Indian equity markets are expected to open in green on Thursday following government's farm push, however, negative global cues are likely to keep the sentiment in check today.

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a sharp hike in minimum support prices (MSP) of kharif crops for the 2018-19 season in a bid to contain the farm sector distress. The country announces support prices for more than a dozen crops each year to set a benchmark. But analysts say the median hike this year was 25 per cent compared with 3-4 per cent in the last three years, which could hit government finances and stoke inflation.
