Cement Stocks Buck Trend In A Weak Market; Stocks Surge Up To 14%

Cement stocks amid weakness in the market fuelled by global factors have been bucking the trend. This is primarily on account of seasonally strong quarter for these companies.

Also, the hike in cement bags to the tune of Rs. 5- Rs. 15 per bag in eastern, North and Central India is fuelling the surge in share prices of these stocks.
