During the early trading hours on August 30th, SBFC Finance experienced a notable surge of almost 5% in its shares, attributed to the release of strong financial results for the first quarter. Around 11:58 am, the company's stock was observed to have risen by 4.82%, reaching Rs 90.25 on the NSE. The non-banking finance firm achieved a standalone net profit of Rs 47 crore for the quarter ending June FY24, marking a substantial 46.5% increase from the previous year's Rs 32 crore profit.

On August 30th, Titagarh Rail Systems witnessed a 2% increase in trading following the company's acquisition of a contract worth Rs 350 crore from Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation. The contract encompasses various aspects such as design, manufacturing, supply, testing, commissioning, and training for 30 standard gauge coaches intended for the second phase of the Ahmedabad Metro Rail Project, as stated in an official filing by the company.

Suzlon Energy's shares surged to a 52-week high of Rs 25.85, with a 1% shift in equity marked by a significant transaction amounting to Rs 232 crore on August 30th, according to Bloomberg data. Notably, around 9 crore shares of Suzlon Energy were traded in a block deal on the NSE, although the identities of the buyers and sellers remain undisclosed. This transaction appeared to counterbalance the potential impact of the company's contract with Avikiran Solar, which involved scaling down a wind power project in Kutch from 285 MW to 168 MW. Suzlon attributed this downsizing to the global supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as stated in a regulatory filing on August 29th.
