The equity market in India rose today (15th April 2020), 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. Today the government permitted 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.
