JSW Energy shares rally over 7% in 2 days. Here's why
Shares of JSW Energy rose for a second straight session on Tuesday, gaining 7.1% over two days, after the company commissioned a key hydro unit and posted strong quarterly earnings. The stock climbed as much as 1.9% during the session to hit an intraday high of Rs 548.05 on the BSE. Investor interest was buoyed by the commissioning of the first 80 MW unit of JSW Energy's 240 MW Kutehr Hydro Electric Project in Himachal Pradesh. In an exchange filing, the company said, 'The company has successfully commissioned one 80 MW unit of the 240 MW Kutehr Hydro Electric Project (KHEP) and commenced supply of power under the 240 MW Power Purchase Agreement with Haryana Power Purchase Centre.'

The commissioning activity for the third unit of 80 MW of the 240 MW KHEP is under progress,' the filing added. The commissioning comes on the heels of a strong earnings report last week. For the April–June 2025 quarter, JSW Energy reported a 42.4% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 743 crore, driven by a sharp scale-up in both renewable and thermal generation . Revenue surged 78.6% YoY to Rs 5,143 crore during Q1 FY26, while EBITDA nearly doubled to Rs 2,789 crore during the quarter, up 96.8% from a year earlier. Operating margins improved to 54.2% from 49.2% in the same period last year. Live Events The company commissioned 1,893 MW of capacity during the quarter, including 1,343 MW from the acquisition of Mytrah Energy (now O2 Power) and 550 MW from organic renewable additions. Its total installed capacity rose 70% YoY to 12,768 MW. Q1 an 'inflection point' Sharad Mahendra, Joint MD & CEO, described the June quarter as an 'inflection point,' citing 'disciplined investments, improved earnings quality, and capacity under long-term agreements.' Thermal generation at the Vijayanagar plant surged 124% YoY, supported by new captive power purchase agreements (PPAs). JSW Energy signed 605 MW of new PPAs during the quarter and an additional 450 MW post-quarter. The company closed the quarter with 13 GW under construction and a total locked-in capacity of 30.3 GW. It aims to scale up to 30 GW of generation and 40 GWh of energy storage by FY2030. Stock performance and technical outlook Despite the recent rally, shares of JSW Energy remain down 15.4% so far in 2025 and have declined 20.4% over the past 12 months. The stock is up 6.4% over the last month. From a technical perspective, the stock is currently trading above seven of its eight key simple moving averages (SMA), including the 5-day through 150-day SMAs, but remains below its 200-day SMA. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 59.3, indicating the stock is neither overbought nor oversold. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is at 2.3, above the centre line but below the signal line.

Trump's tactics a negotiation play, not a policy shift: Richard Redoglia
"You may see IOC and other state-owned refiners scale back their Russian imports. But the bigger picture is that Trump is juggling many priorities at once. In this case, I believe he's applying pressure on Russia through India," says Richard Redoglia , CEO, Matrix Global Holdings . What is your own sense? While we do not have any benchmark for where this is ultimately headed, India's response so far has been very pragmatic, one must say. Richard Redoglia: Very pragmatic indeed. India needs to import oil—that's its necessity. Its job is to ensure a stable energy supply for its people. The largest refinery, Reliance, is a privately held company. So, it will import oil from any source it can. Russian oil has been available at a discount, and the specific type of oil it imports is important to its output.

