Wednesday, 29 January 2026: Decline Accelerates on Rising Volume
The stock fell 1.68% to Rs.2.92 on 29 January, marking a sharper decline amid increased trading volume of 135,859 shares. This drop contrasted with the Sensex’s modest 0.22% gain to 36,266.59, highlighting the stock’s underperformance relative to the broader market.

Thursday, 30 January 2026: Stock Hits 52-Week Low and Triggers Lower Circuit
On the final trading day of the week, GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd’s shares plunged to a fresh 52-week low of Rs.2.87, triggering the lower circuit limit and halting further declines. The stock closed at Rs.2.89 after hitting the intraday low, representing a 1.03% loss from the previous close. Trading volume surged to 161,731 shares, with a turnover of approximately Rs.0.039 crore. This intense selling pressure reflected panic among investors and an imbalance between supply and demand in a thinly traded market.
Technically, the stock remains below all key moving averages — 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day — underscoring sustained bearish momentum. The broader market was weaker on the day, with the Sensex falling 0.22% to 36,185.03, while the construction sector declined 0.39%. Despite the marginally better one-day return compared to the sector and Sensex, the triggering of the lower circuit is a stark indicator of acute selling pressure specific to GVK Power & Infrastructure.

Financial and Technical Challenges Weigh on Stock
GVK Power & Infrastructure Ltd’s ongoing financial difficulties are reflected in its deteriorated fundamentals and technical weakness. The company’s Mojo Score stands at 3.0 with a Strong Sell grade, upgraded from Sell in February 2024, signalling heightened caution. The stock trades below all major moving averages, indicating persistent bearish momentum without signs of near-term reversal.
Fundamentally, the company faces significant headwinds. Its net sales have contracted sharply by 86.90% over the latest six months, while operating profit remains stagnant. The operating cash flow is low at Rs.598.56 crore, and the operating profit to interest ratio is an extreme negative figure, highlighting financial strain. The company’s book value is negative, further underscoring weak long-term fundamentals.
Despite a 315.2% rise in profits over the past year, the PEG ratio remains zero, reflecting a disconnect between earnings growth and stock valuation. The company has reported negative results for the last three consecutive quarters, with negative EBITDA, adding to the risk profile. Its market capitalisation is approximately Rs.461 crore, classifying it as a micro-cap stock vulnerable to liquidity constraints and market swings.
