The company operates India&#8217;s first private-sector ultra-super-critical thermal power plant (GMR Kamalanga Energy) alongside an energy segment with 1,679.35 MW gross capacity, four operational road projects covering 349.48 km and the Krishnagiri Special Investment Region (SIR) with 1,032 acres of industrial land.<\/p><p>GMR Power acquired a 29.14 percent equity stake in GMR Energy Limited, deepening its renewable energy footprint alongside the core thermal and roads portfolio.

Q4 FY26 delivered a landmark: Ola Electric&#8217;s first-ever cash-flow positive quarter, with gross margin of 38.5 percent &#8211; the highest in its history and 424 basis points better than Q3 FY26. The FY26 shareholder letter cited 38.5 percent Q4 gross margin, first cash-flow positive quarter and Gigafactory scaling to 6 GWh as the three structural milestones.<\/p><p>There is a sharp divergence between the operational story and the stock price reaction. Q4 FY26 revenue of Rs 265 crore fell 56.6 percent year on year due to a steep 61 percent decline in vehicle deliveries and 10 percent lower average selling prices &#8211; leading multiple brokerages (Citi: Sell, target Rs 26; Emkay: Sell) to maintain cautious ratings citing weak volume recovery and high fixed costs. The counter-argument: Q1 FY27 registrations have already surpassed Q4 FY26 volumes per company disclosures, suggesting the volume trough was Q4 FY26 itself. FY26 total deliveries were 173,794 vehicles at Rs 2,253 crore full-year revenue. The Gigafactory at 2.5 GWh operational (targeting 6 GWh) gives Ola Electric a unique cost advantage as cell manufacturing ramps. At Rs 39.24, the stock is 66 percent above its 52-week low of Rs 22.25 &#8211; showing the floor has been established.

FY26 EPS was Rs 1.89 with PE of 36.20 times. PB of 1.24 times is attractive given the bank&#8217;s retail lending growth trajectory and 98.7 percent digital transaction mix. The bank&#8217;s Q4 FY26 earnings call was held on 26 April 2026. Key concerns: ROE remains low at approximately 5.64 percent over the past three years as the bank invests heavily in branch network and product expansion. Key positives: NIM remains strong at approximately 5.6 percent, and the digital-first infrastructure (FASTag, credit cards, mobile banking) gives it recurring fee income lines that most small private banks lack.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Entry Zone: <\/strong>Rs 68 to Rs 72<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Target: <\/strong>Rs 80 to Rs 84 (1 to 2 months)<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Stop-Loss: <\/strong>Rs 63 weekly close<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Catalyst: <\/strong>Weekly F&amp;O expiry TODAY (shifted from 28 May holiday). 18.4% below 52W high.

Pre-IPO anchor investor Vikas Vijaykumar Khemani invested Rs 14.94 crore at Rs 343 &#8211; the issue price itself &#8211; providing strong institutional validation at the upper band. FY25 revenue was Rs 322.58 crore. For allottees: a GMP of Rs 102 on a 987 percent subscribed SME IPO with institutional anchor validation is among the most compelling listing setups of 2026. Watch the opening price at 10 AM on NSE SME. If the stock opens above Rs 430 and holds, the 30-percent-plus listing gain is intact. If it opens below Rs 380, reassess before deciding.
