JP Power Share Price Surges Over 15% – What’s Fueling the Rally?
Shares of Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power) rallied over 15% in intraday trade on Monday, continuing their upward trend from the previous session. The surge is attributed to market reports suggesting Adani Group’s bid to acquire JP Associates, which owns a 24% stake in JP Power.
This sudden movement comes amid growing investor confidence that Adani Group’s financial muscle and operational efficiency may transform the prospects of JP Associates and JP Power.
What Sparked the Rally?
According to media reports, Gautam Adani-led Adani Group has emerged as the highest bidder for JP Associates with a bid of ₹12,500 crore. Analysts believe this acquisition could create strong synergies with Adani’s existing cement and power business arms.
“An acquisition by a powerful entity like the Adani Group would be highly beneficial for JP Power as well. It aligns perfectly with their existing business model,” says G. Chokkalingam, Founder of Equinomics Research.
Apart from Adani, other bidders reportedly included Vedanta, Dalmia Bharat, JSPL, PNC Infratech, and Suraksha Group, though Adani’s bid currently leads the pack.

JP Associates Insolvency Update
JP Associates was dragged into Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) by the NCLT Allahabad Bench via order dated June 3, 2024, after defaulting on debt repayments amounting to ₹57,185 crore.
While JP Associates has multiple business interests — in real estate, cement, hospitality, and EPC — it also holds a 24% equity stake in JP Power, making the outcome of this insolvency crucial for JP Power’s future.
JP Power’s Corporate Guarantee Risk
JP Power had extended a corporate guarantee (CG) for JP Associates’ $150 million external commercial borrowing from State Bank of India, now a rupee term loan. This guarantee was expected to be released in 2019 under a framework agreement but remains pending, keeping JP Power financially exposed.
India Ratings & Research emphasized that the insolvency resolution for JP Associates would directly affect JP Power’s financial stability and liability profile.
