Reliance Power share price jumps 8% to fresh 52-week high; Should you buy?
Reliance Power share price extended its upward momentum for the third consecutive session on Monday, surging nearly 8% to hit a fresh 52-week high amid robust trading volumes. The Anil Ambani-led Reliance Power shares rallied as much as 7.79% to touch a new high of ₹ 62.80 apiece on the BSE.
This latest gain in Reliance Power shares follows an impressive 11% jump in the previous session, bringing the stock's one-week gain to over 21%.
Trading volumes in Reliance Power shares were significantly elevated, with around 61 crore shares changing hands on Monday — more than double its one-week average of 27 crore shares, and nearly five times the one-month average of 13 crore shares.
The surge in trading activity and stock price follows the announcement of a major renewable energy project win.
Reliance Power on May 28 announced that its subsidiary, Reliance NU Energies Private Limited (Reliance NU Energies), received the Letter of Award (LOA) from SJVN, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise, for a 350 MW inter-state transmission system (ISTS)-connected solar power project coupled with a 175 MW/700 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
Once commissioned, the platform will add 600 MW of solar DC capacity, and 700 MWh of BESS capacity to Reliance Power's portfolio. The company's total clean energy pipeline now stands at 2.4 GW of Solar DC capacity and over 2.5 GWH of BESS capacity, making it India's largest player in the integrated Solar + BESS segment, Reliance Power said in a regulatory filing on May 28, 2025.
Reliance NU Energies had earlier emerged as the successful bidder in the competitive auction conducted by SJVN, securing the project at a fixed tariff of ₹ 3.33 per kWh for a period of 25 years.
Reliance Power share price has delivered stellar returns in recent months. The Anil Ambani Group stock is up 53% over the past one month and 85% over the last three months. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, Reliance Power shares have gained 38%, while delivering multibagger returns of 151% over the past one year.
The rally has been even more pronounced over the long term, with the Reliance Power stock price rising 370% in two years and an astounding 2,800% over the last five years.
From a technical perspective, Reliance Power is currently the strongest performer among Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) stocks. The stock recently broke out of a 33-week-long 'cup and handle' formation on the weekly chart, noted Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.
'The breakout was backed by volumes 8x higher than the 50-day average, indicating strong, broad-based participation. Reliance Power share price is currently holding above the breakout level, and any dip towards ₹ 48 or consolidation around this zone presents a fresh buying opportunity,' Jain said.
The pattern projects an immediate upside target of ₹ 65, with a further potential move towards ₹ 79, he added.
At 12:40 PM, Reliance Power share price was trading 6.52% higher at ₹ 61.95 apiece on the BSE.

Role of BESS in shaping India's Energy Transition
The climate crisis has changed the idea of energy security. A country's energy sources must stand firm on four planks: availability, accessibility, affordability, and environmental acceptability. Environmental acceptability focuses on the trade-offs policymakers and the public are willing to make in terms of pollution, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, renewables have strengthened their position as an energy source that provides affordable power with lower emissions. They are important for the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 7, which focuses on access to clean energy. The case for integrating green energy into power systems is further strengthened by looming climate risks and geopolitical tensions. However, increasing renewable energy capacity may not have the desired results due to the intermittent nature of the resource. Energy storage technologies, such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), offer a crucial solution to mitigate the variability of renewable energy while enhancing grid stability. Why energy storage matters With the potential to enhance grid operations, enable large-scale integration of renewables, and provide reliable power, energy storage systems are critical to the energy transition. Among the technologies available, BESS stands out for its affordability, scalability, rapid deployment, and geographical flexibility. By stabilising the grid, balancing demand-supply fluctuations, and enabling peak load management, BESS plays a foundational role across all forms of energy storage. Integrating BESS into the grid with renewables can considerably reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. Further, its ability to support decentralised energy solutions and microgrids ensures renewable energy reaches where it is needed most, making BESS a key enabler of a cleaner, more resilient, and equitable energy ecosystem. Declining costs and technological advancements lead to the accelerating expansion of BESS. Over the past 15 years, the average cost of batteries has fallen by nearly 90%. However, despite this progress, utilisation of its full potential is impeded by regulatory, technical, financial, and market barriers. India's BESS Landscape Emerging economies such as India can lead by example in BESS deployment through a combination of financing and policy measures. India has set a target of 500 GW of installed power capacity from non-conventional fuels by 2030. As of January 2025, the country had already achieved 217.62 GW. To achieve full results, BESS deployment must be accelerated. In this regard, the government has committed to installing 47 GW of BESS by 2032 to enable increased renewable deployment and its integration with the grid. Schemes such as Viability Gap Funding and waiver of interstate transmission system charges for BESS projects commissioned by June 2025 have been enacted to support BESS projects. But progress has been slow. In the Economic Survey 2024-25, the Indian government highlighted the challenges associated with scaling up renewable energy and energy storage deployment — including the lack of investment for grid