29 December 2025: New 52-Week High and Volume Surge
NMDC Ltd began the week by reaching a new 52-week high of Rs.84.08 on 29 December 2025, marking a significant milestone in its price trajectory. Despite closing slightly lower at Rs.80.84 (-2.17%) that day, the stock exhibited strong technical positioning, trading above all key moving averages. The day was characterised by exceptional trading volume of nearly 1.95 crore shares, reflecting heightened investor interest amid a mixed price movement.
The surge in open interest by 22.3% in the derivatives segment further highlighted active market positioning, although the stock underperformed the broader market indices on the day. Delivery volumes declined by 18.89%, suggesting that much of the trading activity was driven by short-term traders or institutional repositioning rather than long-term accumulation.
30 December 2025: Strong Market Outperformance with Elevated Delivery Volumes
On 30 December, NMDC Ltd rebounded strongly, gaining 3.18% to close at Rs.83.41, outperforming both the Minerals & Mining sector and the Sensex, which declined marginally. The stock’s volume remained elevated at 1.64 crore shares, with delivery volumes surging by 71.66%, signalling robust accumulation by investors ahead of the year-end.
This price appreciation was supported by the stock trading above all major moving averages and closing just 1.81% below its 52-week high. The company’s mojo score of 77.0 and upgraded mojo grade to Buy contributed to positive market sentiment, reinforcing the stock’s technical and fundamental strength.

The stock remained well supported above all key moving averages, signalling sustained bullish momentum. Trading volume remained robust at over 75 lakh shares, placing NMDC among the most actively traded stocks of the day.
The company’s fundamentals remain strong, with a return on equity of 21.6% and a dividend yield near 4%, supporting investor confidence. Institutional holdings increased by 0.74% over the previous quarter, reflecting growing endorsement from large investors. Despite a slight dip in delivery volumes, the overall trading activity suggested consolidation rather than distribution.
2 January 2026: Fresh 52-Week High and Upgraded Mojo Rating Fuel Momentum
On the first trading day of 2026, NMDC Ltd reached a new 52-week high of Rs.84.72, closing at Rs.84.50 (+1.09%). The stock outperformed the Sensex, which gained 0.81%, and the Minerals & Mining sector, reflecting strong market positioning. Trading volume remained elevated at 54.6 lakh shares, with a traded value of approximately ₹46.07 crores.
The mojo grade upgrade to Buy from Hold on 1 December 2025 has clearly bolstered investor sentiment, as evidenced by the sustained price strength and technical alignment above all major moving averages. Despite a sharp decline in delivery volumes by 47.58%, the stock’s price resilience and volume surge indicate ongoing accumulation and positive momentum.

Key Takeaways
Positive Signals: NMDC Ltd demonstrated strong technical momentum by hitting multiple 52-week highs during the week, supported by sustained trading above all key moving averages. The mojo score upgrade to Buy and increased institutional holdings underpin the stock’s fundamental strength. Elevated trading volumes, especially on 30 December and 2 January, indicate robust investor interest and accumulation phases. The attractive dividend yield near 4% adds an income component that complements capital appreciation potential.
Cautionary Notes: Despite high volumes, delivery volumes showed intermittent declines, particularly on 29 December and 2 January, suggesting some short-term speculative trading or profit-taking. The stock’s mid-cap status and sector sensitivity to commodity price fluctuations warrant vigilance. The flat quarterly results and lower operating cash flow reported recently highlight the need to monitor upcoming financial performance closely.
Conclusion
NMDC Ltd’s performance over the week ending 2 January 2026 reflects a well-supported uptrend driven by strong technical indicators, fundamental upgrades, and active market participation. The stock outperformed the Sensex by 0.91%, hitting fresh 52-week highs and attracting significant volume surges. While short-term volatility and delivery volume fluctuations suggest some caution, the overall market signals favour continued momentum. Investors should watch for sustained volume support and the stock’s ability to maintain levels above key moving averages as indicators of ongoing strength in the minerals and mining sector.
