Penny stock under ₹15: Rama Steel Tubes share price soars 18% on renewable energy foray
Multibagger penny stock in focus today: Shares of Rama Steel Tubes, a leading manufacturer of branded steel products in India, spiked up 18.2% in intraday trade on Thursday, June 05, to hit a 5-month high of ₹ 13.84 apiece following its entry into the renewable energy segment by acquiring interest in a 225 MW PM-KUSUM solar power initiative.
In an exchange filing today, the company announced an updated strategic investment in the renewable energy space through its participation as a joint venture (JV) partner in a 225 MW solar power project under the Government of India's ambitious PM-KUSUM
The project, structured under Onix IPP, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), is spread across multiple locations in Maharashtra. It has successfully signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) at a fixed tariff of ₹ 3.10 per unit for a 25-year term.
This investment marks RSTL's significant diversification into the clean energy space. The company said that the participation ensures stable long-term returns from the green and renewable energy sector. With its 10% stake in the SPV, the company will proportionally benefit from recurring income, adding a new dimension of sustainability-linked revenue to its business portfolio.
As part of this venture, Rama Steel holds a 10% equity stake in Onix IPP. The project is expected to generate gross annual revenue of ₹ 108.11 crore, translating to a total revenue of ₹ 2,702.81 crore over the 25-year PPA period.
Based on its stake, RSTL is projected to earn ₹ 10.81 crore annually, resulting in a total share of ₹ 270.28 crore over the entire duration of the agreement.
Mr Richi Bansal, whole time director & chief executive officer, said, "we are proud to be part of this landmark renewable energy initiative. Our strategic investment in the 225 MW PM-KUSUM project not only strengthens our ESG profile but also diversifies our revenue base. This is a future-forward step aligned with India's net-zero vision and rural empowerment.'
Earlier, the company entered the defence sector by incorporating Rama Defence Private Limited, which will engage in trading, importing, exporting, manufacturing, assembling, and supplying defence equipment, arms, ammunition, explosives, and related military and security hardware.
The company, which operates in the steel tubes and pipes manufacturing sector, has seen its shares skyrocket 177% in the last three years and 3,217% over the past five years. The company's shares have been trading ex-split in the ratio of 2:1 since March 2024.

Farm reset: Government says agriculture sector reshaped in 11 years, budget surged five-fold since 2013 & crop output jumped
A surge in budget allocation and sustained policy focus over the past 11 years has led to a wide-ranging transformation in India's agricultural sector, the Centre said on Saturday, crediting flagship schemes with driving output, procurement, and farmer support to new highs. In an official statement, the government said its agri reforms have empowered farmers and repositioned India on the path from food security to global agricultural leadership. The transformation, it said, has focused on inclusive development — covering smallholders, women-led groups, allied sectors, and traditional practices such as millet farming. 'Over the past eleven years, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, India's agricultural sector has undergone a profound transformation, rooted in the philosophy of Beej Se Bazaar Tak (seed to market),' the statement said, quoted PTI. Budgetary support for the Department of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare has risen nearly five times — from Rs 27,663 crore in 2013-14 to Rs 1,37,664.35 crore in 2024-25. Foodgrain output also recorded an increase from 265.05 million tonnes in 2014-15 to an estimated 347.44 million tonnes in 2024-25. The government said it has sharply increased minimum support prices (MSP) for key crops. Wheat MSP rose from Rs 1,400 per quintal in 2013-14 to Rs 2,425 per quintal in 2024-25, while the paddy MSP increased from Rs 1,310 to Rs 2,369 per quintal between 2013-14 and 2025-26. Since its launch in 2019, the PM-KISAN scheme has disbursed Rs 3.7 lakh crore to over 110 million farmers. Separately, about Rs 10 lakh crore in credit has been sanctioned to 7.71 crore farmers under the Kisan Credit Card initiative. Crop procurement volumes have seen a sharp uptick. Kharif procurement between FY15 and FY25 totalled 787.1 million tonnes, compared with 467.9 million tonnes in the previous decade. MSP procurement of pulses jumped from 1.52 lakh tonnes (2009–2014) to 8.3 million tonnes (2020–2025), while oilseeds procurement has grown multifold over the same period. The Centre highlighted additional measures such as investments in modern irrigation, digital agri-marketplaces, tech-led solutions, and credit support. Allied sectors like dairy and fisheries have also expanded during the period. 'As India enters Amrit Kaal, its empowered farmers stand ready to lead the nation from food security to global food leadership,' the government said.
