    Lockdown, Day 55: Trance after tranche

    Dalal Street wasn't particularly impressed with Nirmala Sitharaman's economic package in five tranches. The Sensex plunged 1,069 points, taking with it Rs 3.6 lakh crore in investor wealth. Analysts punched holes in the stimulus, calling it illusory and bad for the bourses.

    Add to that, Goldman Sachs, in a report, warned of an ugly recession with the GDP contracting by 45% in the second quarter. India, let's brace ourselves.

    Here are the other update from the day...
