IRCTC share price: Shares of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) rose by almost 1% in morning trade on the BSE on Tuesday, December 23, in an otherwise weak market, amid Indian Railways' decision to increase passenger train fares across all classes from 26 December. IRCTC share price opened at ₹686.55 against its previous close of ₹681.55 and inched up to the level of ₹686.85. The railway stock, however, pared most of its gains and traded 0.20% higher at ₹682.80 at 11 am, after dropping to the level of ₹681.10. Equity benchmark Sensex was 17 points down at 85,550 at that time.

IRCTC shares hit their 52-week low of ₹655.70 on March 3, and on Tuesday, December 23, they dropped to an intraday low of ₹681.10, just about 4% above their one-year low level. The stock has been in the green for the last three consecutive sessions, but on a monthly scale, it is still down by over half a per cent for December after a 4.5% fall in November. Year-to-date, the stock is down almost 14% compared to a 9% rise in the Sensex.

IRCTC shares hit their 52-week high of ₹838.35 on February 1 this year.
