In news from the energy sector, Suzlon Energy is among the top buzzing stocks today.

Shares of Suzlon continued their downtrend and fell 5% today, having dropped 10% in the previous session after it reported a poor performance while reporting its Q4 results.

The utility company reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 2.1 bn in the March 2021 quarter, which stood at Rs 0.5 bn in the year ago quarter.

With today's fall, shares of the company have plunged about 35% in the last one month.

The company said it has successfully concluded refinancing of its debt of the State Bank of India-led existing consortium of 16 lenders with REC-led consortium of two lenders.

Note that in the past decade, lenders have restructured Suzlon's debt twice. Currently, the market regulator is conducting a long-drawn forensic audit while lenders have agreed to bail the company for the third time.

High debt stocks like Suzlon are always considered risky while debt free companies in India are considered safe because these companies are insulated against interest rate changes.

Suzlon is one such popular stock which has turned into penny stock and never recovered. Have a look at the chart below:

From having a marketcap of Rs 680.7 bn in January 2008, Suzlon's current marketcap stands at Rs 77.2 bn.

In news from the finance space, HDFC on Thursday said it has sold 10% stake in HDFC Capital Advisors (HCAL) to Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for Rs 1.8 bn.

With this sale, HCAL ceases to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFC. However, it continues to be a subsidiary of the corporation.

The country's largest mortgage lender in April had entered into a share purchase agreement for sale of 2,35,019 equity shares of HCAL, representing 10% of paid-up share capital.

HDFC share price is currently trading up by 1.2%.

Moving on to news from the drone technology, RattanIndia Enterprises has acquired 60% stake in drone company Throttle Aerospace Systems (TAS).

The investment in TAS has been done through NeoSky India (NeoSky), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RattanIndia Enterprises.

The company did not disclose the financial details of the transaction.

Founded in 2016, TAS has been approved by Directorate General Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Ministry of Defence (MoD) to manufacture civil and military grade drones.

In a statement, the company said that this acquisition will enable NeoSky to provide full 360 degree drone solutions to customers such as drones as a product (DAAP - drone hardware), drone as a service (DAAS - drone service solutions) and software as a service (SAAS - drone softwares).

Note that RattanIndia Enterprises, a penny stock with weak financials to report, has been in news ever since it started exploring investments in new themes.

Apart from drones, the company has also forayed into electric mobility space through Revolt Motors to democratise clean commute using next-gen mobility solutions.

Ever since the news came out that RattanIndia has forayed into drones and EVs, shares of the company have been on a roll. After languishing near the same level for around three years, RattanIndia shares have spiked and spiked hard.

RattanIndia is among the top drone stocks in India which people have been closely tracking.
