Jupiter Wagons shares surged as much as 4.48% to an intraday high of Rs 268.95 on Tuesday, following the company’s announcement of a series of major order wins across freight wagons and battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The latest developments have strengthened investor sentiment around Jupiter Wagons as the company continues to expand its presence across India’s freight mobility and energy-storage markets.

Rs 211 crore Wagon Orders from JSW Group, OASPL

Jupiter Wagons Limited secured two orders worth a combined Rs 211.27 crore, including GST, from JSW Port Logistics Private Limited and Orissa Alloy Steel Private Limited (OASPL).

The company signed a Rs 147.11 crore Letter of Intent (LoI) with JSW Port Logistics for the manufacture and supply of 7 BOSM rakes comprising 329 wagons.

This latest order marks Jupiter Wagons’ second order from the JSW Group in just six weeks. Earlier in June 2026, the company received a Rs 122.88 crore order from JSW (South) Rail Logistics Private Limited.
With the latest win, Jupiter Wagons’ cumulative order intake from the JSW Group has climbed to approximately Rs 270 crore in less than two months, highlighting the group’s continued confidence in the company’s manufacturing and execution capabilities.In a separate order, OASPL placed a purchase order worth Rs 64.16 crore for the manufacture and supply of 150 wagons under the LSFTO Scheme.

Together, the two orders are expected to further strengthen Jupiter Wagons’ order book and capitalize on the rising demand for modern freight transportation solutions from industrial and logistics players.

BESS Business adds another Rs 400 crore opportunity

Adding another layer to the stock’s positive news flow, Jupiter Wagons has also emerged as the successful bidder for two standalone Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects with a combined capacity of 100 MW/400 MWh in West Bengal.

The projects, located at Jeerat and Kharagpur, were awarded by West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (WBSEDCL) through e-reverse auctions under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) route.

The projects will be executed and operated through Jupiter Electric Mobility (JEM), a subsidiary of Jupiter Wagons.

The BESS projects involve an estimated Rs 400 crore investment/order opportunity and will operate under a 15-year Build-Own-Operate (BOO) model with WBSEDCL. This long-term arrangement is expected to provide greater revenue visibility while expanding Jupiter Wagons’ footprint in India’s rapidly developing energy-storage market.

Following the latest wins, JEM’s BESS order book has increased to approximately 500 MWh, valued at more than Rs 500 crore.

The company is targeting a BESS order book of around Rs 1,000 crore by FY27, reflecting its ambitions to build a sizeable presence in India’s emerging energy-storage industry.

Jupiter Wagons Share Price: Technical View

Jupiter Wagons shares rallied 4.48% to Rs 268.95 during Tuesday’s session on the NSE. Despite the sharp move, the stock remains well below its 52-week high of Rs 372.85.

At current levels, the company commands a market capitalisation of around Rs 11,000 crore.

On the technical front, the stock’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 48.5, indicating that the stock is neither in the oversold nor overbought zone. Typically, an RSI below 30 is considered oversold, while a reading above 70 indicates overbought conditions.

The stock is currently trading above five out of eight key Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), indicating a relatively constructive technical setup.

It would have been about 25 minutes’ drive from the South West transport hub

Plans to establish a long-stay car park for Bristol Airport passengers on the fringes of the Mendip Hills in Somerset have been rejected on appeal. Jane Vosper submitted an application in December 2025 to develop the car park near the Badgworth Arena, just outside Axbridge and around 25 minutes’ drive from the airport.

Somerset Council turned down the planning application in late March, contending that it would “give rise to significant and harmful levels of noise”, severely impacting the quality of life of local residents.

The Planning Inspectorate has since upheld the council’s ruling, with inspector Juliet Rogers concluding that residents were “likely to experience disturbance to an unacceptable level”.

The proposed car park would have been based at the entrance to the Badgworth Arena on Badgworth Lane, on hardstanding land adjacent to Beech Tree Farm.

The development would have comprised 19 spaces – of which 15 would have been standard long-stay bays and 4 would have been electric vehicle charging points.

Ms Vosper said the car park’s prospective operator would have provided a shuttle service between the site and the airport, with the charging points partly utilised to power these shuttle vehicles, thereby cutting carbon emissions.

A spokesperson for the family said: “Our clients would not be looking to expand the facility any larger than the proposed 15 spaces, as their calculations suggest that if they maintained a 50 per cent occupancy level for cars across the year, the income generated would be sufficient to support the ongoing viability of Badgworth Arena.”

Ms Rogers visited the site in June and published her final ruling before the council’s planning committee north (which handles major applications within the former Sedgemoor area) convened in Bridgwater on Tuesday afternoon (August 11).

Drawing on current flight schedules from the airport, she concluded that the proposal would generate considerable noise in the early hours of the morning, potentially disturbing the sleep of neighbouring residents.

She said: “The evidence before me indicates that flights to and from Bristol Airport commence at 6am, with the last arrivals just before 1am.

“This would result in passengers needing to arrive at the site any time from 2am to allow for a 30-minute journey time to the airport for arrival, up to three hours ahead of departure (in the case of international, non-European flights).

