Wipro Goes Green: Shares Reach Day’s High with Renewable Energy Investment
Wipro Ltd, an Indian multinational corporation, is a leading player in the IT services sector. The company provides information technology, consulting, and business process services. Wipro’s capabilities span across cloud computing, computer security, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, robotics, data analytics, and other technology consulting services to customers in 167 countries. The company was incorporated on December 29, 1945, and has its headquarters on Sarjapur Road in Bangalore.
On October 11, Wipro Ltd saw its shares surge over 3 percent. This surge was triggered by the company’s completion of its subscription to the equity share capital of FPEL Ujwal, a renewable energy company.
Investing in the Future: Wipro’s Strategic Move
Wipro’s investment in FPEL Ujwal is part of a definitive agreement signed on September 1. As part of this agreement, Wipro subscribed to a 9.5 percent stake in the renewable energy company. FPEL Ujwal is engaged in developing, building, and managing a portfolio of solar power assets. This strategic move aligns with Wipro’s commitment to enhancing the proportion of renewable energy usage for their offices in Karnataka.
The IT giant stated that this project is expected to help them move closer to their goal of becoming Net Zero by 2040 and achieving 100% renewable energy for purchased electricity by 2030.
Riding the Market Waves: WIPRO Performance and Volatility
Despite the Nifty 50’s growth of 14.8 percent over the past year, Wipro gained a mere 1.7 percent. However, over the past six months, Wipro shares have seen an increase of 12.71 percent. The firm’s one-year beta indicates high volatility for the counter. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 40.7 suggests that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold.
