Today, on 4th April 2025, the Indian Railway Finance Corp or IRFC Share Price witnessed a slight downtick of 0.6% in its share prices. Though IRFC’s stock value fell by 42% from its 52-week high, among other railway PSUs, it is still in focus today. Analysts believe that because the union budget remains unswayed for FY 26, allocating the same Rs. 2.52 lakh crores to the railway sector, investors believe that the sector will not be involved in high-capacity projects. Such opinions can lead to lower trade volumes and high sell-offs.
