NEW DELHI: Government’s Rs 25,000 crore plan to revive the sluggish real estate sector cheered the traders on Thursday as domestic equity markets opened with gains. In a huge relief for affected homebuyers, the government cleared a Rs 25,000 crore alternative investment fund (AIF) in which the government will contribute Rs 10,000 crore.

The special window will also get investments from institutions like LIC and SBI, which will take the corpus to Rs 25,000 crore. BSE benchmark Sensex jumped over 200 points to scale a fresh record high of 40,676.

Meanwhile, the 50-share Nifty opened above the 12,000 mark.