“Passengers returning and arriving at the airport at around 1am would be unlikely to return to their vehicle before 2am depending upon the efficiency in the airport arrival procedures.

“Therefore, the proposal could result in noise associated with comings and goings at any time during a 24-hour period.

“At night, as the noise from the proposed use would be accentuated by the absence of other background noise, existing occupiers would be likely to experience disturbance to an unacceptable level.”

Ms Rogers noted that this impact “would be heightened” during the summer months, when demand for the facility was expected to peak and many local residents would have their windows open.

She further stated: “Such a disturbance can have a significant effect on quality of life, particularly sleep, and can lead to chronic health effects.

“While the appellant has confirmed that bookings will be ‘cherry-picked and coordinated to avoid early-morning and late-evening flights (as well as same sex groups of passengers), it is unclear how this will be achieved or managed..

“In addition, as acknowledged by the appellant, this could not be enforced and there would be nothing to prevent a future owner accepting such bookings.”

Badgworth Arena typically hosts around two events per week at its equestrian centre, with approximately 40 lorries or horse boxes attending each occasion.

Ms Rogers argued this usage “does not justify the increase in night-time activity”, asserting that light spill from the headlights of turning vehicles would “significantly affect the perception of tranquillity in the area”.

She concluded: “The proposal would harm the living conditions of existing occupiers of nearby properties, and would result in unacceptable noise and disturbance impacts.”

Shares of Oil India jumped over 5% to Rs 478.80 apiece on the BSE on Tuesday after multiple brokerages turned bullish on the stock. Domestic brokerage firm Emkay Global upgraded the Indian PSU company’s rating to Buy, from Add, retaining the target price of Rs 575.

Elara Capital maintained its Buy rating on the stock, on higher production guidance and improving gas evacuation visibility, with a target price of Rs 672, implying an upside of 48%. Nomura and Motilal Oswal retained their neutral rating, with a target price of Rs 500 and Rs 485, respectively.

The bullish ratings from the brokers come in the backdrop of strong earnings reported by the company for Q1.

Oil India registered its highest-ever standalone profit after tax at Rs 2,870 crore in Q1FY27 as compared to Rs 813 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, with a 2.5 times YoY growth, supported by 11% growth in crude oil production and crude oil price realisation of $98.73/bbl in Q1FY27.

Oil India’s material subsidiary Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) achieved a 167% growth in PAT, rising to Rs 1,305 crore in Q1FY27 from Rs 488 crore in Q1FY26, with a GRM of $35.95/bbl and Distillate Yield of 87.58%.

Why Emkay Global upgraded to Buy

In terms of natural gas production, evacuation bottlenecks are expected to ease by CY27-end, enabling 3.5-4mmscmd of incremental volumes from Q1 CY28, while expansion of its subsidiary (NRL) would add ~1.5 mmscmd by Q3 FY28, according to the brokerage.
NRL reported robust GRMs despite windfall taxes and lower excise duty, the brokerage stated in its report. The expansion is on track for completion by Mar-27, with utilisation to ramp up to 75% by FY28-end. Oil India targets 100 wells in FY27, with drilling to rise 10% annually, with increasing focus on deepwater.The brokerage factors in $85/80 crude in FY27/28E, as material decline in crude prices remains a key risk.

The Crude Factor

Crude remains the earnings engine according to Elara Capital, as crude realisation rose 49% year-on-year (YoY) to $99/bbl, and crude output rose 11% YoY to 0.95MMT, 2% ahead of the brokerage’s estimate. Management indicated crude output could reach at least ~3.9 -4.0MMT in FY27, providing potential upside if the current production run-rate sustains. The brokerage expects gas infrastructure to drive future volume, along with NRL capacity expansion.

What other brokerages said

Implying a 10.4% upside, Nomura expects a softer oil price outlook over the medium to long term. The brokerage raised its FY27F/28F standalone EBITDA estimates by 6%/5%, as it increased its crude oil production volume estimates by ~6%, while realizations are also revised up slightly. The brokerage raised GRM estimates for NRL as the refining upcycle might last longer than it had earlier expected, and continues to expect excise duty cuts of Rs 10/litre taken in March 2026 to be rolled back by the end of FY27F, which should benefit NRL’s earnings (NRL gets back 50% excise duty on petrol and diesel) from FY28F onwards. Nomura expects a gradual ramp-up of NRL refining throughput to 7.8mn tons (87% utilisation) by FY29F.

Over the past few quarters, Oil India has struggled to ramp up production/sales, with limited YoY growth, according to Motilal Oswal. Increased exploration intensity (which is key to building a robust development pipeline) is likely to be accompanied by higher dry-well write-offs, which could weigh on earnings, the brokerage stated in its note.

The benefits of a higher proportion of gas from new wells are likely to be largely offset by subdued gas realizations amid a weaker crude oil price outlook, it further added. The NRL refinery segment is expected to achieve 75% capacity utilization by FY28’end. Motilal Oswal models a 5.4%/8.1% CAGR for oil and gas production volumes over FY26-28.
