In short

Sensex and Nifty opened higher in early trade, with Sensex up more than 370 points to 73,154 and Nifty up 103 points to 22,725. The report says this happened even as Korea’s Kospi fell over 7% and Japan’s Nikkei dropped 4%.

This matters because Indian stocks were stronger than overseas markets at the open. The report does not say what sectors led the move or whether the gains lasted.
