From ₹4 to ₹56: This textile stock turns ₹1 lakh into Rs ₹14.37 lakh in 3 months

Despite the recent sell-off in Indian equities, some select stocks from the broader market have managed to deliver a skyrocketing return to investors in 2022. Textile manufacturer Tine Agro is one such penny stock that has given multibagger returns to its shareholders in a difficult market situation.

The company, formerly known as Kansal Fibres, is engaged in the trading, export, and import of agricultural products in India. The Ahmedabad-based firm is currently under short-term additional surveillance measure (ASM) stage-two framework on the BSE due to high volatility.

In the last three months, this penny stock has delivered more than 13 times returns to investors, thanks to improvement in its financial performance. The stock has rallied as much as 1,337% during this period, surging from its 52-week low of ₹3.9 on December 9, 2021, to a fresh high of ₹56.05 today on the BSE. Investment of 1 lakh in this stock three months ago would have turned to Rs ₹14.37 lakh at present.

Given that the stock is under domestic stock exchange surveillance, investors need to be extra cautious and do due diligence while investing in this security.

The lesser-known textile stock has been hitting the upper circuit for the last 21 sessions and has rallied 172% during this period. The stock has been placed under a price band of 5% to prevent excess volatility in the share price.
