JP Power shares slide over 5%, extend decline for second day in row
Jaiprakash Power Ventures
(
JP Power
) fell 5.06% in intraday trade on Wednesday, slipping to Rs 23.28 apiece on the BSE. This decline follows a nearly 10% drop on Tuesday, highlighting continued selling pressure in the stock.
The stock hit its 52-week high of Rs 27.62 earlier this week on July 14. With a 52-week low of Rs 12.35, the stock had more than doubled over the past year before the recent pullback.
JP Power is currently under the ASM (Additional Surveillance Measure) framework – Stage 1, a regulatory measure aimed at controlling excessive volatility and protecting retail investors.
Technical View:
Moving Averages: Despite the recent correction, the stock remains technically strong, trading above 7 out of 8 key simple moving averages (SMAs). It is currently above the 10-day to 200-day SMAs, although it has slipped below the 5-day moving average, reflecting short-term weakness.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The 14-day RSI stands at 69.8, which is just below the overbought threshold of 70. An RSI above 70 suggests a stock may be overbought, while below 30 is considered oversold.
Investors should monitor price action closely, especially with the stock under ASM surveillance and showing signs of near-term volatility after a sharp recent rally.
Adani buzz and resolution hopes
The rally last week was largely sparked by reports that the
Adani Group
had submitted a bid to acquire the debt-laden
Jaiprakash Associates
, a company linked to JP Power via a corporate guarantee on a $150 million external commercial borrowing, later converted into a Rupee loan.
HDFC Bank
to consider first-ever bonus share issue on July 19
JP Associates is undergoing insolvency resolution and has reportedly attracted six bidders: Adani,
Vedanta
,
JSPL
, Suraksha Group,
Dalmia Bharat
, and
PNC Infratech
. The proposals are understood to be for acquiring the company in full. The strategic implications of the resolution process have brought JP Power into sharp focus, fueling both price and volume action in recent sessions.

Export of mobile phones jumps 127 times in a decade: Govt
New Delhi: India has witnessed a phenomenal surge in mobile phone exports, which have risen 127 times in the last decade from just Rs 0.01 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 2 lakh crore in 2024-25, the Parliament was informed on Wednesday. Officials credited this remarkable growth to the reforms and policy measures introduced under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' vision, which transformed India into a global hub for electronics manufacturing. The production of mobile phones has jumped from Rs 0.18 lakh crore in 2014-15 to Rs 5.5 lakh crore in 2024-25 -- marking a 28-fold increase, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Jitin Prasada said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. During the same period, the number of mobile manufacturing units expanded from just two in 2014 to over 300 in 2025, a rise of 150 times. As a result, India, once dependent on imports to meet nearly three-fourths of its mobile phone demand, now imports a negligible 0.02 per cent of the total units sold. Overall electronics production has also grown six times in the last decade, from Rs 1.9 lakh crore to Rs 11.3 lakh crore, while exports of electronic goods have surged eight times to Rs 3.3 lakh crore in 2024-25. The government attributed this turnaround to flagship schemes like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for large-scale electronics and IT hardware, the Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC and EMC 2.0), the Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS), and the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017. These initiatives have generated an estimated 25 lakh direct and indirect jobs in the electronics sector across India. Maharashtra alone hosts 85 supported manufacturing units, two common facility centres and one electronics manufacturing cluster under the Ministry's schemes. The government also highlighted the role of Digital India and Skill India programmes in equipping youth with digital skills. In Maharashtra, over 53 lakh people have been trained under Pradhan Mantri Gramin Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA), including nearly 6 lakh from Scheduled Tribes, while initiatives like FutureSkills PRIME and drone technology training programmes have further expanded employability opportunities.
