Sensex and Nifty surged more than 2.7 per cent on Monday in the morning trade after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire following four days of conflict.

At around 10.11 am, Sensex was trading 2,185 points or 2.75 per cent up at 81,640.01 while the Nifty climbed 672.80 point or 2.80 per cent at 24,680.80.

According to analysts, India's markets and economy have demonstrated remarkable resilience, consistently transcending external perturbations and geo-political uncertainties.

This strength comes from a steady, domestically-oriented economy, which helps protect against global troubles, showing that every crisis eventually ends.

“A thawing of the relationship between India and Pakistan is likely to trigger a massive rebound for benchmark Nifty in early Monday trades, That said, any fresh violations of the ceasefire deal from Pakistan could keep bullish sentiments fragile,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.

The domestic indices surged on Monday with Sensex jumping over 1,900 points in the morning trade, as India-Pakistan tensions eased with ‘Operation Sindoor’ marking a significant demonstration of India’s military and strategic prowess.

Buying was seen in the PSU bank, IT and auto sectors in the early trade.

At around 9.34 am, Sensex was trading 1,943 points or 2.45 per cent up at 81,398.42 while the Nifty climbed 598.8 point or 2.49 per cent at 24,606.85.

Nifty Bank was up 1,395.95 points or 2.60 per cent at 54,991.20. The Nifty Midcap 100 index was trading at 54,679.55 after rising 1,456.20 points or 2.74 per cent. Nifty Smallcap 100 index was at 16,584.60 after climbing 498.95 points or 3.10 per cent.

US President Donald Trump on Saturday announced a "full and immediate ceasefire" between India and Pakistan.

He shared no details of the negotiations or the ceasefire.

Secretary of State Rubio said in a State Department statement that he and Vice-President J D Vance conducted these talks.

“After a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire," President Trump wrote on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns.

“Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" he added.

In a major strategic move, India will now treat any future act of terrorism on its soil as an Act of War -- a clear warning to adversaries, particularly Pakistan, in the wake of the recent terror attack in Pahalgam and the unfolding Operation Sindoor.

This landmark decision, taken at the highest levels of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, signals a new threshold in India’s national security doctrine, top government sources told.

The reclassification of terror from a "proxy threat" to an "act of war" reflects both the changing nature of conflict and the government’s resolve to adopt a zero-tolerance policy. It comes at a time when Pakistan’s involvement in cross-border terrorism is once again under international scrutiny.

In a security move prompted by escalating tensions with Pakistan, Indian Railways has decided to halt night-time train operations in the border areas of Jammu and Punjab.

The decision affects regions close to the International Border and the Line of Control (LoC), including Amritsar, Bathinda, Firozpur, and Jammu.

According to official sources, trains that were earlier scheduled to pass through these areas at night will now be rescheduled to operate during daylight hours.

Additionally, certain short-distance trains operating in these sensitive zones will be cancelled until further notice.

This precautionary measure comes in the wake of increased military activity along the border.

Besides blunting Pakistan’s drone attacks overnight, India has carried out precision attacks on six Pakistan Air Force bases in Rafiqui, Sukkur, Murid, Chunia, Chaklala, and Rahim Yar Khan, said an official on Saturday.

Pakistan's military installations, like a radar site at Pasrur and the Sialkot aviation base, were also targeted, the official said.

Defence experts said Chaklala air base in Rawalpindi is considered one of Pakistan’s most sensitive as it is located just 10 km from Islamabad. The base handles both VIP and PAF operations.

The strike on Chaklala, in a way, is a warning served by India that even the most fortified of PAF assets are within its range. The strike is also a warning against launching transport missions and aerial refuelling from the base that was used extensively in the 1965 and 1971 wars.

The Indian equity markets ended the month of April on a strong note, with the Nifty Midcap index emerging as the top performer, registering a gain of 3.94 per cent, followed by a 1.69 per cent rise in the Nifty Smallcap index, a new report said on Saturday.

This reflects continued investor interest in mid- and small-cap stocks amid broader market optimism, according to data compiled by Motilal Oswal Asset Management Company.

The benchmark Nifty also delivered a solid performance, rising by 3.46 per cent for the month, while the Nifty Next 50 gained 2.32 per cent.

The Nifty 500 index climbed 3.24 per cent, supported by consistent gains in financial services, consumer discretionary, and energy sectors.

Indian stock markets closed the week sharply lower as rising geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan spooked investors and triggered a wave of selling across sectors.

The Nifty fell by 1.39 per cent to close at 24,008, while the Sensex slipped 1.30 per cent to end at 79,454.47.

Sector-wise, realty, banking, pharma, and financial services stocks suffered the most, with declines ranging between 2 per cent and 6 per cent.

On the other hand, auto and media stocks showed some resilience and helped cushion the fall. Broader markets were also impacted, with mid- and small-cap indices losing between 0.90 per cent and 2.17 per cent.

ਕੇਂਦਰ ਨੇ ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ 'ਆਪ੍ਰੇਸ਼ਨ ਸਿੰਦੂਰ' 'ਤੇ ਇੱਕ ਵਿਸ਼ੇਸ਼ ਬ੍ਰੀਫਿੰਗ ਵਿੱਚ, ਭਾਰਤ ਦੇ ਫੌਜੀ ਅਤੇ ਨਾਗਰਿਕ ਕੇਂਦਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਵਾਰ-ਵਾਰ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣਾ ਕੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਨੂੰ ਵਧਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ ਦੀ ਬੇਸ਼ਰਮੀ ਭਰੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਨੂੰ ਨਕਾਰਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਅਫਵਾਹਾਂ ਫੈਲਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਰਾਜ-ਪ੍ਰਯੋਜਿਤ ਪ੍ਰਚਾਰ ਮਸ਼ੀਨਰੀ ਦੀ ਵੀ ਨਿੰਦਾ ਕੀਤੀ। ਬ੍ਰੀਫਿੰਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਭਰੋਸਾ ਦਿਵਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਕਿ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਨਾਪਾਕ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁਚੇਤ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਫੌਜ ਨੇ ਨਾਕਾਮ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਹੈ।

ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ ਸਕੱਤਰ ਵਿਕਰਮ ਮਿਸਰੀ ਦੀ ਅਗਵਾਈ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰੈਸ ਬ੍ਰੀਫਿੰਗ ਵਿੱਚ, ਫੌਜ ਦੇ ਕਰਨਲ ਸੋਫੀਆ ਕੁਰੈਸ਼ੀ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਫੌਜੀ ਥਾਵਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਡਰੋਨ, ਲੰਬੀ ਦੂਰੀ ਦੇ ਹਥਿਆਰਾਂ, ਗੋਲਾ-ਬਾਰੂਦ ਅਤੇ ਲੜਾਕੂ ਜਹਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੀਆਂ ਪੱਛਮੀ ਸਰਹੱਦਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਹਮਲੇ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

ਇੱਕ ਖਾਸ ਤਣਾਅ ਵੱਲ ਇਸ਼ਾਰਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ, ਉਸਨੇ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਕਿ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਰਾਤ 1.40 ਵਜੇ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਹਵਾਈ ਅੱਡੇ ਨੂੰ ਨਿਸ਼ਾਨਾ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਤੇਜ਼ ਰਫ਼ਤਾਰ ਮਿਜ਼ਾਈਲ ਦਾਗੀ ਗਈ, ਜੋ ਕਿ ਅੰਤਰਰਾਸ਼ਟਰੀ ਨਿਯਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਪੱਸ਼ਟ ਉਲੰਘਣਾ ਹੈ।
