Indian Stocks Surge on GST Council Reforms, Despite Rupee Dip
Indian stock markets are doing well, going up more than 1%.
This happened because the government changed taxes (GST) to help people and the economy.
The rupee, the Indian money, lost a little value.
This is happening because of international currency trading.
These changes are expected to make the economy grow faster.
Indian stock market indices, Sensex and Nifty, rose over 1% in early trade.
The GST Council announced a two-tier rate structure.
These changes are expected to soften the impact of US tariffs on Indian goods.
The rupee fell slightly against the US dollar.
GST reforms are expected to boost consumption and GDP growth.
