Kitex Garments Share Price was at Rs 123.95 on 20 August 2026 at 12:54 PM IST, down Rs 0.20 or 0.16% from the previous close of Rs 124.15, after the stock touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs 123.30.

The supplied data confirms the price event but does not establish a company-specific catalyst behind the decline.

Today’s session also showed an opening price of Rs 125.05, an intraday high of Rs 127.50, turnover of Rs 0.36 crore and traded volume of 29,327 shares. The available momentum reading places the 14-day RSI at 22.91, which falls in weak territory. Longer-term reference points supplied in the dataset also show the stock below its 50-day moving average of Rs 144.99 and 200-day moving average of Rs 167.40. For readers following Kitex Garments Share Price Today and Kitex Garments Stock News, the main issues now are price behaviour near the yearly low, valuation context and how the company compares with the wider textile pack on Univest.

For investors tracking Kitex Garments Share Price Live and broader Price Action in the Indian Stock Market, today’s move is more significant for the level breached than for the size of the daily decline.
