And it will be wrong to say one did not anticipate it. IRCTC’s performance in the stock market has been quite a stellar one so far. The company’s shares have grown a whopping 610% since its listing exactly two years ago. If you had invested ₹1,00,000 on its IPO in October 2019, your shares would now be worth ₹7,10,000. A seven fold return in a span of 24 months is great news for an investor. Even Twitter is so excited about IRCTC’s uphill growth that it has not turned into a meme fest. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Brokerage firm Anand Rathi, in August 2021, anticipated IRCTC shares to be valued at ₹2,850 apiece in the next one year.

IRCTC share price crosses the ₹5,000-mark and India’s Twitterati see the funny side of it

<ul class="p-rich_text_list p-rich_text_list__bullet"><li>A media report said that DIPAM Secretary confirmed the withdrawal of its decision of sharing revenue from convenience fees.</li><li>The government had yesterday asked <keyword id="65866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="irctc" source="Orion">IRCTC</keyword> to share 50% of revenue coming from service charts on e-ticketing, i.e., convenience fees.</li><li>Shares of IRCTC, which had slipped more than 25% on Friday morning, recovered on this news.</li></ul>The Indian government has reportedly withdrawn its decision of asking 50% of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation’s (IRCTC) revenue from convenience fees. CNBCTV-18 reported that the secretary at the department of investment and public asset management (DIPAM) confirmed the withdrawal of its decision of sharing revenue from convenience fees. Shares of IRCTC recovered after a sharp fall on Friday morning trade on the announcement of sharing half of its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/government-asks-irctc-to-share-half-of-its-convenience-fees-revenue/articleshow/87338962.cms">convenience fees </a>with the government. On October 28, after the railway company informed stock exchanges of the government’s decision, many investors had criticised the move on social media portals. Shares of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation recovered after losing more than 25% in the early trade on announcement of government asking IRCTC 50% of revenue coming from service charts on e-ticketing, i.e., convenience fees, with the government. The move came as a big shock to investors as it meant IRCTC would have to share a chunk of its revenue with the government. In FY21, IRCTC earned ₹299 crore from this segment, which is almost 40% of its revenue from operations of ₹783 crore. At 11:11 a.m. shares of the company were trading 4% lower at 875.95 per share.

The government currently holds 87.40 per cent stake in IRCTC. To meet Sebi's public holding norm, the government has to lower its stake in the company to 75 per cent.

These quick gains have made the shares of the company spike 5 times i.e., 410% since its listing on exchanges in October 2019. Analysts believe the stock price is rising because of the company’s aggressive expansion plan in the hospitality sector. "IRCTC is aggressively focusing on its hospitality business by tying up with hotels, tour and travel service providers and local food suppliers. It is also giving special focus to its food chain business in running trains. Apart from this, IRCTC has made tie-ups with aviation companies as well. So, [the] market has realised that in coming times, it is no more [sic] going to remain an Indian Railways' e-ticket booking platform. It will emerge as A-Z hospitality service provider," said Ravi Singhal, vice chairman at GCL Securities according to a report by Mint. Analysts at Swastika Investmart reportedly say the reopening theme post covid restrictions is the reason for the traction in the stock along with news of stock split. Railways' <a href="https://www.livemint.com/market/stock-market-news/why-analysts-are-bullish-on-irctc-ircon-here-are-the-triggers-11629954156351.html">asset monetisation plan</a> is another trigger for the stock rise. On August 12, IRCTC approved a stock split in the ratio of 1:5 to enhance the liquidity in the capital market, widen the shareholder base and make the shares affordable to small investors. A stock split is generally done to make the stock more affordable for the small retail investors and increase liquidity. On September 17, the stock was up 5.44% as of 10:43 a.m., with heavy volumes. 5.29 million shares changed hands on the exchanges as compared to a roughly average volume of around 1 million shares. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Period </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Gains in IRCTC share price </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Last 5 days </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">17% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">One month </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">48% </td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">This year so far </td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">174% </td></tr></tbody></table> IRCTC is a central public sector enterprise operating in four segments, namely internet ticketing, catering, packaged drinking water, and travel and tourism.

A stock split is the process of reducing the price, in turn, giving the existing shareholders more shares in the company. If you have 1,000 shares worth ₹100 each, and the stock split is 10:1, you will have 10,000 shares worth ₹10 each.