What your previous two guests said is quite interesting: first, the stock market has closed at record highs; second, the EU felt taken to the cleaners on the last deal. So, we're in a situation where I believe this is more about negotiation—using India, and I mean this respectfully, as a pawn in Trump's broader efforts to end the war in Ukraine. That's what we're seeing here. You may see IOC and other state-owned refiners scale back their Russian imports. But the bigger picture is that Trump is juggling many priorities at once. In this case, I believe he's applying pressure on Russia through India. Given the growing threats from Donald Trump, if they actually materialize, do you believe global investors might start repricing geopolitical risk in India and other emerging markets? And how could that impact India's overall trade with the West? Richard Redoglia: A very good point was made earlier. I think India will stand its ground for the time being. I don't see any immediate change. Again, I'll emphasize that Trump is negotiating in real time. He tweets in real time. Live Events I believe—unless I'm mistaken—I saw a report that IOC announced it would reduce Russian oil imports temporarily. Remember, oil shipments from Russia take about 35 days to arrive, whereas oil from the Middle East takes just 10 to 15 days. There's also excess capacity in the Middle East, which is a key factor here. So, the issue isn't just about Russian oil. The global oil market is dealing with overcapacity, which puts downward pressure on prices. When you talk about repricing risk and evaluating India, I'd say—perhaps I'm wrong—but this feels like a flash in the pan. It's likely to pass in a few weeks. Just recently, Iran was attacked. That's already in the rearview mirror. Oil was at $78 then, and now it's trading around $65–66. Markets recover quickly. They are efficient at repricing, especially in commodities. The fact that the U.S. stock market is at all-time highs and the oil market appears to be in balance suggests that what we're witnessing now is simply a negotiation. That's the lens through which we should view it. Having lived in New York for 20 years while Donald Trump was a real estate developer, I've learned to take what he says with a grain of salt. And increasingly, the market is doing the same. The bigger question is: where do you see the dollar heading? Because that, in itself, could dictate global capital flows . Do you think portfolios are now easing out of U.S. exposure? Richard Redoglia: That's a fair point. But again, when stock markets are hitting record highs, how much does the dollar really matter? The dollar is likely to weaken. The latest employment report showed some softness, which suggests we may see a rate cut in September, and possibly another by year-end. So yes, the dollar may face pressure. But isn't this part of a broader picture? Isn't this a larger re-evaluation of how the market perceives everything? Trump's goal—at least what he says—is free trade. He's putting tariffs in place to draw people into the U.S. market, but the broader aim seems to be enhancing the ability for global transactions. That's the underlying intent. As for the dollar—and this might sound controversial—I'd say it doesn't matter much right now. Oil prices are in balance. What matters more is that Trump appears to be negotiating for peace in various parts of the world. That, in my view, should be the key focus for the markets.

'This day that year': Amid Trump tariff heat, Army recalls 1971 war; news clip shows how US helped Pakistan
NEW DELHI: As tensions flared between Washington and New Delhi over India's Russian oil imports, the Indian Army on Monday posted a pointed reminder of history—highlighting how the United States once backed Pakistan during the 1971 war. In a social media post titled 'This Day That Year – Build Up of War – 05 Aug 1971 #KnowFacts', the Army shared an old newspaper clipping with the caption: 'US ARMS WORTH $2 BILLION SHIPPED TO PAKISTAN SINCE '54.' The post came a day after India pushed back strongly against Trump's threat of higher tariffs over its energy ties with Russia, calling the criticism from the US and EU 'unjustified and unreasonable.' — easterncomd (@easterncomd) 'India has been targeted by the United States and the European Union for importing oil from Russia after the commencement of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict,' the MEA said. The statement highlighted that the US had initially 'actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy market stability.' The post came as President Donald Trump sharply criticised India's oil trade with Russia and warned of significantly higher tariffs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo New Delhi also pointed to Western double standards. While criticising India, both the US and the EU continue to engage in large-scale trade with Russia, it noted. In 2024, the EU's LNG imports from Russia reached a record 16.5 million tonnes. Its total trade in goods with Russia stood at €67.5 billion, with services worth €17.2 billion in 2023 — far exceeding India's total trade with Moscow. Similarly, the US continues to import Russian uranium hexafluoride, palladium, fertilisers, and chemicals. India said its energy imports are dictated by national interest and market realities. 'Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security,' the MEA said. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, had claimed India is 'buying massive amounts of Russian oil' and 'selling it on the open market for big profits,' adding, 'They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine.'
