Mukesh Ambani-backed Alok Industries witnessed a sharp decline of 11.51% on Friday, hitting a fresh 52-week low of ₹9.16 per share at the close. The textile stock has remained under pressure over the past five trading sessions, losing more than 21% during the period.
Alok Industries share price opened at ₹20.22 and closed at ₹9.24 on NSE on 28 August.
Why Alok Industries share price is falling?
While the exact trigger behind the sharp decline remains unclear, the stock has been on a sustained losing streak during the final week of August. Alok Industries breached its 52-week low in successive trading sessions before witnessing a steeper fall on Friday.
The decline also appears to be stock-specific rather than part of a broader market sell-off, as the Sensex and Nifty remained only marginally lower over the same period.
In an exchange filing, Alok Industries informed the exchanges about significant increase in the volume of the company’s security in the recent past.
The company clarified saying, “There is no information which has not been announced to the stock exchanges and which should have been announced by the Company in terms of the Listing Regulations.”
