Titagarh Rail Systems Surges 13% as Subsidiary Secures Key Regulatory Nod
Shares of Titagarh Rail Systems (TRS) saw a significant surge on Tuesday, with the stock price increasing by over 13% as its subsidiary, Titagarh Naval Systems Limited (TNSL), secured an in-principle approval from the Directorate General of Shipping under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways for a brownfield expansion project at Falta in West Bengal.
