Small-cap stock jumps 6% on securing solar power project from NHPC. Do you own?
Around 38 lakh PNC Infratech shares changed hands on the stock exchanges as against its one week average trading volume of 3 lakh shares.
PNC Infratech said that it has emerged as one of the Lowest (Ll) Bidders in a tender floated by NHPC for setting up of 1200 MW ISTS (Inter State Transmission System) Connected Solar Power Projects with 600 MW / 2400 MWh Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in India.
The company has secured the project through Tariff Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) and on the basis of electronic (online) reverse action mechanism. The project also comes with a Green Shoe Option at a quoted price of ₹ 3.13 per kwh.
'Out of the above-mentioned total quantity, the Company has been allotted 300 MW ISTS Solar Power Project with 150 MW / 600 MWh Energy Storage System (ESS) at the said quoted price through electronic (online) reverse action mechanism held on 15.7.2025,' PNC Infratech said in a regulatory filing on July 16.
The Scheduled Commencement of Supply Date (SCSD) shall be 24 months from the effective date of PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), and the PPA (operation period) shall be for a period of 25 years from the SCSD, it added.
PNC Infratech share price is on the verge of breaking out from a bullish 106-day-long cup and handle pattern, with the breakout level placed at ₹ 325, said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments.
'Volumes have surged to over 451% of the 50-day average, a strong signal of institutional footprints backing the move. For this breakout to sustain, PNC Infratech stock price must close convincingly above ₹ 325 in the near term. If that happens, the structure points towards an initial target near the ₹ 375 level. The setup remains strong, and momentum indicators are aligned in favor of a continuation once the breakout is confirmed,' Jain said.
PNC Infratech share price gained 10% in one month and 19% in three months. The smallcap stock has risen 7% in the past six months, but has remained flat on a year-to-date (YTD) basis. Over the past one year, PNC Infratech shares have declined more than 37%, while it has delivered multibagger returns of 138% in five years.
At 9:55 AM, PNC Infratech share price was trading 4.50% higher at ₹ 325.25 apiece on the BSE.

Jane Street yet to resume F&O trade; market vigilance up: Sebi chief
Jane Street has not resumed trading in futures and options (F&O) since the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) lifted the bar imposed on July 3, said Tuhin Kanta Pandey, the regulator's chairman, in an interview with BusinessWorld. Pandey said that Sebi and exchanges are maintaining 'aggressive surveillance' of the market since the regulator's order against the US-based trading company. He defended the decision to impose only a temporary ban on the company, noting that a permanent one without a show-cause notice or a final order would be 'arbitrary and legally unsustainable.' Sebi lifted Jane Street's trading ban after the firm deposited Rs 4,844 crore in an escrow account and gave an undertaking to refrain from manipulative or fraudulent trading. Addressing concerns about market surveillance, Pandey said, 'Technology is evolving at a breakneck pace, and no regulator can claim to be superhuman. The Jane Street case highlighted the need to upgrade our surveillance systems, and we're actively doing so.' He added that Sebi has introduced new surveillance parameters and is exploring tools that use artificial intelligence to spot anomalies in F&O trading, including unusual delta exposures or spikes in out-of-the-money options. Sebi is also open to external expertise to keep pace with sophisticated market participants. 'Staying ahead of HFT [high-frequency traders] is a cat-and-mouse game, and we're committed to evolving dynamically,' he said. Sebi's ex-parte interim order on July 3 directed the impounding of alleged illegal gains from market manipulation, specifically on index expiry days. 'Our jurisprudence doesn't allow us to treat someone as guilty without due process. The $597 million deposit is a strong signal — unprecedented in itself — that Sebi means business. We're not here to play hero; we're here to build trust through consistent, lawful regulation,' said the Sebi chairman. He clarified that Jane Street was compliant with foreign portfolio investor (FPI) regulations, including disclosures of ultimate beneficiary ownership for stakes above 10 per cent. 'Their trades in F&O don't involve equity ownership,' Pandey noted. The July 3 order was based on surveillance reports provided by the NSE. Sebi has since broadened its investigation to include other indices and trading strategies. Addressing questions about potential data delays from the BSE, Pandey said, 'I wasn't aware of specific delays in BSE's data sharing, but I'll verify this. The Jane Street order focused on the manipulation evidence we already had, primarily from our surveillance and NSE data, which was sufficient for the interim action.'

