Shares of Elitecon International were locked at the 5% upper circuit limit in Monday’s trade, December 08, at ₹90.20 apiece, in an otherwise weak market, on the back of a strong rise in trading volume, which stood at 3.72 lakh on BSE.

On November 5, the company declared an interim dividend of 5% per equity share (face value Rs. 1 each) for the financial year 2025–26 and fixed November 12, 2025, as the record date for determining eligible shareholders for the said dividend.
