The stock was trading at its highest level since October 23, 2020. It hit a record high of Rs 2,369, on September 16, 2020. Despite a run-up of 14 per cent from its low of Rs 1,856 touched on December 21, the stock has underperformed the market and fallen 1 per cent in the past month as against a 23 per cent rally in the S&P BSE Sensex.

It is a momentous day for India’s capital markets as the Sensex touched 50,000 on Jan 21. The gain of last 5,000 points has come in just 32 trading sessions. Expectations of turnaround in the economy post Covid vaccinations and continued FPI inflows have led to this kind of gains for Indian markets in a globally low interest scenario. Post the Forthcoming Union Budget we may witness a temporary brake to the uptrend and further upmoves from hereon will depend on the pace of economic and corporate earnings growth and the trajectory of inflation and interest rates in India and the world.
