Adani Power jumps 10% in two days after Reliance Industries’ stake buy in Madhya Pradesh power project

Adani Power’s share price surged by 5% to hit its upper circuit for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, April 2, despite overall market weakness. Opening at Rs 574.05, a 2.4% increase from its previous close of Rs 560.35, the stock quickly rose to Rs 588.35, the upper price band, on the BSE.
