Despite opening with a gain of 17.7%, the stock reached an intraday high of Rs. 24.8 before falling to its day's low. The high volatility today, with an intraday fluctuation of 18.77%, reflects the stock's unstable performance.

The company's financial health is concerning, characterized by high debt levels and weak long-term growth metrics.
