VST Industries Shares Surged 8% After the Company Posted A Q2 Profit Rise of 24.5% YoY to ₹59.2 Crore

Mumbai, October 30, 2025 : VST Industries Limited (NSE: VSTIND, BSE: 509966) saw its share price increase by 8.08% during Thursday morning trade. This surge came immediately after the cigarette manufacturer announced a net profit of ₹155 Crore, up 24.5% YoY, for the second quarter of FY26.

The increase in the share price indicates that investors are confident about the company’s financial performance. Its stock was still among the top 10 gainers of the day, reflecting positive investor sentiment, given the business’s strong Q2 performance, despite a revenue dip.

VST Industries Limited started back in 1930 and went public in September 2003. It’s now one of India’s top tobacco manufacturers. The company primarily sells cigarettes and other tobacco products, including well-known brands such as Charminar and Gold.
