Indian Aviation, Oil, and Paint Stocks Rise Amid Sharp Decline in Crude Oil Prices

Shares of aviation, oil marketing, and paint companies in India rose sharply on May 6 following a 10.5% drop in Brent crude oil prices to USD 98 per barrel. InterGlobe Aviation surged nearly 7%, while Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum gained over 5%. The government announced an Rs 18,100 crore Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme to support airlines and MSMEs affected by the West Asia conflict. Analysts attributed the rally to improved input costs and optimism over a potential US-Iran peace deal.
