Backed by FIIs and MFs, these 9 microcap stocks surge up to 60% in CY25

In the year 2025 (CY25) so far, the benchmark Nifty index has rallied 3.25%, while the Nifty Microcap 250 index has declined by about 16%. Despite the overall weakness in the microcap segment, several stocks within the space have delivered notable returns. What makes this trend more compelling is the growing interest from large institutional investors, including Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and Mutual Funds (MFs), who are increasingly betting on these microcap names. This is because institutional investors typically invest in stocks only after conducting thorough research and analysis.According to an analysis by ETMarkets, institutional investors—including both FIIs and MFs—raised their holdings in 66 Nifty microcap stocks during the March 2025 quarter compared to the December 2024 quarter. While many of these stocks saw significant declines, the analysis highlights nine stocks that have stood out by delivering returns between 10% and 60% in CY25 so far.
