Top Buzzing Stocks Today

Godrej Properties will be among the top buzzing stocks today.

M&M forms renewable energy unit

M&M's arm incorporated two companies, Gelos Solren and Furies Solren, in the renewable energy segment.

The incorporation with Mahindra Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of M&M, has been done to enhance the company's presence in the renewable energy segment.

Furies Solren will be involved in the production and sale of power and generating electricity and distribution of energy for various segments.

Gelos Solren and Furies Solren are wholly owned subsidiaries of Mahindra Susten, a subsidiary of Mahindra Holdings.

The authorised and paid-up share capital of Furies is both worth Rs 2 million (m), comprising 2,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 apiece.

Mahindra & Mahindra had been in action in recent weeks, buoyed by the improving prospects of automakers.

Note that M&M has announced its commitment of over a billion dollars to aggressively?participate in the EV race?and it expects a significant 30% of its total sales to come from electric SUVs by 2027.

The?electric vehicle (EV) megatrend?is a once in a century revolution happening right in front of us.

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and?India's top EV stocks?are set to benefit from this shift.
