JBM Auto share price: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, May 10, appealed to citizens to limit non-essential gold purchases, reduce international travel, conserve fuel, and increase the use of public transportation amid the ongoing West Asia crisis.
This is likely to put a spotlight on several sectors and stocks in focus.
The broader objective behind the appeal is to reduce pressure on India's foreign exchange reserves and crude oil import bill at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty and elevated global commodity prices.
Here's a look at the sectors and themes that are in focus.
