Railway stocks saw a strong upward movement on Monday, even as the broader market remained flat. While the BSE Sensex traded slightly in the red, many railway-related companies recorded notable intra-day gains, driven largely by positive news such as fresh work orders and rising investor interest.
Ircon International, known for its railway infrastructure projects, was the top gainer among railway stocks. Its stock jumped by 6.12% on the BSE, with nearly 21 lakh shares changing hands. Ircon operates in the same sector as major players like Larsen & Toubro and has been gaining traction for its role in developing railway projects.
Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) also saw a solid gain of 3.09%, trading around ₹350 per share. Over 18 lakh shares were traded on Monday. The rise in RVNL stock is linked to the company securing a new order from the Western Central Railway for a traction substation project.
RailTel Corporation of India surged by 6.63% during intra-day trading, with over 17 lakh shares traded. The spike came after RailTel announced that it had received a Letter of Acceptance from the Bihar Education Project Council. This project, worth ₹209 crore, has boosted investor confidence. The company has been actively announcing new orders, further supporting its stock performance.
Several other railway-related companies also traded higher. These include:
These stocks drew investor interest as the overall sector sentiment remained positive.
Not all railway stocks joined the upward ride. BEML Ltd, which manufactures metro coaches and defence equipment, traded slightly in the red. RITES Ltd, a consulting and project management firm, also did not see much excitement from investors.
