Teja Engineering Industries shares doubled the value of IPO allottees' investments on their first day of trading on the National Stock Exchange of India's SME platform.

The stock opened at ₹418, representing a 90% premium over the issue price, signaling strong initial demand from retail and institutional investors alike.

The sharp repricing underscores the ongoing momentum in India's small-cap segment, where recent listings have seen significant first-day gains.

Teja Engineering's performance mirrors the broader trend of robust market reception for new issues on the NSE SME exchange, as seen with other recent debuts like Shreedhar Spinners, which also hit the upper limit of its price band.

Investors in the SME segment are increasingly drawn to companies with clear growth trajectories and undervalued entry points.

Teja Engineering's listing success suggests that market sentiment remains favorable for small-cap engineering firms, despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties.
