Bharat Dynamics Soars Over 11 per cent

Bharat Dynamics was the biggest gainer, with its share price jumping 11.16 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The company, which makes missiles and other defence equipment, has gained investor interest due to its role in India’s defence preparedness.
