Mumbai:

Shares of hospital chain Park Medi World Ltd surged over 8 per cent on Friday, July 31, 2026, as the stock market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty, traded higher amid foreign fund inflows and a decline in crude oil prices. While the 30-share BSE Sensex gained 49.91 points to 77,970.95. Nifty added 28 points to 24,343.65. However, profit-taking in IT stocks confined the rally.

Amid a spurt in volume by 2.42 times, the stock touched an intraday high of Rs 301.95, representing a gain of 8.19 per cent. This is just 3.21 per cent away from the 52-week high of Rs 305.25, touched on July 1, 2026. The 52-week low of the counter is 138.15, hit on December 18, 2025.ย
