ZEEL ended the session 1.6% higher at Rs. 253 on BSE. Strong financial performance for the second quarter to September 2013 helped fuel renewed optimism on DB Corp, the largest regional newspaper printing and publishing house.

 Reliance MediaWorks counter added 2% to round up the week at Rs. 44.80, posting its second successive week of gains. Last month, the company completed allotment of shares on a right basis.