upgradation, speed of BESS deployment by large customers, access to critical minerals needed for indigenisation of storage technology, and delays in large-scale BESS agreements. The survey called for focusing on innovation and investment for resolving challenges in procuring battery storage, grid infrastructure, and critical minerals. Innovative partnerships can help scale up BESS deployment. Using an alliance of public, private, and philanthropic entities can provide concessional funding and technical assistance for BESS. Following the idea of leveraging collaboration to bring results, the BESS pilot project was initiated in Delhi by BSES Rajdhani Private Limited in partnership with IndiGrid Infrastructure Trust (IndiGrid) and Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP). The commissioning of the 20 MW/40 MWh BESS project at BRPL's 33/11 kV Kilokari substation is a milestone for India's energy storage. It will provide a reliable power supply for over 12,000 low-income consumers. The project marks a significant step forward toward India's goal of 47 GW of energy storage by 2030, creating a technical playbook for BESS adoption, supporting regulatory reforms, and incentivising future BESS projects. Another example of how partnerships can help scale up BESS deployment in India is EnerGrid — a $300 million platform for developing greenfield transmission and standalone BESS projects. It was launched in 2024 by IndiGrid, British International Investment, and the Norwegian Climate Investment Fund managed by Norfund. Facilitating more such initiatives will be key to increasing BESS deployment in India, fulfilling SDG 7 commitments, enhancing energy security, and improving grid stability. Emerging as a leader India has been emerging as a leader in renewable energy deployment. The reasons for increasing renewables in the energy supply are to reduce emissions and create independence from imports of conventional fuels. However, the full potential of renewable energy cannot be achieved without energy storage. To become energy secure, India must complement its renewable energy capacity with BESS. With partnerships, expeditious large-scale BESS projects for central and State grids, concessional financing, technological aid, manufacturing localisation, and recycling opportunities, India can utilise BESS to its fullest extent. This can make India a leader among emerging economies in terms of BESS projects. As a member of the BESS consortium, founded by GEAPP, India has been focusing on deploying energy storage to ensure any increase in renewable energy power capacity can be utilised to its full potential. With more alliances, India can emerge as an energy-secure nation with flexible grids and increased renewable deployment.

Bofors to boom with desi designed, developed ‘made in Nagpur' ammo
Nagpur: Nearly 40 years after the 155mm Bofors Howitzers were purchased, India is finally close to having entirely indigenously designed and developed ammunition for the famed guns that boomed in the Kargil war. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Though the gun itself was indigenized and inducted in 2019, the shells, though made domestically, were based on a South African design. The Indian 155mm ammunition has been designed by Armaments Research and Development Establishment (ARDE), an arm of the Defence Research and Development Organisation ( ). The new shells will be manufactured by Yantra India Limited (YIL) at its flagship unit — the Ordnance Factory Ambajhari at Nagpur. YIL is a public sector undertaking (PSU) formed out of the erstwhile Ordnance Factories in 2021. From the private sector, Anil Ambani's Reliance Infrastructure Ltd will also be making the shells, becoming the first private company to enter the segment. Reliance Infrastructure is planning to set up a manufacturing plant at Ratnagiri with an investment of Rs5,000 crore. All the new versions are expected to be inducted by 2026, said sources in the know of the development. Only YIL has been making these shells — since the pre-PSU days. These are based on a transfer of technology (TOT) sourced from Naschem, a South African defence manufacturer. The recent global conflicts have also triggered a major demand for the 155mm calibre shells. ARDE has developed four indigenous versions of the ammunition — high explosive (HE), smoke, illumination, and cargo. The HE shell is the basic variant. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The smoke version can provide a screen against detection by the enemy, while the illumination shells can light up the entire area after hitting the target. The cargo version has bomblets shooting out of the main shell, explained sources. User trials of the Indian high explosive version were conducted recently. The other three versions — smoke, illumination, and cargo — are at different stages of evaluation too, said sources. YIL will replace the existing extended range full bore (ERFB) version shells of Naschem design, which had nubs, an additional component fixed in the shells to ensure aerodynamic stability within the gun's barrel, said top sources. The Indian design does away with the need for fixing a nub. The shape was designed in such a way that the shell will be able to achieve stability on its own and even achieve a range of up to 36km. This is slightly longer than the shell made so far, said sources. As Yantra will be making empty shells, its sister PSU — Munitions India Limited — will fill them up with explosives. Around 10 Indian companies are part of Reliance's supply chain. The company hopes to get orders of Rs10,000 crore in 10 years, said a source. Box Imported to indigenous in 40 years After Swedish Bofors artillery guns were purchased in 1986, even the initial lot of ammunition came with it. Ordnance Factories then continued to make the M-107 ammunition based on Swedish technology. In 2000, a new design was adopted based on a transfer of technology with South African defence manufacturer Naschem Corporation. The factories continued to depend on Naschem for a base-bleed, a key component, until the mid-2000s. The supply was stopped after the company was blacklisted in around 2005. Eventually, the Ordnance Factories indigenized the base-bleed, which gives an extra thrust to the shell, though manufacturing continued as per the South African design. TNN
