Shares of small-cap Orient Technologies surged 12% in Monday’s trading session, July 27, to hit an intraday high of ₹290 apiece after the company announced a fresh order win from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).

According to the company, the order further strengthens its position in delivering enterprise infrastructure solutions and reinforces its capabilities in the IT infrastructure segment, particularly in executing large-scale technology projects.
The contract has been awarded by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the umbrella organisation for retail payments and settlement systems in India.

Incorporated in 1997, the company offers a diverse portfolio of products and services across three business verticals—IT infrastructure, IT-enabled services (ITeS), and cloud and data management services.
Shares turn positive for July after latest rally
With today’s rally, the stock has turned positive for July, gaining around 11% so far this month.
However, the shares have remained volatile in recent months, with the overall trend skewed to the downside as the stock continues to struggle for sustained momentum.
The stock has ended six of the last nine months in the red, with March emerging as the worst-performing month after it plunged 24%, followed by declines of 22.3% in November and 20% in January.
The prolonged sell-off dragged the stock to an all-time low of ₹220 in March and has left it down 37% so far in 2026. From its record high of ₹613.50 apiece, the stock has lost nearly 56% of its value.
The sharp correction has significantly eroded retail investors’ wealth, with public shareholders collectively holding a 29.3% stake in the company as of the end of the June quarter.
According to Trendlyne data, more than 20 retail shareholders with holdings exceeding ₹2 lakh collectively owned a 1.97% stake in the company, while investors with holdings of up to ₹2 lakh held another 23% stake.
Promoters held the remaining 70.7% stake. Among them, Ajay Baliram Sawant and Ujwal Arvind Mhatre each owned 17.61%, while Jayesh Manharlal Shah and Umesh Navnitlal Shah each held 17.6%, according to Trendlyne data.
