percent decline, even after a headline order value of Rs 3,870 crore, illustrates a pattern seen elsewhere in the market: the aggregate consideration spread over a 15-year contract term is a very different figure from near-term revenue, and investors appear to be discounting the long-dated nature of the cash flows rather than reacting to the full headline number.<\/p>\n<p>Trading volumes were up 79.46 percent over the five-day average, suggesting the decline reflects genuine, informed selling rather than a thin, low-conviction move, possibly tied to profit booking after a prior run-up in the stock ahead of the contract announcement becoming public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Screen Renewable Energy and Storage Stocks on
