The BSE Sensex and the Nifty 50 opened in the green on Wednesday, supported by a decline in international oil prices.
The BSE Sensex climbed more than 250 points in the afternoon session, accompanied by a 112-point rise in the Nifty50.
Amid this volatility on Dalal Street, one stock that stood out was Tejas Networks. The stock rallied over 14% intraday to Rs 489, compared to its previous close of Rs 425.55 on 5 May 2026.
Here's why the stock is rising.
The share price is rising mainly due to positive developments around Direct-to-Mobile (D2M) technology trials.
Tejas Networks' equipment has cleared multi-ministry-backed lab and field trials for Direct-to-Mobile (D2M) broadcasting, according to a recent report by exchange4media. This development is seen as a key milestone, as it validates both the technical and regulatory feasibility of the technology.
The trials, conducted using Tejas' MarkOne D2M handset on the ATSC 3.0 standard within the 470-582 MHz spectrum band, focused on spectral compliance and coexistence with existing telecom networks. Importantly, the results indicated that D2M signals do not interfere with 2G, 3G, or 5G services, easing concerns from telecom operators.
The field tests also assessed real-world performance in the national capital, confirming stable user experience where traditional voice calls and SMS services remained unaffected. The trials were led by officials from MIB, MeitY, DoT, and Prasar Bharati, adding regulatory weight to the outcome.
Overall, the development has strengthened sentiment around the stock, as D2M is viewed as a potential new-age broadcast technology that could unlock long-term ecosystem opportunities in spectrum efficiency and direct content delivery.
Also, the sharp upside in Tejas Networks can be attributed to the strong sector-wide momentum in the BSE Telecom space.
The sector emerged as the best-performing sector of the day with gains of over 2.5% even as broader benchmark indices were trading in the red around 1 PM.
The rally was broad-based, with key telecom and network infrastructure names such as HFCL, ADC India Communications Limited, and Sterlite Technologies surging as much as 7.75% during the session.
This sectoral strength reflected renewed buying interest in telecom equipment and optical network-linked companies.
Tejas Networks, being no exception, led the momentum within the space and surged in tandem with its peers.
Looking ahead, Tejas Networks appears to be building a steady pipeline of opportunities across both domestic and international markets.
In its Q4 FY26 earnings call on 15 April 2026, the company highlighted that it has already received an initial order for expanding 4G networks from a customer in South Asia, indicating that demand for network upgrades is still active even as telecom operators gradually move toward newer technologies.
Alongside this, Tejas is running multiple field trials for its 4G and 5G RAN products across South Asia and the Americas, showing that its solutions are being tested in a wider set of global markets. It also recently completed a successful 5G proof-of-concept in South America, which adds to its early progress in newer geographies.
On the broader outlook, management pointed to the growing role of artificial intelligence in shaping telecom networks.
The company expects AI to significantly change both the volume and nature of data flowing through networks, as well as the underlying architecture that supports them. By 2033, AI-driven applications could account for more than 60% of total network traffic, and by 2035, over 100 million physical AI-enabled machines may be connected to global networks.
Over the past month, its shares are up over 8%.
The stock touched its 52-week high of Rs 761.9 on 19 May 2025 and its 52-week low of Rs 294.1 on 27 January 2026.
Tejas Networks is a telecommunications equipment company. It designs and manufactures high-performance networking products used by telecom service providers, internet service providers, utilities, defence, and government entities in over 75 countries.
Its portfolio includes wireless technologies (4G/5G based on 3GPP and O-RAN standards), fiber broadband (GPON, XGS-PON), carrier-grade optical transmission (DWDM, OTN), packet switching and routing (Ethernet, PTN, IP/MPLS), satellite communication, and network management solutions.
