Shares of information technology (IT) services companies came under pressure on 5 January 2025, with the Nifty IT index declining 2.5% amid expectations of muted sector growth in the third quarter of FY26.
All 10 constituent stocks of the index traded in the red. HCL Tech and Infosys emerged as the biggest laggards, with both stocks falling over 3% during the session.
Amid the broader weakness in the IT space, one IT-enabled services stock that stood out was Netweb Technologies.
Netweb Technologies India (NTI), a leading domestic provider of high-end computing solutions with fully integrated design and manufacturing capabilities, bucked the sectoral trend.
Shares of Netweb Technologies surged during the session, rising as much as 11% to an intraday high of Rs 3,360.
While benchmark indices such as the Nifty 50 and Sensex fell, broader markets witnessed buying interest.
The Nifty Smallcap 250 was trading 0.5% higher, while the BSE Smallcap index was up 0.2% during the session.
Netweb Technologies, a constituent of both the BSE Smallcap index and the Nifty Smallcap 250, benefited from this broader smallcap momentum. The stock saw strong buying interest, supported by a sharp surge in trading volumes.
Netweb Technologies featured among the volume toppers in the BSE Smallcap index, with traded quantity of around 7.3 lakh shares and a turnover of approximately Rs 242.2 crore.
The strong volumes, coupled with gains in the broader smallcap indices, helped Netweb Technologies outperform.
The rally in Netweb Technologies also drew support from improving sentiment around India's rapidly expanding data centre ecosystem.
According to an IBEF report dated 30 December 2025, India's cumulative data centre capacity is projected to scale up sharply from around 1 GW currently to nearly 14 GW by 2035, driven by accelerating digitisation, rising adoption of cloud services, AI applications, and higher data consumption.
Policy support, improved fibre connectivity, and increasing access to renewable energy are further strengthening India's position as an attractive destination for data centre investments.
Netweb Technologies India designs and manufactures data centre servers, high-performance computing (HPC) and supercomputing systems, private cloud appliances, and AI workstations at its Faridabad facility under the 'Make in India' initiative.
The company partners with global technology leaders such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.
While Netweb does not own or operate data centres, its products are critical components of data centre infrastructure.
This strong alignment with the expanding data centre theme may have added momentum to the stock's recent rally.
Going forward, the company plans to continue building on its three core growth pillars-high-performance computing (HPC), private cloud, and AI systems.
Management highlighted that strong industry tailwinds across supercomputing, data centres, and AI are supporting sustained demand momentum in these segments.
This focus is reflected in Netweb's healthy order visibility.
Netweb Technologies indicated that the recent quarter was exceptionally strong, marked by the securing of two large strategic orders worth around Rs 21,840 million (m), to be executed by FY27.
As of 30 September 2025, the company had a robust organic order book of Rs 4,939 m, which, along with recently secured large strategic orders exceeding Rs 21,000 m and a strong pipeline, positions it well for sustained growth over the next few years.
These wins further strengthen its position as India's largest OEM in the high-end computing solutions (HCS) space.
Importantly, Netweb reiterated that it does not intend to enter data centre ownership or cloud service provisioning. Instead, the company will remain focused on R&D.
In the past 6 months, the stocks has rallied over 83%.
The company touched its 52-week high of Rs 4,480 on 8 October 2025 and its 52-week low of Rs 1,278.9 on 7 April 2025.
Netweb Technologies is a major player in high-performance computing (HPC) solutions and data centres. It specialises in manufacturing data centre servers, supercomputing systems, and advanced computing solutions.
Over the last decade, the company has successfully completed data centre projects across five countries, demonstrating its expertise and reliability in this space.
The company is expanding its data centre footprint across India to meet the ever-growing demand.
Netweb Technologies collaborates with various technology partners such as Intel Americas, Inc, AMD, Samsung India Electronics Pvt Ltd, Nvidia, and Seagate India Pvt Ltd.
