Multibagger small-cap stock: Elitecon International share price edged higher on Thursday, 8 January 2026, despite an overall Indian stock market crash, as the company disclosed its capital expenditure (capex) expansion plans for long-term growth.

“We wish to inform that Elitecon International Limited has taken a significant strategic step towards strengthening its long-term growth trajectory, operational scale and shareholder value creation,” the company informed BSE through its filing.

Shares of Elitecon International jumped 4.2% to its intraday high level of 99.89 during Thursday's market session, compared to 95.86 at the previous stock market close, BSE data shows.

Russia's new sanctions bill, raging geopolitical tensions, FII selling, and the looming tension over Trump tariffs have been weighing on the market. This resulted in a fourth consecutive day of losses due to a sharp selloff in the Indian stock market.

Elitecon's capex plans

Elitecon International's board disclosed that the company is evaluating a merger of Sunbridge Agro Private Limited, Landsmill Agro Private Limited, and Golden Cryo Private Limited with Elitecon, subject to regulatory approvals, as per the filing.

As part of the deal, Elitecon aims to consolidate the diverse business verticals while increasing the scale, operational efficiencies and optimised resource utilisation.
