Jewellery stocks are rising as a surge in demand and strong market sentiment have pushed these stocks to outperform expectations. According to experts, the surge in jewellery demand in India is driven by increasing disposable incomes, a growing preference for regular wear jewellery beyond traditional wedding pieces, investment pieces, diversified product offerings (like new designs and diamonds), greater trust through hallmarking, and enhanced shopping experience at organised retail stores. The recent Union Budget cuts in customs duties on gold and silver also sparked a rally in gold stocks.

Stocks hitting the lower circuit on Monday (September 30, 2024)

Ravindra Energy Ltd

Shares of Ravindra Energy were locked at the 5% lower upper circuit for the past several trading cycles. In fact, on September 26, the company opened at a fresh 52-week high of ₹166.95. However, it soon began to move in the opposite direction and after that, it started locking in lower circuits. Today the stock is locked in a 5% lower circuit at ₹139.04.

Over the past three months, the stock surged by almost 150%. After rising in triple digits in such a short time, investors would have opted to take profit off the table, which could have led the stock to hit a lower circuit limit for the day.

Incorporated in 1980, Ravindra Energy is in the business of selling Solar Pumps, setting up Solar Generation Power Plant (Ground Mount & Rooftop) & generation and sale of Power. The company has a market capitalisation of ₹2,150 crore.
