BENGALURU: Indian blue-chip indexes advanced on Thursday, after fresh US data signalled a cooling economy, adding to optimism over the interest rate outlook, while a fall in oil prices also supported.

Barring pharma, which eased 0.65% after a six-session rally, all the other dozen major sectors logged gains.
