The recent price movement follows the company's financial disclosures for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026, which reported consolidated revenues of Rs. 5,468 crore and a net profit of Rs. 30 crore. Management highlighted headwinds including geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East and execution challenges in domestic transmission projects, alongside an order book reaching a record Rs. 39,946 crore backed by recent order wins from PGCIL and other clients.

6.13 lakh shares traded by 9 November 2026 · 03:30 PM IST. This compares with a 20-day average daily volume of 37.04 lakh shares (0.17 times). The five-day average daily volume was 67.75 lakh shares.

Likely Reason
profit-taking after recent weakness and subdued volume

The stock declined by 0.98% on thin volume relative to its 20-day average, extending recent corrective trends amid broader technical weakness without a confirmed single same-day catalyst.
