The Sensex surged 1,330 points on Thursday after US President Donald Trump claimed India offered a “zero-tariffs” trade deal to Washington. Speaking in Qatar, Trump said India proposed eliminating tariffs on US goods, sparking optimism of a breakthrough in stalled trade talks. The Nifty 50 rose 1.57% to 25,054.80, while the Sensex jumped 1.45% to 82,506.47—its highest level in seven months. New Delhi has yet to confirm the offer. Analysts see Trump’s remarks as signaling progress during a 90-day tariff truce. India’s trade minister is set to meet US officials next week to finalize the bilateral agreement. (PC: PTI)
