MARKET LIVE: Sensex up 700 pts as govt eases lockdown rules from April 20

Indian markets rose on Wednesday, lifted mainly by pharma and FMCG stocks, following positive cues from global indices. That apart, government’s move to ease lockdown rules starting April 20 also boosted sentiment.

On Wednesday, the government permited industries to operate in rural areas, manufacturing to start in Special Economic Zones (workers will have to stay within their premises or in “adjacent buildings”), though the transportation will have to be arranged by employers. Food processing in rural areas will also begin from April 20. Restrictions have also been eased for the construction sector. READ ABOUT IT HERE
