The share price of Virat Industries was locked in the 10% upper circuit

Virat Industries has been making headlines recently as its share price was locked in the 10% upper circuit for the sixth consecutive day, reaching ₹299.10 in intraday trade on Friday. This surge comes amid heavy trading volumes following investor Bhavook Tripathi's open offer to acquire up to 3.7 million shares, representing a 25.45% stake from public shareholders, at an offer price of ₹158 per share. The open offer has driven significant investor interest, highlighting how strategic investments can impact stock movements.

Bhavook Tripathi's stake and fundraising plan

In the past six trading sessions, Virat Industries' stock has skyrocketed by 130%, driven by the announcement of a fundraising plan. The company's board approved the allotment of 9.6 million equity shares to Bhavook Tripathi on a preferential basis at a price of ₹104 per share, bringing the total investment to ₹99.84 crore. 

This allotment will result in Bhavook Tripathi holding a 66.1% stake in Virat Industries. The substantial investment and his ability to appoint key management figures make this a noteworthy example of why investors choose to invest in stocks with high growth potential.

Market activity and export prospects

Virat Industries, a microcap company involved in manufacturing premium-quality socks for export, has seen a nearly 10-fold increase in trading volume. The company's products cater to reputed brands and high-end markets, particularly in Europe. 

The potential implementation of a Free Trade Agreement between India and other countries could further boost exports by reducing import duties, creating more reasons for investors to invest in stocks of companies like Virat Industries, which stand to benefit from global trade opportunities.
