, helped Nifty cross the 6,100-level.
