More than 65 crore shares of JP Power changed hands during the session as the stock continued its upward move for the fifth consecutive trading day. The sharp rise in trading activity came after Adani Power finalised agreements with Jaiprakash Associates to acquire a 24% stake in the company.

The stock has witnessed strong momentum over the past two months. After gaining more than 40% in April, JP Power has risen over 13% so far in May.

At the same time, benchmark indices traded within a narrow range as investors tracked geopolitical developments in West Asia. The Sensex touched an intraday high of 76,225 and a low of 75,797, while the Nifty 50 moved between 23,983 and 23,869 during the session.

Buying Interest Continues In JP Power

Market activity in JP Power remained significantly higher than average daily volumes as traders continued to react to developments related to the Adani Group transaction.

The proposed acquisition is expected to strengthen Adani Power’s presence in the power generation segment while providing operational support to Jaiprakash Power Ventures. The development has also renewed investor interest in the stock after an extended period of subdued trading activity earlier this year.

JP Power was among the top volume leaders on the NSE alongside Vodafone Idea, Easy Trip Planners, Suzlon Energy, Adani Power, IFCI, Reliance Power and YES Bank.

Broader Market Remains Cautious

The broader market sentiment stayed cautious amid reports of fresh military activity involving Iran and Israel. Investors were also watching ongoing diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran through intermediary channels.
According to market participants, benchmark indices may continue to remain range-bound until there is greater clarity on geopolitical developments and crude oil price movement.

On the technical front, analysts indicated that the Nifty 50 faces immediate resistance in the 24,100–24,200 zone, while support is seen near the 23,900 mark.

Stock Extends Recent Rally

JP Power has been one of the stronger-performing mid-cap power stocks in recent weeks, supported by improved market sentiment around infrastructure and energy companies.

The stock’s sustained rally, coupled with unusually high traded volumes, has placed it among the most closely tracked counters in the power sector this month. Investors are expected to continue monitoring further updates related to the stake acquisition process and company-level developments in the coming sessions.
