MIDHANI share price today
MIDHANI share price today opened at ₹422 apiece on the BSE; the stock touched an intraday high of ₹428.60 per share and an intraday low of ₹401 per share.
MIDHANI shares have gained 4.44% over the past week and 6.86% in the last two weeks. However, the stock remains under pressure over a slightly longer period, declining 7.80% in one month and 0.88% over three months. On a positive note, the defence PSU stock has advanced 4.28% over the past six months and delivered a year-to-date (YTD) gain of 18.73%.
Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said MIDHANI has witnessed a strong rebound from the ₹365–355 zone, which had acted as a key resistance during January–February 2026. The RSI has started trending higher, indicating a gradual improvement in bullish momentum. The DI lines have also registered a bullish crossover, with DI+ moving above DI− on the ADX indicator, suggesting that buyers are gradually gaining control.
Further, the stock is trading above its key moving averages, reinforcing the positive technical setup. Shah said the ₹365–370 zone is likely to act as immediate support, and the ongoing pullback could extend as long as the stock remains above this range.
Gaurav Arora, Head of Research, SAHI, said Mishra Dhatu Nigam is forming a base and has moved above its 20,50-day EMAs. The stock had been trading within a broad megaphone structure before this move. On the weekly chart, it is also forming a symmetrical triangle, and a breakout is awaited around the ₹455 level. If the volume backs the move and the stock sustains above the key level, it can continue towards the ₹455 to ₹480 zone. A decisive move above ₹455 would confirm the breakout.
