Reliance Power shares surged by 5%, hitting the upper circuit limit at ₹41.09 on December 4, 2024, following the withdrawal of a debarment notice by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). This marks a significant turning point for the company, which had been embroiled in controversy due to allegations of submitting fake documents.

The SECI Issue and Resolution

On November 6, 2024, SECI, which is responsible for implementing renewable energy projects, had debarred Reliance Power and its subsidiary Reliance NU BESS from participating in its tenders for three years. The debarment stemmed from accusations that they had submitted fake documents, including a bank guarantee. However, on December 3, 2024, Reliance Power announced in an exchange filing that SECI had withdrawn the debarment notice with immediate effect.

The withdrawal of the notice allows Reliance Power and most of its subsidiaries to resume participation in SECI tenders, although Reliance NU BESS (formerly known as Maharashtra Energy Generation) remains excluded. The filing clarified that the withdrawal followed legal proceedings but did not rule out the possibility of further actions by SECI if necessary.

Impact on Stock and Financial Performance

The announcement of the debarment withdrawal led to a significant spike in Reliance Power's share price, which hit the upper circuit on December 4, 2024. The stock had previously seen a downward trend in the past two months, with a 12% drop in October and 9% in November. However, year-to-date, Reliance Power has gained 72%, significantly outperforming the Nifty 50, which rose just 13% in the same period.

Q2FY25 Financial Results

In its Q2FY25 earnings report, Reliance Power reported a consolidated net profit of ₹2,878.2 crore, marking a remarkable turnaround from a net loss of ₹237.76 crore in the same quarter the previous year. However, the company did see a slight decline in its total income, which fell to ₹1,962.77 crore from ₹2,116.37 crore in Q2FY24. Despite the dip in income, the strong profit growth signals a positive shift in the company’s financial health.

Conclusion

The 5% surge in Reliance Power’s shares reflects the market's relief and renewed confidence following SECI’s withdrawal of the debarment notice. While the company still faces challenges, particularly with its subsidiary Reliance NU BESS, the resolution of the SECI issue has reinvigorated investor sentiment. Additionally, Reliance Power's strong profit performance in Q2FY25 underscores its recovery and potential for future growth in the renewable energy sector.
