27 January 2026: Weak Start Amid Market Gains

Indowind Energy began the week on a subdued note, closing at Rs.13.88, down 2.60% from the previous close. This decline contrasted with the Sensex’s 0.50% gain to 35,786.84 points, signalling early signs of divergence. The stock’s volume was modest at 9,693 shares, indicating limited buying interest despite the broader market rally.

28 January 2026: Shares Hit 52-Week Low as Sector Outperforms

The stock slipped further to Rs.13.50, a 2.74% drop, and touched a fresh 52-week low of Rs.13.14 during the day. This decline occurred even as the Sensex surged 1.12% to 36,188.16 points and the power sector gained 2.07%, underscoring Indowind’s relative weakness. The stock traded below all key moving averages, reflecting sustained bearish technical momentum.

Financially, the company’s challenges were evident with a low average return on equity (ROE) of 1.20% and a sharp 66.12% decline in profit after tax (PAT) for the nine months ended September 2025, which stood at Rs.2.26 crore. Interest expenses ballooned to Rs.2.38 crore quarterly, exacerbating profitability pressures. Additionally, promoter share pledging rose to 28.58%, raising concerns about potential forced selling.

29 January 2026: Continued Downtrend and Disappointing Q3 Results

Indowind Energy’s shares plunged to Rs.12.38, down 8.30% on the day, marking another 52-week low at Rs.12.86 intra-day. This steep fall outpaced the Sensex’s modest 0.22% gain to 36,266.59 points and lagged the power sector by 5.44%. The stock’s three-day cumulative loss reached 9.75%, reflecting persistent selling pressure.

Operationally, the company reported mounting losses in Q3 FY26. Profit before tax (excluding other income) fell sharply to a loss of Rs.1.62 crore, a 305.00% decline from the prior period, while net profit after tax plunged 6,350.0% to a loss of Rs.1.25 crore. Interest expenses remained elevated, increasing by 237,999,900% quarterly to Rs.2.38 crore. Despite these setbacks, the company’s operating profit has grown at an annualised rate of 31.81%, suggesting some underlying operational resilience.

30 January 2026: Stock Closes Week at Fresh 52-Week Low

The downtrend extended into the final trading day, with shares closing at Rs.11.94, down 3.55%. The stock reached a new 52-week low of Rs.11.21 during the session, marking a 16.56% decline over the last four trading days. This performance lagged the Sensex, which fell 0.22% to 36,185.03 points, and the power sector, which outperformed the stock by 3.55% on the day.

Technical indicators remained bearish, with the stock trading below all major moving averages. The company’s valuation at a price-to-book ratio of 0.7 reflects a discount to peers but remains expensive relative to its low ROE of 0.8%. Promoter share pledging remains elevated at 28.58%, adding to downside risks in a volatile market environment.

Daily Price Comparison: Indowind Energy Ltd vs Sensex

Date Stock Price Day Change Sensex Day Change
2026-01-27 Rs.13.88 -2.60% 35,786.84 +0.50%
2026-01-28 Rs.13.50 -2.74% 36,188.16 +1.12%
2026-01-29 Rs.12.38 -8.30% 36,266.59 +0.22%
2026-01-30 Rs.11.94 -3.55% 36,185.03 -0.22%

Key Takeaways

1. Pronounced Underperformance: Indowind Energy’s 16.21% weekly decline starkly contrasts with the Sensex’s 1.62% gain, highlighting company-specific headwinds rather than sector or market weakness.

2. Persistent Profitability Challenges: The company’s low ROE of 1.20% and a dramatic 66.12% drop in PAT for nine months ending September 2025, followed by mounting quarterly losses in Q3 FY26, underscore ongoing operational difficulties.

3. Elevated Financial Burden: Interest expenses surged significantly, reaching Rs.2.83 crore for nine months ended December 2025, exacerbating net losses despite a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09 times.

4. Promoter Share Pledging Risks: With 28.58% of promoter shares pledged, the stock faces additional downside pressure from potential forced selling in a declining market.

Conclusion

Indowind Energy Ltd’s steep decline over the week reflects a confluence of operational setbacks, deteriorating profitability, and financial strain. Despite some positive signs in operating profit growth, the company’s inability to translate this into net earnings, combined with elevated promoter pledging and technical weakness, has weighed heavily on investor sentiment. The stock’s consistent underperformance relative to the Sensex and sector peers signals ongoing challenges that continue to impact its market valuation and price trajectory.
