* Aviation and travel stocks drop up to 8% due to West Asia unrest.
* SpiceJet and IndiGo extended flight cancellations to West Asia.
* Railway stocks dropped on concerns over travel disruptions.

Shares of aviation, travel and railway-linked companies fell by up to 8 percent on Monday amid flight disruptions following the escalating conflict involving Iran.

The decline comes after several domestic carriers extended cancellations of flights to and from West Asia due to airspace restrictions in the region after military action by the US and Israel against Iran.

On the BSE, shares of <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/transportlogistics/spicejet/SJ01">SpiceJet</a> dropped over 8 percent to Rs 14.72 per share. The stock opened 4.79 percent lower and extended losses during the session, snapping a three-day gaining streak. The airline cancelled all inbound and outbound flights to West Asia till Tuesday.

"Passengers are advised to check their flight status before proceeding to the airport," the company said in an advisory posted on social media platform X.

"In view of the prevailing situation, the temporary suspension of select international flights that use Middle East airspace has been extended until March 2, 2026, 2359 hrs IST," the airline said in a post on X. The carrier said it is offering waivers for travel to and from West Asia and other affected international sectors for bookings made on or before last Saturday.

Tourism stocks also declined as shares of Ixigo fell more than 5 percent to Rs 161.59 apiece on the NSE. India Tourism Development Corp fell 5 percent to Rs 499.80 per share. Easy Trip Planners stock was down 8 percent to Rs 7.94 per share on the NSE.

Shares of Indian Railways Finance Corporation (IRFC) are down 5 percent. The decline was also due to a tepid response to this Offer For Sale (OFS).

* Defence stocks like Paras Defence rose up to 13 percent on Monday.
* Tensions in West Asia boost demand for defence equipment.
* Sensex and Nifty fell sharply despite gains in defence shares.

Defence-related shares, including Bharat Electronics and Paras Defence and Space Technologies, rose by up to 12 percent on Monday amid escalating tensions involving Iran, Israel and the United States.

Shares of <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/india/stockpricequote/defence/parasdefencespacetechnologies/PDS01">Paras Defence and Space Technologies</a> advanced more than 13 percent to Rs 722.5 per shaer on the NSE during the session.

The latest conflict has led to higher focus on defence preparedness across countries. This can result in increased demand for equipment such as missiles, surveillance systems, drones, ammunition and radar technologies. As a result, defence-linked stocks often witness buying interest on expectations of higher orders and improved business prospects.

Commenting on the market trend, Dr V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said the uncertainty related to the conflict in West Asia will weigh on markets in the near term.

"Weakness in the market can be used to slowly accumulate high quality stocks in domestic consumption themes like banking, automobiles, capital goods and defence," he said.

The rise in defence shares comes even as the benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty crashed in early trade, tracking a sharp spike in crude oil prices amid escalating tensions in the West Asia.

The Sensex tanked 2,743.46 points or 3.37 percent to 78,543.73 in early trade. The Nifty tumbled 533.55 points or 2.11 percent to 24,645.10.
