PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Mumbai, July 22: The Bombay Stock Exchange benchmark Sensex today surged by 136 points to close over the 18,000 points level for the first time in nearly 30 months.
 The Sensex, which had been struggling to cross the 18,000 points level for the past few sessions, spurted by 135.92 points to close at 18,113.15, a level last seen on February 15, 2008. Yesterday, it had gained 99.09 points.
 Marketmen said aggressive buying in fundamentally strong stocks helped the index cross the 18,000-mark as concerns over inflation eased and companies posted strong numbers for the first quarter.
