ITC Ltd. closed at 316.20 rupees on Wednesday with a trading volume of 2.1 million, outperforming the BSE SENSEX Index’s 0.79% gain.
Despite the surge, ITC remains 28.81% below its 52-week high of 444.15 rupees reached last May. Competitors saw mixed results, with Golden Tobacco falling and Godfrey Phillips India rising sharply.
The broader market’s positive momentum contributed to ITC’s gains, while trading activity in ITC significantly exceeded its 50-day average volume, signaling heightened investor interest.
