Even as benchmark indices clocked modest gains over the past six months, select mid- and small-cap counters have delivered stellar returns, drawing increased interest from foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). While the Nifty rose 5 per cent and the Sensex added 4 per cent during the period, the broader BSE 500 index advanced 7 per cent. Advertisement

Leading the pack is BGR Energy Systems Ltd, a capital equipment manufacturer for the power and petrochemical sectors. The counter turned into a multibagger, soaring 298 per cent in just six months—from Rs 101.88 to Rs 406 on the BSE. FPIs raised their holding from a negligible 0.01 per cent in the June quarter to 0.10 per cent in the September quarter. The stock ended 0.83 per cent higher at Rs 406 on Friday.
