Shriram Finance saw the highest buying interest and saw an inflow of Rs 870 crore.

Over the years, Polycab India has made substantial investments in building robust capabilities for expanding its product portfolio and geographical reach and Project LEAP has helped strengthen its market share

On Tuesday, shares of the company surged by more than 3 per cent and traded on its new 52-week high of Rs 3,694.30.

The agreement between Redington and Polycab holds huge significance as Redington will enable Polycab to engage with its large chain of Value – Added Distributors (VAD’s) and drive business through them across different tiers of cities in the country.

Recording gains in PSU and select private banks, financial services, and select heavyweight stocks, the benchmark indices closed higher rising towards the end of Tuesday's trading session. Sensex was up 246.47 points or 0.45 per cent at 54,767.62 level whereas Nifty gained 62 points or 0.38 per cent at 16,340.50 level. 

The stock also witnessed a triangular consolidation pattern of 27 trading sessions and has been trading above its 20-DMA.

Given the improvement in consumer sentiment on account of the severity of the third wave of the pandemic now on the wane, Polycab India expects all its business channels to post impressive growth in the coming years, as shared by Chief Financial Officer Gandharv Tongia in this exclusive interview. 

The ongoing selling by FIIs and weak Indian rupee led the domestic market to continue surrendering its gains, with all major sectors trading under pressure.
