Mumbai, November 14, 2025: Hilton Metal Forging Ltd saw its shares surge by 10%, hitting the upper circuit at ₹45.60 in early trade on Friday. The sharp rally came on the back of a robust financial performance for Q2 FY26, where the company reported significant growth in revenues and profitability. Strong earnings momentum, coupled with improved operational efficiency, fueled investor confidence and drove heavy buying interest in the stock.

Hilton Metal Forging Ltd, listed since 2007, operates in the castings and forgings sector, supplying critical components to industrial engineering and oil & gas clients. With a face value of ₹10 per share, the company continues to be a prominent player in the Indian manufacturing ecosystem.
