This decline marks a continued downward trend, with the stock falling for five consecutive days, resulting in a total drop of 13.82% during this period.

Over the past year, Greenpanel Industries has underperformed the market, with a return of -27.78%, contrasting sharply with the Sensex's gain of 2.27%.
