An ACE Equities screen cited by The Economic Times listed eight Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) 500 stocks with returns above 100% since Diwali 2025, while the Nifty 50 ended below its prior Muhurat close.
Aditya Infotech topped the names at 191.39%, with HFCL at 186.53% and Welspun Corp at 180.22%, the report said. Laurus Labs was listed at 153.83%, Ather Energy at 132.19% and Acutaas Chemicals at 110.79%. Welspun Living and Aether Industries completed the group at 107.23% and 104.89%, respectively.
The same Economic Times report said 190 companies in the BSE 500 posted positive returns over the period, with eight passing the 100% mark. It described the interval as beginning at Diwali 2025 but gave no specific end date or return calculation method. The report also did not say whether dividends or corporate actions were included.
The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) recorded the Nifty 50 at 25,030.35 at the close on Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. Moneycontrol reported that the index finished at 25,868.60 during Muhurat Trading on Oct. 21, 2025. Comparing those two closes yields a 3.24% decline.
The NSE’s 2025 holiday circular scheduled a special Muhurat Trading session for Diwali Laxmi Pujan on Oct. 21. The index comparison uses that session’s close as its earlier point and the Nov. 6 close as the later point.
The stock screen’s cutoff date was not given, so its endpoint cannot be matched to the Nifty comparison. The Economic Times report did not identify what drove the individual stocks’ performance.
