Why JP Power Shares Surge 8% to Hit a One-Year High?

Shares of Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd (JP Power) jumped almost 8% on Friday, hitting a new 52-week high of Rs 24.86 on the NSE. The sharp rise has caught the attention of retail investors and market analysts, who are now closely watching what’s driving the rally. 

AGM and deal buzz 

Investor confidence improved after JP Power’s Annual General Meeting on July 5, where key proposals were approved without issues. Adding to the positive mood is fresh speculation that the Adani Group may acquire Jaiprakash Associates, which owns around 24% of JP Power. According to market analysts, any movement on this front is being viewed as a potential game-changer.

While neither side has confirmed anything officially, the rumours alone have pushed the stock higher—mainly driven by retail investors hoping for consolidation in the power and infrastructure sector.
