Paras Defence shares jump 5% today, up 30% in 3 days as geopolitical tension, stock split buzz fuel rally
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 30, 2025, 09:43 IST
Shares of Paras Defence and Space Technologies Ltd continued their stellar run, rising another 5.10% on Tuesday to Rs 1,406.00, adding to a 30% rally over the past three sessions. The sharp surge comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan and rising investor interest ahead of a key board meeting scheduled for April 30.
The stock had already gained nearly 16% on Monday following market reactions to the Pahalgam terror attack and subsequent military activity at the Line of Control. Continued ceasefire violations by Pakistan and the Indian government's assertive posture, including suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and other diplomatic actions, have increased focus on the defence sector.
Adding further momentum, Paras Defence investors are now eyeing today's board meeting, where the company will consider a stock split and a potential dividend announcement. The proposed stock split aims to enhance share liquidity and retail participation, while the dividend could mark the first payout of the current fiscal year.
On the business front, Paras Defence remains a critical player in defence and space manufacturing, and the sentiment has been further lifted by India's upcoming Rs 63,000 crore Rafale-M jet deal with France.
As of 9:38 AM, the stock was trading at Rs 1,406, significantly higher than its previous close of Rs 1,337.80.

India's Tata Motors to invest up to $4 billion over 5 years for EVs, new cars
(Reuters) -India's Tata Motors plans to invest up to 350 billion rupees ($4.1 billion) over the next five years, aiming to cement its position as the country's top electric vehicle maker amid rising competition and a push to adopt clean cars. The maker of the Nexon and Punch sport utility vehicles will nearly double its portfolio from eight models to 15, launch more EVs and compressed natural gas cars as well as enhance the vehicles' technology features, according to its investor day presentation released on Monday. India, the world's third-largest car market, is planning stricter emission norms starting 2027 and wants EVs to form 30% of all car sales by 2030. Tata Motors did not share its investment plan for the current year to March 2026, but said last month the domestic businesses, including commercial vehicles, would have a capital expenditure of about 80 billion rupees. Intense competition in the combustion engine market has allowed rival Mahindra & Mahindra to overtake Tata. China's MG Motor has also challenged Tata's EV dominance with the "Windsor" model, outselling its products since late last year. Yet, Tata Motors maintained its target of 16% market share by March 2027, aiming to reach 18%-20% by March 2030. ($1 = 85.6310 Indian rupees)

India Gas Engine Industry Report 2025: Shift Toward Decentralized and On-site Power Generation, Growing Demand for Clean and Reliable Power - Trends, Opportunities and Forecasts 2021-2031
The India Gas Engine Market presents key opportunities in the shift towards decentralized, environmentally friendly power solutions driven by India's urbanization, rising electricity demand, and regulatory push for clean energy. Gas engines, leveraging natural and renewable fuels, offer reliable, low-emission alternatives to traditional power sources. Indian Gas Engine Market Dublin, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "India Gas Engine Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F" has been added to offering. The India Gas Engine Market was valued at USD 125 Million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 217 Million by 2031, rising at a CAGR of 9.51% Gas engines, which utilize fuels like natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, or hydrogen, offer an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diesel or petrol engines. Their application spans industrial, commercial, and residential power generation, including use in combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The increasing demand for clean energy, driven by environmental regulations and the integration of renewable fuels, is positioning gas engines as a key solution for reliable and low-emission power. Their operational flexibility in continuous and backup modes, along with compatibility with cleaner fuels, supports India's transition toward sustainable energy systems. Growing Demand for Clean and Reliable Power India's rapid urbanization, population growth, and industrial expansion have significantly increased electricity consumption. Traditional coal-powered systems face challenges due to environmental pressures and regulatory constraints, prompting a shift toward cleaner alternatives. Gas engines are emerging as a preferred option for decentralized power generation owing to their lower emissions and operational reliability. In regions plagued by power outages, industries and commercial complexes are increasingly adopting gas engines for captive energy needs. Their quick start-up capabilities also make them ideal for peak load and backup applications. The government's initiatives to reduce coal dependency and expand natural gas infrastructure further support gas engine adoption. As India's electricity demand is expected to rise by 5-6% annually, gas engines are set to play a vital role in meeting the growing need for sustainable and consistent power. Inconsistent Availability and High Cost of Natural Gas The Indian gas engine market faces a major obstacle in the form of unreliable and costly natural gas supply. Although the government is working to expand the gas pipeline network, domestic production remains insufficient, making India heavily reliant on imported Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), whose prices fluctuate with global trends and geopolitical shifts. This pricing volatility impacts the operational feasibility of gas engines, particularly for industries needing predictable energy costs. Moreover, areas lacking piped gas access depend on transported LNG, which increases logistical and financial burdens. Additionally, the limited domestic gas supply is often reserved for priority sectors like fertilizers and city gas distribution, reducing its availability for power generation. These factors contribute to investor uncertainty, hindering broader adoption of gas engine systems. Shift Toward Decentralized and On-site Power Generation A prominent trend in India's gas engine sector is the move toward decentralized and on-site energy solutions. Businesses and industries seeking independence from an unreliable grid and rising utility costs are increasingly deploying gas engines for self-generated power. This is particularly notable in energy-intensive sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, data centers, and commercial infrastructure. Decentralized generation offers advantages like reduced transmission losses, operational resilience, and better energy control. With scalability to suit varying facility sizes, gas engines are gaining ground in urban and industrial regions with access to piped gas. Additionally, compliance with stricter environmental regulations is encouraging the replacement of diesel gensets with gas engines. As organizations continue to focus on cost-efficiency and sustainability, decentralized power generation using gas engines is expected to expand further.
