Paytm shares sharply rallied more than 7% on Wednesday as brokerages issued bullish notes and increased target prices for the fintech stock after the government announced the first-ever Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on select UPI transactions above Rs 2,000.
The company's shares rallied sharply to Rs 1,855.50 apiece on NSE, on track to record the sharpest single-day jump since August 10, when they surged 10% after Bernstein gave its first-ever price target above the company’s original IPO price.