1035% surge in a year! Small-cap stock announces interim dividend, fixes record date. Check details
Stock Market today: A small-cap stock that has surged 1035% in a year has announced an interim dividend and also fixed a record date. Check details about Aayush Wellness Limited. Small-cap stock Aayush Wellness on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, announced the outcome of the board meeting for the declaration of interim dividend. In its release on the BSE, or Bombay Stock Exchange, and the Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Limited, Aayush Wellness announced that its board of directors has considered and approved declaring an interim dividend of Rs. 0.025 (two and a half paisa only) per equity share with a face value of Rs. 01 (one rupee only) for the quarter ended 30th June 2025. Small-cap stock Aayush Wellness record date for dividend - The board has set Tuesday, August 5, 2025, as the record date for determining eligible members to receive the interim dividend. The record date implies that for investors to be added to the list of eligible shareholders for dividends under the T+1 settlement method, investors had to purchase stock in these companies at least one day before the record date. i.e., investors will have to buy shares of Aayush Wellness on or before Monday, 04 August 2025, to be eligible to receive a dividend. Small-cap stock Aayush Wellness—Dividend payout date The interim dividend will be paid on or before August 28, 2025, to qualifying shareholders as of the record date. Aayush Wellness saw its share price open at ₹ 218.80 on the BSE on Monday. At the time of opening, the small-cap stock Aayush Wellness was almost 2% lower than the previous day's closing price of ₹ 223.25. Since ₹ 218.80 also remained to be the lower price band of the Aayush Wellness share price, the small-cap stock Aayush Wellness was locked in the lower circuit. Aayush Wellness, though, has corrected from the 52-week, or 1-year, high price of ₹ 267.30 seen in July 2025 itself. However, the small-cap stock Aayush Wellness, having bounced multifold from a 52-week low of ₹ 18.68, has given multibagger returns to the investors. The stock is up 1036% during the last year.

Tata Motors shares fall 4%. Here's why investors are worried about $4.5 billion Iveco gamble
Tata Motors shares crashed 4% to Rs 665.45 on BSE Wednesday as news of the automaker's audacious $4.5 billion bid for Italy's truck-maker Iveco spread through Dalal Street. The mega-deal, set to become the Tata Group's second-largest acquisition after Corus, has investors running for cover amid fears the cash-strapped company is biting off more than it can chew. The boards of Tata Motors and Turin-based Iveco are meeting on Wednesday to approve the transaction that would make it the automobile major's largest-ever acquisition, dwarfing even the $2.3 billion Jaguar Land Rover purchase in 2008.

Another investment of $4.5 billion at this stage would mean borrowings would increase, as cash flow is not sufficient to finance the deal," warned Dr Nitin Balwani, Associate Dean and Professor at NMIMS School of Business Management. The market is sceptical of huge investments as it fears that the company is spreading itself too thin and it would take time to absorb the acquisition and make it work, he told ET Markets. Also Read | Tata Motors set to acquire Italian truck maker Iveco for $4.5 billion in its biggest deal to date UBS maintained its bearish stance, keeping a 'Sell' rating with a target price of Rs 690. The global brokerage noted that Tata Motors may have to spend over €1.5 billion, including the mandatory open offer that would be triggered under regulations. Under the proposed M&A deal structure, Tata Motors would acquire 27.1% from Exor, the Agnelli family's investment company, before launching a tender offer to buy out smaller shareholder groups. Exor controls 43.1% of voting rights in the truck maker. The Tata Group is confident of securing 100% of listed Iveco, excluding the defence business, which is being demerged and will not be part of the transaction, ET reported earlier. JPMorgan's analysis shows Iveco's industrial business derives 70% of revenue from trucks, with buses and powertrain contributing 15% each. The Group commanded a 13.3% market share in 2024 in the Light Commercial Vehicles segment, along with an 8% to 9% share in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles segment. The $4.5 billion (€3.9 billion) deal represents a massive bet for Tata Motors, which is already grappling with the challenges of electrifying Jaguar Land Rover while managing substantial capital requirements. The acquisition comes at a time when the company faces mounting pressure from trade tariffs affecting premium markets and the need for massive investments to meet stringent emission norms. Tata Motors stock has been under sustained pressure and has fallen 42% in the last one year.
