Tata Motors is only Nifty50 stock to double this year
Tata Motors's stock price jumped 6.5% to Rs. 802.90 on the final session of the year, becoming the only Nifty50 stock to double in 2023. The stock closed year 2022 at Rs. 387.9 apiece, and now it's closing 2023 at Rs. 779.95, that's a 101% return. This growth is credited to a robust outlook for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a gradual transition to electric vehicles (EVs), and a surge in demand for SUVs due to people's increased disposable incomes.
