The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Bhageria Industries

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Executive Chairman Suresh Kumar Bhageria for ₹4.0m worth of shares, at about ₹156 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is ₹165. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.
