Bharat Electronics, Paras Defence and Hindustan Aeronautics were among other defence shares that rose in Monday's session amid a conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

Periods of military conflict tend to accelerate defence preparedness across nations. That often translates into higher demand for missiles, surveillance systems, drones, ammunition and radar technologies. As a result, defence linked stocks tend to see heightened interest. This is sometimes driven by sentiment and sometimes by expectations of future orders.
Shares of Paras Defence and Space Technologies rose more than 12 percent, while BEL was up more than 2 percent.
