The Sensex rose over 2,500 points, with aviation, oil marketing, paint, and tyre stocks benefiting from lower crude prices. IndiGo gained 10%, HPCL over 8%, and paint companies like Asian Paints rose nearly 5%. The decline in crude prices, now below $100 per barrel, is expected to reduce inflation risks and improve profitability for oil-dependent sectors, reversing previous pressures from rising oil prices." datetime: "2026-04-08T04:04:33.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281971165.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281971165.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/281971165.md) --- # IndiGo, HPCL, tyre and paint stocks rally up to 10% as crude prices crash; oil-sensitive shares surge Shares of crude oil-sensitive companies rallied sharply on Wednesday, rising up to 10 percent, as a steep fall in global oil prices following the US-Iran ceasefire boosted sentiment across aviation, oil marketing, paint and tyre stocks. The rally comes alongside a broader market surge, with the Sensex jumping over 2,500 points and the Nifty rising more than 3 percent in early trade, as easing geopolitical tensions triggered a global risk-on move. Among the top gainers, InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) surged 10 percent, emerging as the biggest beneficiary of falling crude prices, given that aviation turbine fuel is a key cost component for airlines. State-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) also saw strong buying. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) rose over 8 percent, while Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) gained nearly 6 percent and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) advanced around 7.5 percent, as lower crude prices improve marketing margins. Paint companies rallied on expectations of easing input cost pressures. Asian Paints rose nearly 5 percent, while Berger Paints and Kansai Nerolac gained between 2.5-5 percent, reflecting improved margin outlook. Tyre stocks also moved higher, tracking the same trend. Apollo Tyres gained over 5 percent, while JK Tyre rose more than 6 percent and CEAT advanced over 4 percent, as crude-linked raw material costs are expected to decline. - _**Share Markets Live Updates | Sensex, Nifty Today**_ The sharp upmove in these stocks follows a more than 12-14 percent drop in crude oil prices, with Brent slipping below the $100 per barrel mark after the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran and the expected reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Lower crude prices are seen as a major positive for India, helping reduce inflation risks, ease pressure on the current account deficit, and improve profitability for sectors heavily dependent on oil-linked inputs. Crude-sensitive stocks tend to react sharply to such moves, as falling oil prices directly translate into lower input costs, improved margins and stronger earnings visibility. The rally also reflects a reversal of the pressure these sectors had faced in recent sessions, when crude prices had surged amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. **Disclaimer** **Disclaimer:** _The views and investment tips expressed by investment experts on Moneycontrol.com are their own and not those of the website or its management.
