The telecom equipment player Tejas Networks extended its uptrend on Monday, March 27, 2026. Tejas Networks share price rose around 13% on March 2 with robust volume. Volume jumped over 8x to 8.16 crore shares on the NSE, compared to the 30-day average of 94.99 lakh shares. 

Tejas Network's share price has been surging since February 26, following the company's agreement with NEC Corporation to manufacture and supply 5G Massive MIMO Radios. Its 5-day gain stands over 50%.

Solar Industries

Solar Industries, the aerospace and defence player, is the leading gainer among Nifty 500 companies. Its share price rose 4% on March 2 with robust volume. Volume jumped to 2.04 lakh shares on the NSE, compared to the 30-day average of 1.43 lakh shares. Solar Industries appears to be tracking the broader defence sector's momentum amid the Israel-US-Iran war.

Strong Q3FY26 performance also supports the uptrend. Revenue from operations increased by around 29% year-on-year to ₹2,548 crore, while EBITDA was up 37% at ₹733 crore, in comparison to ₹536 crore in the year ago period. Margin expanded by 160 bps to 28.8%. Consolidated net profit increased 38% YoY to ₹467 crore. The order book stands at ₹21,200 crore, providing revenue visibility of about three years, as per FY25 revenue of ₹7,540 crore.

Hindustan Zinc

Hindustan Zinc, the world’s second large Zinc producer and third largest silver producer, is also among the leading gainers. Its share price rose around 2.5% on March 2. Volume jumped to 74.08 lakh shares on the NSE, compared to the 5-day average of 64.49 lakh shares. 

Hindustan Zinc holds a leadership position in the metals and mining space, with operations spanning zinc, lead, and silver. As silver prices rise, the uplift typically feeds straight into the company’s earnings and profitability. The Silver price rose 2.3% to $95.44 per ounce amid the Israel-US-Iran war. 

Conclusion

Strong volumes accompanied sharp moves in Solar and Tejas Networks. Tejas extending gains for a third straight session indicates sustained buying interest, while Solar surged on heightened geopolitical tensions, and Hindustan Zinc is following the rally in silver prices.
