New Delhi [India], March 18: Elitecon International Ltd’s shares locked in a 5% upper circuit at ₹55.83 on Wednesday, propelled by broader market gains as Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty advanced around 0.5% each for the third straight session. The rally followed positive cues from global peers and declining crude oil prices amid the ongoing US-Iran tensions, with investors eyeing the US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

Despite the intraday surge, Elitecon’s stock remains down 87% from its 52-week high of ₹422.65 hit on August 25, 2025, and above its 52-week low of ₹27.66 in March 2025. The small-cap stock has declined 26% over the past month, 54% in three months, and 68% in six months, though it has delivered impressive long-term gains of 102% in one year and a remarkable 5220% over five years.

Fueling investor interest, Elitecon recently appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP as strategic tax and regulatory advisor for a proposed merger consolidating Sunbridge Agro Private Limited, Landsmill Agro Private Limited, and Golden Cryo Private Limited into the company, pending approvals. This move aims to unify business verticals, boost operational scale, enhance efficiencies, strengthen the balance sheet, and improve long-term earnings visibility and market competitiveness. “Elitecon International Limited has taken a significant strategic step towards strengthening its long-term growth trajectory, operational scale, and shareholder value creation,” the company stated in its BSE filing. Alongside the merger, Elitecon outlined capex expansion plans to drive diversification and sustainable growth.

Adding to the developments, Mauritius-based Minerva Ventures acquired an 8.58% stake through 13.7 crore shares via warrants and open market purchases, increasing total voting share capital to 1,598,500,000 shares. Separately, the company’s Nashik manufacturing facility passed a Food and Drug Administration inspection on January 8, 2026, in compliance with Maharashtra government directives under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
