MUMBAI: Indian stock markets opened on a positive note today despite ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan that continue to worry investors.

At the time of filing this report, the Nifty 50 index was up by 95 points or 0.41 per cent at 24,134, while the Sensex also gained 406.96 points or 0.51 per cent to trade at 79,619.49.

The situation at the India-Pakistan border remains the key concern for the market participants. However, foreign portfolio investor (FPI) inflows continue to support Indian equities. Last week's selling by high net-worth individuals (HNIs) kept the markets under some pressure, but overall sentiment appears to be improving with the new week start.
