Summary of Trading Action
Tejas Networks Ltd’s trading session on 28 Jan 2026 was marked by strong intraday gains and elevated volatility. The stock’s 8.42% rise and intraday high of ₹323.55 came after a sustained period of decline, signalling a short-term reversal in momentum. However, the stock remains below key technical levels and continues to lag behind broader market indices over multiple time frames.
While the Telecom - Equipment & Accessories sector and the broader IT - Hardware segment posted moderate gains, Tejas Networks Ltd’s outperformance was a standout feature of the day’s market activity. The Sensex’s positive close and mega-cap leadership provided a supportive backdrop for the stock’s rebound.
Investors and market participants will note the stock’s current technical positioning and recent rating downgrade, which frame today’s surge within a broader context of caution. The elevated intraday volatility also suggests that trading activity remains dynamic, with price swings likely to continue in the near term.
