Here are the top five NIFTY500 companies with subtantial gains in the past one year.

Jai Balaji Industries (Stock price: ₹926, Return: 1,087%)

Steel products and TMT bars manufacturer Jai Balaji Industries tops the chart of NIFTY 500 performers with multifold returns of more than 1,087% in the past year. An increase in steel prices, pick up in construction activities and record financial performance in FY24 has fuelled a rally in the shares of Jai Balaji Industries.

The company looks to boost margins by focusing on revenue growth from ductile iron pipes and specialised ferroalloys, implementing cost-cutting strategies, increasing operational efficiencies, and achieving a net debt surplus within the next five quarters.

In the last one year the stock has surged more than 12 times to ₹926.55 apiece. Shares of the company were trading at ₹78 apiece on July 4, 2023.

Cochin Shipyard (Stock price: ₹2,679, Return: 860%)

Leading shipbuilder and maintenance service provider Cochin Shipyard hs returned more than 860% since July 3, 2023. The stock has zoomed from around ₹279 per share a year ago (post stock split) to ₹2,679 apiece on the NSE.

In the past year, the shipbuilder has bagged high-value orders from domestic and foreign customers, which aided the rally in its share price. As of December 31, 2023, Cochin Shipyard has a total order book position of ₹21,400 crore, and around 9,000 crore shipbuilding orders are in the pipeline. FIIs recently raised their stake in Cochin Shipyard, which also boosted the stock price.

The company went for a share split, lowering the face value of equity shares to ₹5 from ₹10 each in January 2024. The stock was trading at ₹279 per share on the NSE on July 3, 2023 (after the stock split). The stock has zoomed to ₹2,679 apiece.

HUDCO (Stock price: ₹325, Return: 462%)

Housing & Urban Development Corporation Ltd (HUDCO) shares have rallied around 460% in the past year amid multibagger returns in PSU shares. The gains in HUDCO shares was supported mainly by the government’s focus on the construction of 3 crore rural and urban houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).

HUDCO also committed an investment of ₹14,500 crore in housing and urban infrastructure sectors in Gujarat.

The housing sector stock was trading at ₹57.8 level on the NSE on July 4, 2023. It has now surged to ₹325 per piece as of July 4, 2024.

IRFC (Stock price: ₹177, Return: 436%)

Driven by higher income, IRFC reported a strong 34% jump in its March quarter net profit to ₹1,717.3 crore compared to the year-ago period.

Anand Rathi Wealth (Stock price: ₹3,899, Return: 348%)

Wealth management firm Anand Rathi Wealth has given returns of 348% in the past year.
