Equity benchmark indices - the BSE Sensex and the Nifty 50 were seen swinging between zones on the first trading day of the New Year 2025. At 11.10 AM, the Sensex was up 0.5 per cent or 418 points at 78,550, while the Nifty quoted around 23,750 levels.
Among individual shares, stocks of Lupin, IREDA, SJVN and Adani Wilmar were seen buzzing in trade on the back of news flow at the respective counters.
Lupin on Tuesday announced the acquisition of Huminsulin in India from Eli Lilly to further enhance its diabetes portfolio for an unspecified amount.
IREDA reported a strong set of numbers in its business update for the December quarter.
SJVN inked an Rs 5,663 crore MoU for a project with Bihar government.
Whereas, Adani Wilmar (AWL) was in focus for the second straight trading day following JPMorgan's 'Underweight' rating with a price target of Rs 320 per cent. Further, AWL is likely to remain in limelight as Adani Group's flagship firm Adani Enterprises announced its plan to exit its entire 44 per cent stake in the JV with Singapore's Wilmar International in as part of a $2 billion deal. The price of up to Rs 305 at which Adani Group is selling its 31% stake to Wilmar International is a 7% discount to Monday's closing price.

Upside Potential: 28.4%
Support: Rs 219; Rs 205
Resistance: Rs 255; Rs 265
IREDA is seen attempting a fresh breakout on the daily scale. In case, the stock closes above Rs 219 today the breakout will be confirmed. In the process, the stock is also seen attempting to conquer its 100-DMA (Daily Moving Average) - a key long-term average the stock has failed to hold on to since mid-October 2024.
On the upside, the stock can potentially rally to Rs 285; with interim resistance visible around Rs 255 and Rs 265 levels. On the flip side, failure to close above Rs 219 could drag the stock back near its 200-DMA support at Rs 205.

Upside Potential: 22.7%
Support: Rs 104
Resistance: Rs 114; Rs 121; Rs 127

The medium-term chart indicates that the stock can potentially surge to Rs 360 levels; if the crucial hurdle at Rs 342 is cleared.
