Here is a list of stocks that may remain in focus today.
Tata Power: The company has resumed operations at the Mundra Plant, with an installed capacity of 4,150 MW, after a gap of almost nine months.
V-Mart Retail: Shares of V-Mart Retail will be on investors’ radar on Thursday, April 1, as the company shared a business update for the March quarter.

In a regulatory filing, the retail firm stated that its total revenue from operations for the quarter was ₹971 crore, compared to ₹780 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, reflecting a year-on-year (YoY) growth of 24%.

Its same-store sales growth (SSSG) was at 12% for the quarter, including V-Mart Retail’s at 12% and Unlimited's at 9%.

Hero MotoCorp: In a regulatory filing dated April 1, the automaker posted an 8.84% year-on-year (YoY) surge in its total dispatches (including exports), which stood at 5.98 lakh units during the month under review.

In the corresponding period of the previous year, it had dispatched 5.5 lakh units in total, Hero MotoCorp stated.

Furthermore, its retail performance also remained robust in March 2026, with 5.42 lakh VAHAN registrations, marking a 24% YoY growth, the company said, quoting data from VAHAN except Telangana, as of April 1, 2026.

Coal India: In a significant push to the country's coal gasification ambitions, Bharat Coal Gasification and Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL) and Coal India arm MCL on Wednesday signed a land leasing pact for the proposed coal to ammonium nitrate project in Odisha.

The project, a coal-to-2,000-tonnes-per-day (TPD) ammonium nitrate facility, represents an achievement as India's pioneering coal gasification initiative using homegrown technology from BHEL.

It signals a bold move towards self-reliant innovation, technological progress, and lessened reliance on foreign tech in energy and chemicals, the coal ministry said in a statement.

IndiGo: The country's largest airline, IndiGo, on Wednesday announced revised fuel charges ranging from ₹275 to ₹10,000, which will push airfares higher for many domestic and international flights amid the rise in jet fuel prices.

The announcement from the country's largest airline comes on a day when the Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices were revised, and the government decided to only partially hike the price by 25% for the domestic flights.

From March 14 onwards, the airline has been levying fuel charges ranging from ₹425 to ₹2,300 on domestic and international flight tickets as the fuel prices jumped in the wake of the West Asia conflict.

"Although fully offsetting the fuel price increase would require substantial fare revisions, IndiGo has passed on a relatively smaller amount to customers, keeping in mind the consequential burden on them," IndiGo said on Wednesday, and regretted the inconvenience to passengers resulting from the fuel charges.

Wipro: IT services major Wipro on Wednesday announced the launch of a dedicated AI-native business and platforms unit, triggering a top-level leadership shuffle.

Wipro veteran Nagendra Bandaru, who was serving as the President and Managing Partner of Technology Services Global Business Lines (GBL), has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the newly formed AI unit, effective immediately.

Bandaru, who has been with Wipro for nearly three decades, will continue to report to Wipro CEO and MD Srini Pallia in his new role as the AI unit's chief.

To fill Bandaru's previous role, the Bengaluru-headquartered company has roped in former Accenture executive Kanwar Singh as the new president and managing partner of Technology Services GBL, according to a regulatory filing.

Cement stocks: Ultratech Cement, ACC-Ambuja Cement, and other stocks will be in focus as cement prices are likely to rise by ₹20–₹50 per bag in the first week of April.
YES Bank: Private sector lender YES Bank on Wednesday announced the appointment of S Anantharaman as Chief Risk Officer (CRO).

He joins the bank from Jio Financial Services, where he built the group-wide risk management architecture across lending, payments, insurance broking, and asset management as the group CRO, according to a statement.

Eicher Motors: Motorcycle maker Royal Enfield on Wednesday said its retail sales grew 11% to 1,12,334 in March from 1,01,021 units in the same month of last year.

Domestic sales for the month under review were seen at 1,00,406 units, up 14% from 88,050 units in March 2025, while exports declined 8% year-on-year at 11,928 units, the company said.

Royal Enfield said it closed the financial year at 12,38,659 units, up 23% from FY 2024-25, with the domestic sales growing 23% year-on-year to 11,07,343 units while exports surging 23% to 1,31,316 units.

The growth was driven by sustained demand across both domestic and international markets, supported by a strong and diverse motorcycle portfolio and a growing ecosystem of allied businesses, strengthening overall customer engagement. The company said.

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M): Homegrown automaker Mahindra & Mahindra has become the second-largest passenger vehicle maker by volume in the Indian market in 2025-26, riding on its SUVs.

Mahindra & Mahindra overtook long-time number two player Hyundai Motor India and homegrown rival Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd in FY26. Maruti Suzuki is the market leader in India.

According to sales data released by automakers, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd was the third-largest by sales in FY26, ahead of Hyundai Motor India Ltd, which dropped to fourth from second in FY25.

Godrej Enterprises, Tata Capital: Godrej Enterprises Group and Tata Capital have entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate India’s intralogistics transformation by introducing structured finance lease solutions.

These solutions are an emerging and differentiated model in the Indian forklift and material handling equipment market.

The collaboration enables businesses to scale operations without large upfront capital expenditure and aims to finance lease assets worth Rs 100 crore over the next three years, a joint statement said on Wednesday.

With sectors such as e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, retail, logistics, and manufacturing rapidly shifting to electric, lead-acid and lithium-ion forklifts, the higher upfront CAPEX, typically 50–60 per cent more than diesel trucks, often slows adoption, it said.

Prestige Estates Projects: Realty firm Prestige Estates Projects Ltd has entered into a partnership with a landowner to develop a 17-acre housing project in Gurugram with an estimated revenue potential of ₹4,200 crore.

In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, the company informed that it has secured a prime land parcel in Sector 92, Gurugram.

"The company has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) for a 17.212-acre land parcel," it added.

The proposed development is expected to have a saleable area of about 3 million square feet and an estimated revenue of ₹4,200 crore.

Indian Oil: In its provisional business update for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company said that refineries achieved the highest-ever crude throughput of 75.4 MMT, with operational reliability of 99.5%. The company achieved the highest-ever consolidated sales volume of 104.4 MMT of petroleum products, surpassing the previous year’s 100.3 MMT (nearly 4% growth).
Lupin: Nanomi B.V., the Netherlands (‘Nanomi’), a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, has entered into definitive agreements to acquire the minority shareholding from certain existing shareholders of Multicare Pharmaceuticals Philippines, Inc. (‘MPPI’), a subsidiary of Nanomi. This acquisition involves 11,794,497 shares, which accounts for 43.38% of the total outstanding paid-up shares of MPPI.
OMCs, other oil-linked stocks: Stocks will be in focus as oil prices jumped in volatile trading as US President Donald Trump warned of further military aggression against Iran in the next two or three weeks, dampening hopes for an imminent de-escalation in the conflict.

US West Texas Intermediate crude futures for May gained 4.1% to $104.21 a barrel as of 9:45 p.m. ET. International benchmark Brent crude futures for June rose 5% to $106.42 per barrel.
