NHPC has been in firm focus with updates regarding the company commissioning several long delayed projects with cost overruns and also how the Government has now taken over two of its projects. At the same time, it has embarked on an asset securitization drive to mop up another ₹2,000 crore, as per reports. Now, the share prices have closed today (8th April) at ₹83.58, which is 0.73% lower than the opening price of ₹84.20. Very interestingly, the latter was higher than yesterday’s closing price by 1.44%, and the closing price on 7th April was also considerably higher than the opening price for the date.

NHPC share prices seem to have reversed the downward slump witnessed at the start of trading yesterday, by opening at ₹84.20 today, which is about 1.44% more than the closing price of ₹83 on 7th April. This continues the recovery witnessed after it initially opened 8.37% lower than 4th April ‘s closing price of ₹83.49 at ₹76.50. Thereafter, it recovered to ₹81.57 by midday and finally closed at ₹83 which was around 8.49% more than the opening figures. 

With the Government taking over two of its projects, its new asset securitization drive to raise another ₹2,000 crore in funds, and updates of the company commissioning long delayed projects with cost overruns, will the momentum sustain?
