Jaiprakash Power surges on solar project plans

Jaiprakash Power Ventures rose 4.98% to Rs 18.96 after the company's board announced plans to explore the setting up of a solar PV power plant at its Bina facility in Madhya Pradesh.

In a meeting held on 27 August 2025, the board considered a proposal for establishing a 50 MW solar PV project at the company?s existing 500 MW Jaypee Bina Thermal Power Plant.
