Polycab India shares are trading down 2.11% at ₹8,231.00, touching an intraday low matching the current price after opening at ₹8,390.00. Trading volume remains subdued at 54,518 shares, standing well below its 5-day and 20-day averages, indicating lighter participation during today’s session.

The broader market benchmark Nifty also faced downward pressure, declining by 1.3%. Polycab’s retreat aligns with the broader weak market sentiment, while short-term momentum shows ongoing consolidation following a 1.52% pullback over the last five sessions and a deeper correction of 12.74% across the past month.
