Penny stock under ₹15 surges 20% on order win from ONGC
Penny stock: Shares of Aakash Exploration Services surged nearly 20% on Wednesday's session after the company was issued a Letter of Award (LOI) from Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC). The total value of the order is approximately ₹ 19.36 crores.
The timeframe for executing the orders is set at three years. The company has secured the Letter of Award for the charter hiring of one 50 MT workover rig for use at the Ahmedabad Asset.
This year, Aakash Exploration Services secured a contract valued at ₹ 29 crores from the Indian Maharatna Public Sector Enterprise, Oil India Limited, for the provision of a high-pressure Mobile Boiler along with necessary accessories for the production of high-quality steam. The execution of this order is scheduled to take place over a period of 2 years.
Aakash Exploration Services Limited is a company that offers services for Oil and Gas Exploration with a core mission of becoming a leader in delivering services to the Oil and Gas sector while achieving international standards of excellence. Headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the company is also affiliated with the International Association of Drilling Contractors.
The net profit of Aakash Exploration Services fell by 92.02% to ₹ 0.28 crore in the quarter that ended in March 2025, compared to ₹ 3.51 crore in the quarter ending March 2024. Sales dropped by 16.57% to ₹ 25.77 crore in the quarter ended March 2025, down from ₹ 30.89 crore in the previous quarter of March 2024.
Aakash Exploration Services share price opened at an intraday low of ₹ 9.01 per share on the NSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹ 10.51 apiece.
According to Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, the stock witnessed strong momentum in today's session, surging over 16% and decisively crossing above the key 200-day SMA. It has remained in focus throughout the week, and the uptrend may continue in the near term. The previous swing high near ₹ 12 acts as resistance, while immediate support is seen around ₹ 9.5.
ONGC share price rose 1.4% on Wednesday's session, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹ 255.90 apiece on the BSE, and an intraday low of ₹ 252.80 per share.
According to Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, ONGC has breached a 53-day-long VCP pattern with a pivot breakout at ₹ 254. While the structure lacks tightness and volume isn't deeply institutional, the setup is valid for a small-quantity positional trade.
A sustained move above ₹ 254 may lead the stock toward ₹ 268, which is also a major resistance level formed by previous swing highs. Given the loosely built structure, the move may be slow and volatile. Traders should be cautious and treat this as a mean-reversion bounce toward resistance.

On the NSE, Nifty too followed a similar trend and closed 244 points or 1 per cent higher at 25,038 points. Foreign investors, after showing mixed trends for the last few sessions, turned strong buyers on Friday with a net inflow of Rs 7,704 crore. Domestic funds, on the other hand, were net sellers at Rs 3,050 crore, BSE data showed. According to Prashanth Tapse of Mehta Equities, markets witnessed consolidation after the recent spell of subdued trend, as strong European cues and positive Dow Futures triggered a massive rally in local benchmarks. "Investors also resorted to short covering ahead of next week's monthly derivatives expiry." Tapse, despite Friday's gains, is cautious about the market direction since a number of headwinds have a chance of impeding the northward run. Investors should remain cautious due to the ongoing West Asia conflict, as any spike in crude oil prices owing to escalation in tension could fuel uncertainty and spook markets, he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Clean Warehouses = Safe Workplaces SearchMore Learn More Undo Late on Friday, Brent crude was trading at about $76.7/barrel while WTI crude was slightly above the $75 mark.
