India's defence sector has shown resilience, making gains amid Donald Trump's tariff war and ongoing India-Pakistan tensions after the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam massacre that saw terrorists killing 26 innocent civilians, Indian defence stocks are witnessing a record rally, with most of the state-run military equipment manufacturers registering a 10% jump in their stock value.
State-run shipbuilder Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE) saw its shares rise by over 12%, adding a notable $2.58 from its previous closing of $21.08 on Monday. On Tuesday, GRSE's stock price breached the $23.49 mark, climbing to an intraday high of $23.66.
On the other hand, the country's naval construction behemoth, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Ltd's (MDL), stock price increased by nearly 9% to $36.47, while Cochin Shipyard Ltd surged 9.88 percent to INR $19.88
