Rail Fare Hike Fuels RVNL, IRFC Surge; Copper Prices Lift Hindustan Copper

• RVNL and IRFC shares jumped significantly following the Ministry of Railways' second passenger train fare hike this year, projected to add ₹600 crore in revenue by 2025-26.
• Hindustan Copper surged as international copper prices reached new peaks on global exchanges like Shanghai and COMEX.
• KNR Constructions gained after signing agreements to sell its 100% shareholding in four Special Purpose Vehicles to Indus Infra Trust.
• MMTC Ltd also saw a sharp rise, though no specific reason for its surge was immediately apparent.
• Stocks like Jaro Institute, Anand Rathi, and ArisInfra Solutions declined as their lock-in periods ended, releasing a large number of shares into the market.

Why It Matters: Rail fare hikes and rising copper prices drove gains, while lock-in expiry led to declines for some stocks.
