Oriana Power jumped 4.70% to Rs 2,408 after the company secured an order worth Rs 212.31 crore from Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation (KPTCL) for setting up 50 MW/100 MWh standalone Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The project will install standalone grid-scale BESS facilities with a total capacity of 50 MW/100 MWh at Shahapur Taluk Yadagir, Karnataka.

The execution timeline is 15 months, with revenue generation expected over a period of 12 years. Oriana Power is engaged in two main business verticals: providing EPC and operations of solar power projects and offering solar energy solutions on a BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) basis. On a full-year basis, the company's net profit surged 192.1% to Rs 158.54 crore on a 157.8% rise in net sales to Rs 987.17 crore in FY25 over FY24.
