Mumbai/IBNS: A day after PM Narendra Modi announced the mega 20 lakh crore economic package to tackle the COVID-19 crisis, the market commenced on a positive note on Wednesday as Sensex moved up by 814 points to stand at 32185.90.

Nifty on the other hand surged ahead by 228.55 points to stand at 9425.10.

The market showed an upward trend a day after PM Narendra Modi addressed the nation on lockdown issue.

During the address, Modi pitched for his favourite "Make In India" campaign to build a self-reliant India while announcing a mega 20 lakh crore economic package, the second since the Covid-19 outbreak, besides almost notifying an extension of the ongoing lockdown- Lockdown 4.0-  but with "different colours" hinting that the stringencies might be reduced.

Modi said the package targetted for all sections of the society will focus on land, labour, liquidity and law.

"The package will be for all farmers as well as middle class people who pay income tax with honesty," said the PM though the details of the package will be disclosed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in coming days.
