In a surprising twist during a sluggish trading session, Vishal Fabrics, a small-cap textile stock priced under ₹50, saw its shares rise on Thursday. This uptick occurred even as the broader Indian markets, including the Sensex, were down by approximately 0.2-0.3%. The recent news surrounding Vishal Fabrics has sparked interest among investors, suggesting a potential turnaround for the company.
