Only Buyers: These railway stocks experienced a strong rally ahead of the Union Budget!

Shares soared more than 108 per cent in just one month after hitting back-to-back upper circuits!

The Indian headline indices started the session down, mainly due to significant losses in information technology and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) stocks. BSE Telecommunications and BSE Commodities, on the other side, were the top performing sectors, each gaining more than 2 per cent.

Shares soared more than 108 per cent in just one month after hitting back-to-back upper circuits, while shareholders enjoyed multibagger returns of over 268 per cent in the past six months!
