Why did IRCTC shares rise?
An expert said that during the July to September 2021 quarter, the booking of train tickets has almost doubled. Its positive effect will also be seen on IRCTC’s second quarter results as IRCTC has almost a monopoly in online train ticket booking. In such a situation, the share price of IRCTC is expected to increase further. Apart from this, the company is also diversifying into the hospitality segment, which is also fueling the share price rally of IRCTC.
Another expert said, “IRCTC is aggressively focusing on its hospitality business. It is also tying up with hotels, tour and travel service providers and local food suppliers. IRCTC is working on its food chain business in moving trains. Apart from this, IRCTC has also tied up with many airlines recently. In this way, it has assured the market that it will not only serve as an e-ticket booking platform of Indian Railways in future. It is going to be limited. It will emerge as a fully complete hospitality service provider.”
