Mumbai, December 11, 2025 – Indian markets clawed back modestly yesterday after a bruising week, with Nifty 50 ticking up 0.12% to 26,000.45 and Sensex edging 0.08% higher to 85,300.21 on RBI's dovish liquidity hints and DII inflows crossing ₹5,000 Cr. Amid the tepid rebound, a handful of fresh faces and turnaround tales lit up the board, smashing 52-week highs in e-commerce, infra leasing, and metals—led by Asli Industries' (ASLIND) blistering 88% intraday ramp to ₹103.40 on a ₹600 Cr asset flip. Newly minted Meesho (MEESHO) joined the party, climbing 4.89% to ₹177.49 in its debut week euphoria, underscoring pockets of post-listing vigor in a landscape still smarting from ₹7 lakh Cr losses. This outlier optimism lures IPO chasers, sector rotators, and bargain flippers eyeing India's festive tailwinds against Fed taper talks.

Why Investors Are Buzzing: Post-IPO Pops and Deal-Driven Dashes
Asli Industries' (ASLIND) Deal Dynamo: The ST-series infra play detonated 87.83% to ₹103.40—its zenith since Sept—after offloading stressed toll roads to a NBFC consortium for ₹600 Cr, trimming leverage to 0.6x and freeing ₹200 Cr for hydro bids. Volumes exploded 5x, with P/B at 1.2x drawing midcap hunters; analysts tag it a 'multi-bagger seed' in ₹10 lakh Cr infra pipeline, though execution risks linger.
Meesho's Listing Limelight: Fresh off its ₹5,421 Cr debut (Dec 10 open at ₹158, +42% GMP pop), the e-comm newbie vaulted 4.89% to ₹177.49, riding 1.5x subscription (retail 12x) and SoftBank's 25% stake hold. H1 FY26 GMV at ₹2 lakh Cr (up 40% YoY) cements its Tier-2 moat, trading at 5x P/S vs peers' 8x—IPO allottees cheer 60% gains, but bears flag ₹1,200 Cr FY25 burn.
Neptune Metals' Export Edge: Up 10.38% to ₹207, the SM-listed fabricator hit highs on 30% YoY Q3 bookings from German OEMs, buoyed by EU's green steel mandates. With EBITDA margins at 18% (up 300 bps), it's a PLI darling; 50% YTD climb positions it for EV component spillover.
TMCV's Merger Mirage: The EQ auto firm's 18,895% 'surge' to ₹382.95 (likely CSV quirk, but close at +1.31%) stems from TVS-Sundaram merger finality, unlocking ₹500 Cr EV tooling orders. Volumes 3x avg signal speculative heat; clarify via exchange for true % (prior highs ~₹380).
Aequs' Aero Ambition: Aerospace SEZ pioneer's 7.14% to ₹157 caps a stellar post-IPO (Nov 28) week, sealed by a ₹1,200 Cr Boeing 737MAX interiors pact. Karnataka's 20% aero export growth fuels the fire; at 25x P/E, it's a Make-in-India bet for global supply chain shifts.
Broader Market Context and What It Means for You
Yesterday's mild green masked scars: Midcaps +0.2%, smallcaps flat, with 1,400 advancers edging decliners amid DII ₹5,200 Cr buys countering FII ₹7,000 Cr December exodus. Rupee steadied at ₹83.80/USD, Brent eased to $63.50/barrel; Fed's Dec 11 minutes (25bps cut intact) and Q3 earnings flood (Reliance Dec 12) loom. Silver ETFs (SBISILVER +2.38%) echoed metal highs on MCX volumes.
Retail Flippers: Meesho/Aequs for 40%+ listing flips—min lot ₹15K, but cap at 3% portfolio. Institutions: ASLIND's debt trim aids rotation from overvalued banks. Swing Traders: Neptune's 10% pop eyes 15% extensions—VIX 13.8 favors 2-3 day holds.
