Penny stock under Re 1 hits upper circuit despite stock market crash; here's why
The gains in Dharan Infra-EPC share price comes despite the broader weakness in the Indian stock market today.
Infrastructure company Dharan Infra-EPC recently announced that it has executed a One-Time Settlement (OTS) agreement with the Central Bank of India for the structured resolution of its outstanding financial obligations. The agreement was executed for a total settlement value of ₹ 4.30 crore.
As part of the agreement, an initial payment of ₹ 43 lakh, representing 10% of the outstanding amount, was made on July 28, 2025. The remaining balance will be paid in three structured tranches, with the final installment due on or before January 31, 2026, Dharan Infra-EPC said in a release.
The company is actively engaging in constructive dialogue with the lending institutions to continue pursuing structured solutions for all residual obligations, it added.
The company clarified that although some loans are still classified as defaults, they are fully secured by collateral valued at nearly twice the outstanding principal. This provides sufficient protection for lenders and helps minimize the risk of any significant negative impact on the company's operations or financial stability.
Dharan Infra-EPC share price has fallen sharply over the years. The penny stock declined 10% in one month and more than 37% in the past six months. On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the small-cap stock has dropped 51%, while it has plunged 63% in the past two years.
At 12:00 PM, Dharan Infra-EPC share price was still locked in 5% upper circuit of ₹ 0.42 apiece on the BSE.

India-UK CETA: A Boost for India's Technical Textile Exports to the UK
PNN Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 4: The recently signed India-UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Mr. Keir Starmer, marks a transformative milestone in strengthening economic and trade ties between the two countries. The Agreement offers 100% duty-free market access for Indian exports to the UK, covering 99% of the UK's tariff lines, thereby unlocking new opportunities for several sectors, particularly Technical Textiles. Bhadresh Dodhia, Immediate Past Chairman of MATEXIL (Manmade Fibre and Technical Textiles Export Promotion Council), who was part of the High-Powered Business Delegation accompanying Prime Minister Modi to the UK, said "This historic agreement is poised to open substantial new market opportunities for India's Technical Textiles sector. India will now enjoy a significant competitive edge over China in this domain, as China does not have any FTA with the UK." The UK currently imports Technical Textiles worth over USD 7 billion annually. India, with its growing capabilities, can scale up its exports in this segment from USD 240 million at present to over USD 1 billion by 2030. Shaleen Toshniwal, Chairman, MATEXIL, welcomed the CETA and emphasized that key sub-segments such as Agrotech, Geotech, Hometech, Indutech, Packtech, and Sportech are poised for strong growth under the agreement, citing India's cost competitiveness and manufacturing strength. Further , he added that "With the removal of tariff barriers, Indian exporters can now significantly enhance their footprint in the UK across high-potential categories like medical textiles, protective wear, geo-textiles, industrial fabrics, and agro-tech textiles." India already possesses the technical capability to produce high-performance textiles in line with global standards. The India-UK CETA will allow Indian manufacturers to compete on equal terms with global players in the UK market. MATEXIL, which is entrusted with the export promotion of both Manmade Fibre Textiles and Technical Textiles, is actively collaborating with industry stakeholders and the Ministry of Textiles to: - Identify priority export products, - Support compliance with UK regulatory and sustainability standards, and - Facilitate buyer-seller linkages and certification support. Bhadresh Dodhia further advised exporters that "Until the agreement is fully implemented, Indian Technical Textile exporters should proactively study UK market requirements, technical standards, and sustainability norms to better position themselves and maximize the benefits of the CETA."

What idea is the long short ratio giving right now, especially where we see Nifty going down? Which sectors are you currently focusing on? Any stocks looking well-placed within these sectors? TVS Motors has witnessed a long buildup with a breakout as well with an increase in volumes, so it's a price-volume and Open Interest breakout. The short-term target will be 3200/3350, with a stop loss of 2800. Heromotocorp has seen some consolidation prior to the upward breakout and with this breakout, there has been an increase in volumes and OI, clearly indicating a price volume and OI breakout. Thus, long positions can be initiated for the targets of 4700 and 4900 with a stop loss of 4350. Tata Consumer looks positive for the targets of 1150 and 1200 stop loss of 990. There has been short covering in the near term, which can lead to a breakout on the upside. Godrej CP has been consolidating within a range of 1150 to 1300, and the previous up move had come on account of short covering. Once this consolidation is over, the breakout is likely on the upside as there is some more short covering already witnessed and the sector seems positive in the near term Indian equities ended Monday's session in positive territory, with buying interest seen across IT and metal sectors. The broader market sentiment was lifted by rising expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve may initiate interest rate cuts in the coming months, which provided a tailwind for risk assets rate cut hopes helped investors look past concerns about potential trade tensions, particularly the possibility of the United States imposing new tariffs on Indian exports. The optimism around easing monetary policy in the U.S. offered a cushion against global uncertainty and supported gains across key BSE Sensex rose 418.81 points, or 0.52%, to close at 81,018.72, while the NSE Nifty added 157.40 points, or 0.64%, to end at 24, this, analyst Jay Thakkar, Head Derivative and Quant Research at ICICI Securities interacted with ET Markets regarding the outlook on Nifty and Bank Nifty for the week ahead. Following are the edited excerpts from his chat:Markets did react negatively since there was no US-INDIA trade deal, however, once the deal happens may be in August or September thereafter the fear or downside risk will may face resistance in the range of 25100-25300 levels; however, since it has been closing in the negative territory for the last 5 weeks, some bounce back can't be ruled out. The crucial support on the lower side is 24000, hence the range for the next week is 24000 to 25300 levels. The IVs had fallen below 10 and the IVP and IVR had fallen to as low as 0.40 each which is an extreme level and from these levels usually there is a bounce in IVs due to which maximum of the time, we see correction in the markets which so far, we have witnessed. This also indicates volatile sessions ahead until the rise in IVs cools off, so the overall trend in the market seems to be volatile within which there will be some bounce back as well but that will witness selling pressure i.e. it will get sold into until the IVs don't cool off Nifty, like that of Nifty, has clearly reversed it trend from up to down and now the range for the Bank Nifty for this week is 55000 to 56,500 levels. Since, the IVs of BankNifty is also low so there will be volatility going ahead this week as well and at the same the Indices are quite oversold so a bounce back cant be ruled out, hence there will be both the sides movements this this volatile scenario, the traders should not carry any naked derivatives positions; they need to hedge or create wings in order to reduce the overnight risk. Mainly, when the IVs are expected to rise, the long options strategies like long iron condor and long iron butterfly have a higher probability of Nifty rollover has been less than the last 3 months and 6 months average, which are 78.11% and 78.85% respectively. The rollover into the August series has been 75.71% which is less than the long short ratio now stands at 8.5% long, which is quite oversold, and in most cases, there is a bounce back from this level, so some short covering cannot be ruled out from these auto Index looks positive and the same is supported well with the Monthly auto sales numbers. Further, the Nifty FMCG Index looks positive as overall the results have been better relatively and there has been short covering as looking better in these sectors are as follows(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
