10 NSE stocks turn ₹1 lakh into over ₹3 lakh
The stock market is a place where people can buy tiny pieces of companies.
Some companies are big and famous, while others are smaller.
This year, ten smaller companies grew a lot, like plants getting lots of sunshine.
If someone had put 1 lakh rupees into any of these companies at the start of the year, it would now be worth more than 3 lakh rupees.
The company that grew the most is called Sanginita Chemicals, which rose by more than 500 percent.
Many of these companies earned more money and won new orders from customers.
Some make cables, food, bikes, or special chemicals.
At the same time, many big companies actually lost value this year.
So these ten smaller companies were special stars in the stock market.
Experts say strong business results helped them shine even when the wider market struggled.
Ten NSE-listed small-cap and mid-cap stocks surged more than 200% in calendar 2026 until 4 August, turning a ₹1 lakh investment into over ₹3 lakh.
Sanginita Chemicals was the top gainer with a 514.3% rally, followed by Sterlite Technologies at 485.7%.
The Nifty 50 declined around 6% year-to-date, while the Nifty Smallcap 250 and Nifty Midcap 50 advanced 9% and 5.6%, respectively.
The rallies were driven by strong earnings growth, capacity expansion, order wins, improved profitability and themes such as defence, speciality chemicals and green mobility.
The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee kept the repo rate unchanged at 5.25% on August 5, 2026.

“With economic growth remaining resilient, the RBI appears comfortable maintaining policy stability while closely monitoring global risks, including the West Asia conflict, trade disruptions and elevated crude prices. From an equity market perspective, policy continuity remains positive, particularly for rate-sensitive sectors such as banking, autos and real estate, while improving liquidity conditions and the upcoming festive season could support broader consumption and investment themes.”

“Policy highlighted the external sector facing pressures from a widening trade deficit, while domestic macroeconomic conditions are growth supportive. Revised inflation and growth projections indicate resilience of the domestic economy despite headwinds from the West Asian crisis. Revival of monsoon in July, improved kharif sowing, services’ trade surplus, decent FDI inflows, and healthy remittance receipts continue to support India's macroeconomic fundamentals.”
