Firm cues from Asian markets and European markets opening higher supported the Indian markets.
A good start in the June series derivative contracts was also responsible for the gains.
Some of the leading stocks that gained on Friday were HDFC, Reliance Industries, Adani Ports, Bajaj Auto, Infosys, ICICI Bank, Tata Motors and HUL while ONGC, Axis Bank, ITC, BHEL and NTPC declined.
The market ended the week on a strong note with the benchmarks recording the biggest weekly gains in nearly three months.
