As many as 25 companies, including Reliance Industrial Infrastructure, Ruias led-Essar Oil and ABG Shipyard, soared over 50 per cent in the last seven trading days on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
As per an analysis of the top 25 gainers in the market rally from March 30 to April 9, the top two firms -- Reliance Industrial Infra (RIIL) and Webel SL Energy have surged over 100 per cent increasing their promoter wealth by as much as Rs 367.52 crore and Rs 17.91 crore, respectively.
However, most of the gainers have relatively smaller capitalisations compared to the blue-chip stocks.
Mukesh Ambani Group firm RIIL, which gained a whopping 189 per cent in the last seven trading sessions, helped its promoter Reliance Industries gain Rs 367.52 crore. RIL held 45.43 per cent stake in the company for the quarter ended December, 2008.
The RIIL scrip surged to Rs 819.50 on April 9, gaining over three times from Rs 283.75 on March 30 on the BSE.
RIIL rose sharply on speculations of company's merger with its promoter and rumours that RIIL might help RIL transport natural gas after Reliance Industries began the gas production from its KG-D6 block.
Among the 25 gainers, Webel SL Energy, HDIL, Essar Oil, ABG Shipyard and Jindal South West Holdings helped their promoters to gain considerably.

Real estate company Housing Development & Infrastructure surged 51.72 per cent during the reviewed period making its promoters richer by Rs 686.99 crore at the end of Thursday's trade last week. For the quarter ended March, 2009 the promoter group held 61.50 per cent stake in the company.
