Adani Power share price is exhibiting a strong continuation of its primary uptrend, supported by a clear alignment of moving averages (short-term above medium and long-term), indicating sustained bullish momentum. After a healthy consolidation phase, the stock has witnessed a decisive breakout with expanding volumes, signalling fresh participation. The recent sharp upmove toward the Rs 190–200 zone in the Adani Power share price reflects strength, though the steep rally also suggests near-term overextension, Ajit Mishra, senior vice president at Religare Broking said.

Momentum indicators are trending higher but approaching overbought territory, which may lead to brief consolidation or minor pullbacks. Immediate support is placed around Rs 170–175, followed by a stronger base near Rs 150. As long as the price holds above these levels, the bias remains positive, and dips are likely to be bought into, with potential for further upside continuation.Ruchit Jain, vice president of technical research at Motilal Oswal, said Adani Power share price had recently given a breakout from its long consolidation phase with good volumes. This, along with the positive momentum across the Adani Group stocks, has led to strong buying interest in the counter. Traders with existing long positions should hold and continue to ride the trend, while any declines in the near term can be seen as buying opportunities.From a fundamental perspective, the surge comes amid rising power demand. JM Financial noted in a recent report that power demand had peaked in early March, but an unusual western disturbance from March 20 disrupted the trend. A massive cloud cover stretching nearly 1,000 km from Afghanistan through Pakistan into India brought widespread rainfall and unseasonably cool weather. With this cloud system now receding from North India, experts expect a return of hotter conditions, which could drive a fresh surge in power demand.“All in all, we anticipate a shortfall in hydro generation (negative for NHPC, SJVN), spike in coal-fired generation (positive for NTPC, Adani Power), extension of Section-11 (Tata Mundra) and high merchant prices (Adani Green, Adani Power),” the domestic brokerage concluded.
