The Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) witnessed a significant surge in its share price, reaching a new lifetime high of ₹226.45 per share on the NSE. This upward trend follows the post-budget rally on Friday, marking a remarkable increase of over 30 percent in the last two consecutive sessions.

The surge in HUDCO’s share price can be attributed to the Budget 2024 announcement of the construction of 2 crore new affordable houses. Market experts highlight that HUDCO, being a government-backed financial company with a strong presence in affordable housing finance, is reaping the benefits of this budgetary proposal. Despite operating on smaller profit margins, the company is viewed favorably by long-term investors.
