India-Pakistan Ceasefire: A Turning Point for Defence Stocks

Following the India-Pakistan ceasefire, a dramatic shift has been observed in the defence stocks of both India and China. India's Operation Sindoor, a response to the Pahalgam terror attack, showcased the country's military prowess with indigenous weapons, leading to a surge in its defence stocks.

China's Defence Stocks Face a Downturn

Chinese defence manufacturers, including Avic Chengdu Aircraft Co. and Zhuzhou Hongda Electronics Corp, have seen significant declines in their stock values. This downturn reflects the aftermath of the conflict, where Pakistan's reliance on Chinese military equipment failed to counter India's strategic strikes.

India's Defence Sector on the Rise

Indian defence companies like IdeaForge, GRSE, and Bharat Dynamics have experienced substantial growth, with the Nifty India Defence Index recording a 10% increase. This growth is attributed to the successful demonstration of India's domestic defence technologies during Operation Sindoor.
