ICICI Pru has rallied 8% to Rs 508, its highest level since listing on September 29 2016 on BSE, on back of heavy volumes. A combined 2.56 million shares have already changed hands against an average sub two million shares were traded daily in past two weeks on BSE and NSE.

During the fiscal ended March 2017, the Value of New Business (VNB) was increased by whopping 61.7% to Rs 666 crore as compared to Rs 412 crore a year ago.

VNB increased primarily on account of increase in protection business and improvement in persistence, ICICI Pru said in a statement.

The management sounded confident of maintaining strong growth trajectory going forward on the back of huge under-penetration in the protection business and rising share of financial savings.

Triveni Turbines has soared 18% to Rs 167 on BSE in intra-day trade on back of two-fold jump in trading volumes.

With a healthy order book, improved outlook of exports, strong after-market service business, likely scale-up of GE-TTL JV and a healthy enquiry pipeline, analysts at Nirmal Bang expect Triveni Turbines to post strong earnings CAGR of 26% over FY17-FY19E.

Rescheduling of orders in export business led to double digit revenue drop of 13% driven by a decline of 39% in export revenues in March quarter. Profitability suffered on account of fall in export revenues and higher other expenditure.

However, the management is confident about the growth prospects in the export market. They see export enquiry pipeline of 5GW across regions, 5% higher compared to last year and a revival in the domestic market with inflows growing 6-7% in FY2018.
