Lacklustre trend in power stocks keeps index flat w-o-w
26 Apr 2016
The previous week was a non-event for the power sector as a whole.
Stocks like Crompton Greaves and CESC registered 7-8% returns whereas Adani Power and Alstom T&D lost 6%. Hence, it was a mixed trend for the power sector.
Here it can be mentioned that, in the previous year, Adani Power and Alstom T&D were the top performers in the power domain.
Currently, traders are sceptical because of an uncertain coal policy and the e-auction policy of Coal India. However the market is waiting for any direction in the power sector.
