ITI Limited’s share price hit a 10% lower circuit today after the NSE and BSE sought clarification regarding a dramatic 40% rally over the past two trading sessions. This sharp correction followed consecutive upper circuits of 20% on each of the previous two days, which had propelled the stock to new highs. The PSU stock opened on a strong note at ₹575.15 on the NSE, compared to its previous close of ₹544.35, and surged to a fresh 52-week high during early trading. However, the sharp gains were short-lived as intense profit booking ensued, pushing the stock to its lower circuit limit of ₹489.95, reflecting a 10% decline. Despite the halt in trading, market activity remained robust, with approximately 2.10 crore shares exchanging hands before the circuit was triggered. The dramatic volatility highlights heightened investor interest in ITI, potentially fueled by speculation and recent developments, while also raising concerns among regulators about the stock’s rapid movement and underlying factors driving the surge.
