Ajax Engineering Experiences Increased Investor Participation Amidst Mixed Performance Metrics

Ajax Engineering, a mid-cap player in the Engineering - Industrial Equipment sector, has shown notable activity on March 5, 2025.

Despite this, Ajax Engineering is just 4.73% away from its 52-week high of Rs 628.75.
Today, the stock underperformed its sector by 2.07%, while the broader market, represented by the Sensex, returned 0.68%.
