Arunaya Organics has experienced a rocky start in the stock market, debuting on the NSE SME with a significant drop amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan. The company’s shares opened at ₹30.10, reflecting a staggering decline of 48.10% from its issue price of ₹58. This disappointing performance comes on the heels of an initial public offering (IPO) that ran from April 29 to May 2, captivating investors despite its weak debut.
