Tejas Networks, a domestic telecom gear manufacturer and part of the Tata Group, saw its shares surge 20% on Tuesday.

This significant revenue increase stemmed from the company managing to secure critical long-lead components, which allowed it to speed up the delivery of several large orders, particularly for BSNL 4G RAN.

During the fourth quarter, Tejas Networks reported a substantial increase in inventory, reaching ₹3,738 crore. Trade receivables stood at ₹1,458 crore, with ₹650 crore collected within the quarter, contributing to a notable rise in working capital by ₹1,519 crore.
