Gujarat State Petronet and Gujarat Gas Shares Rise on Volume Surge and Brokerage Upgrade

Gujarat State Petronet Ltd shares surged over 8 percent for the third consecutive session, with volumes rising significantly above average. Similarly, Gujarat Gas Ltd shares jumped nearly 8 percent after brokerage Nomura upgraded the stock from 'reduce' to 'buy', citing improved demand prospects in the Morbi industrial region amid supply chain disruptions caused by the US-Iran conflict. Nomura highlighted potential volume growth and margin improvements as industrial users shift from propane to natural gas, despite near-term challenges from elevated LNG prices.
