The stock touched an intraday high of Rs.1,958.90, marking a 5% rise, before settling near the upper band.

The stock outperformed the Sensex, which declined 2.19% to 34,899.09. Technical indicators upgraded the stock’s trend from mildly bullish to bullish, supported by daily moving averages and a positive monthly MACD.
