RailTel Share Price: Shares of RailTel Corporation of India jumped 9% to Rs 369 in Friday’s trade on BSE after the firm received a Rs 113.46 crore work order from Odisha Computer Application Centre (OCAC). At this price, it has climbed 19.65 per cent in two trading days.

Before this, the counter was in a correction mode due to heavy selling pressure in the small-cap segment amid investors’ concern over excessive valuations in the broader market. RailTel’s stock has slipped nearly 18 per cent during this week.

“The counter showcased a breakdown from Rs 365 level and is likely to attract further correction in the near period. On the lower end, support is placed around the Rs 300-280 zone. Until it authoritatively surpasses Rs 365, some consolidation is likely to persist,” said Osho Krishan, Senior Research Analyst – Technical & Derivatives at Angel One.
