Abstract

Studies have documented the strong effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on different world economies. In this study, we examine the influence of COVID-19 cases in India on the country’s sectoral stock indices. Our results find that COVID-19 has had a negligible influence on the returns of these stocks; however, it causes them to fluctuate significantly. We provide insights for the government and local and international investors.
