The Sensex dropped 1,682 points or 2.1% to its intra-day low of 75,868.32, while the Nifty declined 495 points or 2% to its intra-day low of 23,555.60. Despite the overall weakness in the market, one stock stood out - AGI Infra.

AGI Infra Share Price Jumps

AGI Infra's share price jumped over 2% to its intra-day high of ₹371.10 on the BSE, despite the overall market weakness. The gains came on the back of the company announcing that it had secured regulatory approval from the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) for its upcoming group housing project, marking its formal entry into the New Chandigarh real estate market.

Project Details

The project, titled 'Utopia by AGI', marks the company's maiden project in New Chandigarh. The license from GMADA for the development of its group housing colony was received by the company on April 1, 2026. The project will be developed on a land parcel measuring 10.26 acres in a premium residential area of New Chandigarh. It will offer a saleable area of approximately 31,93,697 square feet and will comprise 661 residential flats across multiple configurations, including 3BHK, 4BHK, and 5BHK units, along with thoughtfully planned amenities and conveniences for residents.
