Sources within the dealing rooms tell CNBC-TV18 that the stock has been on an upward trend due to strong delivery volumes on the FII desk.

The stock was in the news on Thursday after its consortium with Power Mech Projects won an order worth Rs 500 crore.

A Volatile Week

Benchmark indices ended 1 percent lower for the week despite Friday's up move. Financials led the market on Friday with the Nifty Bank ending with gains of over 2 percent. The NSE Nifty 50 index close near the 17,200 mark.

Dealers believe that the gains in financials was due to a bout of short covering. Another sector that saw short covering on Friday were the technology names. Flows have been mixed on the FII desk.

Earnings season, which began this week will gather more steam from the next one and that will continue to dominate the near-term market movement.

Dealers suggest that the Nifty closing above the mark of 17,400 will trigger further short covering in the market.
