Trading strategy
With price currently hovering near Rs 249.35, the uptrend remains intact as long as it holds above the Rs 245–246 zone, Mishra said, adding that a decisive breakout above Rs 251 could pave the way towards Rs 258–260 in the short term.
Traders may consider a buy-on-dips strategy near Rs 248 with a stop-loss at Rs 244, targeting Rs 258, the Religare analyst recommended.

Allcargo Terminals to raise Rs 38.28 cr through issuance of 1.32 cr fully convertible warrants
Multimodal logistics operator Allcargo Terminals Ltd (ATL) on Tuesday said it plans to raise Rs 38.28 crore through the issuance of up to 1.32 crore fully convertible warrants to the promoters/promoter group. ADVERTISEMENT The proposed fundraise, which will kickstart ATL's three-year expansion plans, will be utilised for building capacity and setting up new container freight stations (CFS) and inland container depots (ICDs), the company said. An Allcargo group firm, ATL, specializes in CFS and ICD with pan-India presence, serving diverse logistical requirements at strategic locations such as JNPT, Mundra, Chennai, and Kolkata. "The Board of Directors of ATL has approved the preferential allotment in its meeting held on July 15, 2025," Allcargo Terminals said. "As India's logistics sector undergoes structural transformation, ATL is well positioned to scale up operational capacity while remaining capital-efficient and growth-focussed, creating sustainable value for all stakeholders," said Shashi Kiran Shetty, Founder and Chairman, Allcargo Group. Each warrant has a face value of Rs 2 per share, will be issued at an issue price of Rs 29 per warrant with a premium of Rs 27 per warrant, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, it stated. ADVERTISEMENT This issuance accounts for approximately 5 per cent of ATL's post-conversion equity share capital and is priced at around 1 per cent premium to the SEBI-defined floor price, as per the company. ATL said its current capacity stands at 8.3-lakh TEUs annually across seven facilities in five hubs that handle approximately 80 per cent of India's EXIM trade. ADVERTISEMENT ATL plans to augment its capacity to over 13-lakh in the coming three years -- by expanding some of its key facilities and by developing new CFS/ICD facilities, the company said. This strategic move is in line with ATL's long-term growth roadmap and will support the company's multi-location infrastructure expansion at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, Greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities, ATL said. ADVERTISEMENT Currently operating at 80-85 per cent capacity utilisation, the expansion plans will enable the company to cater to future demand and consolidate its leading position in key logistics corridors, the company said. "This expansion comes at a time when our core facilities are operating near full capacity. The proposed expansion in Mundra and Nhava Sheva, greenfield ICD at Farukhnagar and infra upgrades at existing facilities are aligned to strengthen our multimodal footprint," said Suresh Kumar R, Managing Director, Allcargo Terminals Ltd.

Pumped storage policy to boost green energy investment in state
Patna: The state cabinet on Tuesday approved the Bihar Pumped Storage Promotion Policy, 2025, which marks a major milestone in Bihar's renewable energy journey, aiming to attract clean energy investments and develop long-term energy storage solutions. In comparison to other states, Bihar policy offers more investor-friendly incentives. Developers will be exempted from water cess during the initial reservoir filling. They will also receive concessions on intra-state power transmission charges. Moreover, no contribution will be required towards Local Area Development Fund, and the state will not demand any free royalty power from these projects, making Bihar one of the most attractive destinations for pumped storage investment in India. Under the new policy, the govt will facilitate early identification and allocation of non-forest land for such projects. District administrations and BIADA have been instructed to expedite proposals for land allocation. A dedicated single-window clearance system is also being developed by energy department to streamline approvals and provide timely support to investors. Private players will be encouraged to set up projects under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said in the National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2022-32 of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), energy storage is essential to incorporate the excess renewable energy into the grid. "Keeping in mind the resolution of net-zero carbon emission by 2070, the Bihar govt is committed to sustainable energy development," he said. The policy will help balance the intermittency of renewable resources like solar and wind. This is especially crucial for a growing economy like Bihar, where ensuring round-the-clock power supply through clean sources is key to inclusive development. Energy minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav said this policy will further position Bihar as a frontrunner in India's green energy transition. "It will unlock new avenues for investment, innovation, and employment," he said. Mahendra Kumar, the managing director of of Bihar State Power Generation Company Limited, termed the policy a game changer. "It will not only accelerate energy sector growth but also establish Bihar as a self-reliant and environmentally responsible state," he said.
