On the corporate front, the company recently announced that the Orissa High Court disposed of writ petitions on October 16, 2026, setting aside significant mineral dispatch shortfall demand notices of ₹6,96.32 crore and ₹14,72.69 crore related to its Jajang Iron Ore Block. Additionally, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) approved the scheme of amalgamation for Piombino Steel Limited on October 16, 2026. While these developments provide broader fundamental context, today's marginal price dip reflects general sectoral pressures rather than a direct negative catalyst.
13.33 lakh shares traded by 22 October 2026 · 03:30 PM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 17.42 lakh shares (0.77 times). The five-day average daily volume was 23.36 lakh shares. Separately, the NSE report for 22 October 2026 showed 6.53 lakh shares delivered, representing 48.95% of that day’s traded volume. The same report recorded 51,939 trades.
The stock drifted lower by 0.24% in line with broader weakness across metal equities, though trading volumes remained below average at 0.77x of the 20-day benchmark. Positive developments regarding the quashing of mining penalty demands and the NCLT merger approval provide constructive medium-term context but did not prevent minor profit-taking.
