Following a negative trend since the opening of the trading day, the Indian indices have continued to remain under pressure in the post noon trading session. Sectoral indices are trading on a negative note with stocks from the oil & gas, telecom and energy sectors bearing the maximum brunt.

The BSE Sensex is trading lower by 145 (down 0.6%) and the NSE Nifty is trading down by 44 points (down 0.6%). The BSE Mid Cap index is trading down by 1.7% while the BSE Small Cap index is trading down by 3%. Gold prices, per 10 grams, are trading at Rs 26,006 levels. Silver price, per kilogram, is trading at Rs 33,919 levels. Crude oil is trading at Rs 1,949 per barrel. The rupee is trading at 67.66 to the US$.

Stocks in the power space are trading on a dismal note with Adani Power and RattanIndia Power leading the losses. As per an article in Economic Times, the Madhya Pradesh government has inked a pact with IFC, member of the World Bank Group, in order to set up a solar energy plant with a capacity of 750 MW (megawatt). The project is said to be the largest single site solar power project in the world. The project will be set up in Gurh tehsil of Rewa district over an area of 1,500 hectares. The estimated cost for the same is stated at Rs 45 billion.

For this, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Madhya Pradesh Renewable Energy Development Corporation and IFC. Madhya Pradesh Urja Vika Nigam Limited (MPUVN) and the Solar Energy Corporation of India have created a joint venture company named Rewa Ultra-Mega Solar Power Limited to implement the project. In order to structure and implement the transaction, IFC will extend its global expertise to attract private investments of about US$ 750 million.

Meanwhile, on a separate note, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) has received the environmental clearance to expand its refinery at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh from 8.33 MTPA (million tonne per annum) to 15 MTPA. This comes as the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) in its meeting held last month cleared the Rs 184 billion expansion plan which was rejected in 2013 earlier in some parts of Visakhapatnam. Scrip of HPCL is trading down by 3.3%.

Telecom stocks are trading on a negative note with AGC Networks and Himachal Futuristic witnessing maximum selling pressure.
