Defence stocks are likely to be in focus on Wednesday after the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK), from where attacks against India have been planned and directed.
Shares of companies such as Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Cochin Shipyard, Bharat Dynamics, Data Patterns, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Paras Defence and others may see heightened investor interest.
The Ministry of Defence announced that India struck nine terror-related targets in Pakistan and PoK using special precision munitions. Key locations included Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Sialkot. The operation involved coordinated efforts from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with assets and troops mobilised for the mission.
