BHEL Share Price Target

"BHEL is showing strong momentum, with the stock trending upwards and forming higher highs. It recently broke past resistance near ₹245, turning it into support. The next resistance is seen around ₹260, and a breakout above that may lead to ₹275. On the downside, ₹240-₹245 remains a key demand zone. The trend remains bullish, and any dips toward ₹245-₹248 could be used for entry with a stop-loss below ₹240," commented Riyank Arora, technical analyst at Mehta Equities Ltd.
