Shares of Kernex Microsystems (India) Ltd are likely to be in focus after the company announced that it has secured a new order worth ₹151.41 crore (including GST) from West Central Railway, Bhopal Division. The contract has been awarded to the Kernex–KEC Consortium and will involve the provision of the KAVACH indigenous Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system on the UHF backbone along with optical fibre cable (OFC) and route diversity across key railway sections.
According to the company's exchange filing, the project has a completion timeline of 600 days and will cover sections including Itarsi (Excl.)–Khandwa (Excl.) and Bina (Excl.)–Ruthiyai , among others in the Bhopal Division.
This latest win takes Kernex's cumulative KAVACH order book—including consortium and joint venture partners—since April 1, 2024, to ₹3,136.53 crore. The order underscores the growing adoption of KAVACH, the Indian Railways' indigenous train collision avoidance system, across the network as part of its safety and modernisation drive.
Kernex, which specialises in railway signalling and safety solutions, has been a key beneficiary of the government's focus on deploying KAVACH across high-density routes. With this contract, the company has further strengthened its execution pipeline, which now spans several zones of Indian Railways.

Ajanta Pharma confirms IT raid reports, says business operations remain unaffected

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 20, 2025, 22:14 IST Shares of Ajanta Pharma Ltd. declined nearly 3% on Tuesday, August 19, after reports surfaced of Income Tax department raids at the company's premises. Business Upturn first reported the development, triggering investor concerns and a knee-jerk reaction in the stock. In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, August 20, the company confirmed that the Income Tax Department had conducted a search under the Income Tax Act, 1961, at some of its offices and manufacturing units on August 19. Ajanta Pharma stated that the search was still ongoing and that it was 'fully co-operating with the officials and providing the clarifications and details sought by them.' Importantly, the company clarified that its business operations remained unaffected and continued as usual despite the search. Ajanta also denied rumours circulating on social media, attributing the recent sharp price movement in its stock purely to market-driven factors. This remains a developing story, with investors awaiting further clarity from both the company and the tax department.

AGI Greenpac receives Rs 40.61 crore demand notice from Telangana power utility

By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on August 20, 2025, 22:17 IST Shares of AGI Greenpac Ltd. will be in focus after the company disclosed that it has received a demand notice of ₹40.61 crore from the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited (TGSPDCL). According to the company's filing, the demand pertains to surplus power procured from Andhra Pradesh Gas Power Corporation Ltd. (APGPCL) between 2002 and 2022, in addition to contracted supply. AGI Greenpac, being a beneficial shareholder under a group captive power arrangement, said it had directly paid APGPCL for the surplus power at applicable rates. However, TGSPDCL issued the demand without accounting for the payments already made to APGPCL. Challenging the demand, AGI Greenpac has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court, which has admitted the matter and is currently hearing the case. The company said it remains confident of its position and has termed the demand 'disputed.' Investors will be watching closely for the court's outcome, as the financial impact of the demand could be material if upheld.
