Why are Adani Power share price up 7% today? Explained
Shares of Adani Power Limited surged over 7% on Monday after the company announced it had secured a Letter of Award (LoA) from Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) for a long-term power supply contract. As per the revised exchange filing dated May 12, 2025, Adani Power will supply 1,500 MW of electricity to UPPCL over a 25-year period.
The supply will originate from a planned 2×800 MW (1,600 MW) thermal power project in Uttar Pradesh, developed under a competitive bidding framework. The contract, awarded through UPPCL's standard tendering process, aligns with state procurement guidelines.
Though financial specifics of the order were not disclosed, Adani Power confirmed that the tariff would be governed by the bid terms. Importantly, the company clarified that the project falls under domestic procurement and does not involve any related party interest from Adani Group promoters.
The stock jumped as much as 7% intraday following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence in the company's expanding portfolio of long-term power purchase agreements. The stock exchanges had previously advised the company to issue a revised disclosure after its initial announcement on May 10, which was complied with today.
The development strengthens Adani Power's standing as a key private sector player in India's thermal power sector, particularly in long-term, state-backed supply agreements.

Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Officials recover black box from crash site – Know how important this device is
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 13, 2025, 15:23 IST A major breakthrough in the investigation into the tragic crash of Air India Flight AI171 has emerged, as police officials told Reuters that a black box has been recovered from the crash site. This vital device, which contains both the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), will be critical in determining the events leading up to the crash that claimed 241 lives. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited those injured in the incident, including the lone survivor, offering reassurance and support to them and their families. 'The entire nation is praying for their speedy recovery,' the PM said, calling the crash a national tragedy. Meanwhile, survivor Bhoomi Chauhan, a resident of Bharuch, shared her miraculous escape. Chauhan was supposed to be on the flight but missed it by just 10 minutes due to traffic in Ahmedabad. 'When I came to know that the flight had crashed, I was totally numb. I thank my mother Goddess that I am safe,' she said, visibly shaken by the terrifying ordeal. Authorities continue to search through the debris for more clues. Investigators have pinned their hopes on the black box, which could offer insight into the aircraft's systems and cockpit conversations prior to the crash. The London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff on June 12, hitting a residential block near the airport and bringing the total confirmed death toll to 317, including civilians on the ground.

Apollo Tyres falls nearly 2% as crude oil surge sparks margin worries amid Israel-Iran tensions
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 13, 2025, 09:41 IST Shares of Apollo Tyres Ltd declined 1.56% to ₹450 in Friday's session, slipping from a previous close of ₹457.15, as investors turned cautious following a sharp rise in crude oil prices after Israel launched a military strike on Iran. The tyre sector, including companies like Apollo Tyres, is highly sensitive to crude price movements since synthetic rubber—one of the main raw materials—is derived from petroleum. A surge in crude prices raises input costs, tightening operating margins for tyre makers. Crude benchmarks like WTI and Brent jumped over 10% amid concerns of wider regional escalation, adding pressure across oil-linked sectors. With Apollo Tyres already operating at a competitive margin environment, this external shock could weigh on short-term profitability unless offset by price hikes or volume gains.
