2. JSW Energy
With its primary business being the generation of power from its plants, JSW energy has been acting bullish since the beginning of 2021 as the shares of the company have gained 270 percent. Its bullish nature can be owed to the company’s efforts to reduce debt consistently. Moreover, the increasing FII holding has helped the stock. As of June 2021, the promoters held a 74.7 percent stake in the company against FIIs 5.9 percent. With oil and crude prices surging, an increased focus on cleaner energy solutions will add more gains to its stock.
