52-Week High Screen: Honasa Consumer, Bondada Lead

What the screen shows A 52-week high screen isn't a buy list. It's a map of where capital is crowded. Right now, seven India stocks sit at 100% of their 52-week range: [Cropster Agro](/stock/CROPSTER), [Bondada Engineering](/stock/BONDADA), Balmer Lawrie Investments, [Fedders Holding](/stock/FEDDERS), [Eraaya Lifespace](/stock/ERAAYA), [Jamshri Realty](/stock/JAMSHRI) and [Bengal & Assam](/stock/BENGALASM).
