Indian Share Market Update — 23 September 2026

Easing crude oil prices are providing some support, although continued FII selling and geopolitical uncertainty remain important factors. 📌 Stock in Focus: Elecon Engineering

Elecon Engineering is among today's strong movers. The stock was around ₹465.45, up 10.68% at 12:04 PM, after opening near ₹420.55 and touching an intraday high of ₹476.90. Trading volume was also exceptionally high—over 100× its recent weekly average by midday. Market takeaway: The combination of strong price movement and unusually high volume makes Elecon Engineering a stock to watch today, particularly for whether the momentum sustains through the session. High volume alone does not guarantee further gains. For information only, not a buy/sell recommendation.
