Operation Sindoor completed one year on May 07, when India launched retaliatory operations at the terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) after heart-mourning Pahalgam attacks, killing nine innocent civilians. India's strong action boosted select defence stocks, with one stock zooming nearly 5 times in the last one year.
We are talking about MTAR Technologies, which is a defence and aerospace counter, engaged in the manufacturing of mission-critical precision components. The stock has risen 5 times or 400 per cent from its 52-week low at Rs 1,358 on May 7, 2025 to rise to Rs 6,787 on May 4, 2026. The stock was seen trading at Rs 6,559, up 383 per cent from its 52-week lows.
Shares of MTAR Technologies Ltd have gained nearly 180 per cent 2026 so far, while the stock has gained 175 per cent in the last six months period. It has posted a strong 70 per cent rally in the last one month, while it has doubled investors wealth in the just three months.
Market players believe that operations in niche sectors like defence, space and energy are driving the growth. MTAR Technologies has been rallying higher on the back of strong partnership exposure to Bloom Energy, rising global AI data-center power demand, robust order book growth in nuclear and defence businesses and strong revenue and earnings growth outlook over FY26–FY28.
