TOKYO -- The Indian equity market is about to end 2020 at a record high, bouncing sharply from a trough in March, even as the pandemic continues to ravage the country.
India's benchmark BSE Sensex index of 30 stocks hit at one point an all-time high of 46,992.57 on Thursday, up over 83% from the bottom of 25,638.9 recorded on March 24, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the world's biggest lockdown.
