Amtek India has surged nearly 20% to Rs 101, also its 52-week high, on back of heavy volumes on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

The stock opened at Rs 84.65 and has seen over four-fold jump in trading volumes. At 1205 hours, a combined 14.65 million representing around 5.3% of total equity of the company changed hands on the counter.
