STOCKS IN NEWS

Shares of realty firm Puravankara surged over 10 percent on April 13 after the company reported strong Q4 business updates. The company reported Q4FY26 sales of Rs 3,547 crore, compared to Rs 1,225 crore a year ago, marking a 190 percent jump. For the full year FY26, total sales stood at Rs 7,407 crore, up 55 percent year-on-year.
Swiggy
Shares of food delivery company Swiggy dropped 3.44 percent on Monday. The decline came amid renewed tensions in West Asia and uncertainty over the opening of the Strait of Hormuz following inconclusive Iran-US peace talks, which led to a surge in crude oil prices. Higher fuel costs can raise logistics and delivery expenses, while elevated input costs for restaurants may weigh on margins, impacting related stocks.
Ather Energy
Shares of EV player Ather Energy ended over 5 percent higher on Monday, April 13 after the Delhi government unveiled the draft Electric Vehicle (EV) Policy 2026-2030. The move is expected to impact a large section of commuters and gig workers, as two-wheelers account for a significant share of Delhi’s vehicle base and are among the biggest contributors to vehicular pollution.
Voltas
Shares of air-conditioning and power utility company Voltas hiked almost 4 percent higher on Monday, as forecasts of a sharp rise in temperatures across India boosted expectations of strong summer demand.
Adani Enterprises
Shares of Adani Enterprises gained over 2 percent in Monday’s trade after the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) adjourned the hearing on petitions filed by Vedanta against the company’s bid for Jaiprakash Associates.
