Leading the charge was Dredging Corporation of India (DREDGECORP), whose shares exploded 286.98% intraday to touch a stunning ₹1,055—eclipsing the previous high of ₹1,044.90 from December 8. The surge builds on a government windfall announced in late October: Prime Minister's ₹4,000 crore modernization push for the state-run dredger, aimed at bolstering port efficiency and coastal projects. Closing at ₹1,044 with a 3.73% daily gain, the stock has rocketed over 50% in the past month alone, drawing investor bets on India's expanding maritime ambitions.

Banking heavyweights also joined the rally:
- Federal Bank (FEDERALBNK) climbed 1.24% to ₹263.20, buoyed by steady loan growth in a jittery sector.

Analysts eye these movers as harbingers of selective rotation into undervalued themes, even as global cues like U.S. rate jitters loom. "In a sea of reds, these greens highlight where capital is flowing—infra revival and consumer staples," noted a Mumbai-based trader. With 130 stocks hitting upper circuits against 142 lowers, yesterday's breadth underscores the market's bifurcated tale.
