The Rs 23,000 crore market cap company recently announced strong quarterly earnings which triggered fresh buying interest in the stock.

Robust Quarterly Performance

In Q3FY23, the company reported a 47% YoY jump in revenue to Rs 917 crore while net profit grew 43% YoY to Rs 100.49 crore from Rs 70.01 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year.
