On the corporate developments front, the company recently announced that ESG Risk Assessments & Insights Limited independently assigned it an ESG rating of '71', placing it in the 'Excellent' category for FY 2025-26. Additionally, the company reported that the Commissioner of Central Goods & Service Tax (Appeals) in Noida reduced a prior GST demand order following an appeal filed by the management. While these updates provide broader operational context, today's price movement appears primarily driven by general market sentiment rather than a single confirmed operational catalyst.
61,839 shares traded by 15 October 2026 · 09:45 AM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 3.11 lakh shares (0.20 times). The five-day average daily volume was 2.27 lakh shares.
