Following India’s recent military operation, Operation Sindoor, targeting terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, the Indian stock market has exhibited remarkable stability. Economic experts attribute this buoyancy to robust domestic consumption, proactive government initiatives, and anticipations of a prosperous monsoon season, contributing to a positive economic outlook for India.
