In a surprise turn, Pavna Industries' shares leapt almost 15% on the BSE, helping the broader market bounce back after five days of losses.
Price jump and market backdrop
The stock opened at ₹22.99, up from ₹21.02 yesterday, and touched an intraday high of ₹24.12. The Sensex also climbed more than 250 points, ending the losing streak.
Recent volatility
Just a day earlier, Pavna had fallen 13.21% and its price is down about 22% for December, marking four months of losses. Year‑to‑date, the share is down over 50%.

New ₹250 crore project deal
On 24 Nov, Pavna signed an MoU with the Uttar Pradesh government to invest ₹250 crore over the next three‑to‑five years, creating around 500 jobs. The state will help secure permits, approvals and incentives.
Why it matters for small‑cap investors
The sudden price surge shows how a positive government partnership can lift a struggling small‑cap stock, at least in the short term. However, the longer‑term outlook still depends on the project's execution and broader market trends.
Takeaway
While the rally is encouraging, remember that small‑cap stocks remain volatile. Do your own research and consider your risk tolerance before buying.
