The BSE Capital Goods index has faced notable headwinds, with a significant drop of 2.5% today and a decline of 2.16% over the past week.

Elgi Equipments has managed to achieve a positive return of 3.03%, positioning itself as the best performer within the BSE CG index. This performance is particularly noteworthy given the overall market conditions, suggesting that Elgi Equipments may be navigating the current landscape more effectively than its peers.
