Additionally, the company announced a Global Premier Partnership with Anthropic on October 12, 2026, to scale governed Agentic AI across global enterprises. While these corporate updates provide ongoing operational context, market participants are weighing these developments alongside recent quarterly financial performance.
30.39 lakh shares traded by 13 October 2026 · 09:35 AM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 27.71 lakh shares (1.10 times).
