Stocks to Watch Today, Friday, August 21, 2026: RailTel, InterGlobe Aviation, Saatvik Green Energy, Kfin Technologies and Niva Bupa Health Insurance

Mumbai, Aug 21: Five stocks are in focus on Friday, from RailTel Corporation’s new Rs 164.79 crore Western Coalfields contract to InterGlobe Aviation’s dominant July market share, Saatvik Green Energy’s fresh solar module order, a large General Atlantic block deal in Kfin Technologies, and an IRDAI warning for Niva Bupa Health Insurance. Here’s what’s driving each stock and what to track through the day. 

RailTel Corporation (RAILTEL): Bags Rs 164.79 crore Western Coalfields order 

RailTel Corporation of India, a Navratna PSU, has won a work order worth Rs 164.79 crore, including taxes, from Western Coalfields Limited for setting up a secure Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network, or MPLS VPN. The network will be provided on a rental basis for 60 months, with the contract scheduled for execution by September 20, 2031. RailTel said the order does not fall under related-party transactions and that its promoters or group entities have no interest in Western Coalfields, a domestic entity. The win adds to a steady stream of MPLS VPN orders the telecom infrastructure provider has secured from coal and public sector clients in recent months. 

InterGlobe Aviation (INDIGO): July data confirms IndiGo’s 67.4% market dominance 

IndiGo continued to dominate India’s domestic aviation market in July, retaining a 67.4 per cent market share while carrying 80.82 lakh passengers during the month, according to DGCA data. The airline maintained a sizeable lead over the Air India Group, the second-largest player with a 24 per cent share and 28.75 lakh passengers, while Akasa Air and SpiceJet trailed with 5.5 per cent and 1.6 per cent shares, respectively. Overall domestic air passenger traffic fell nearly 5 per cent year-on-year in July to around 1.2 crore, even as IndiGo’s dominant position held steady. The carrier also recorded the best on-time performance among major airlines, at 91.2 per cent. 

Saatvik Green Energy (SAATVIKGL): Subsidiary bags Rs 190 crore solar module order 

Saatvik Green Energy‘s material subsidiary, Saatvik Solar Industries, has received and accepted a Rs 190 crore order from a domestic independent power producer or EPC player for the supply of solar photovoltaic modules. The order is scheduled to be executed by March 2027, though the company has not disclosed the customer’s name, module capacity or delivery schedule. The win adds to Saatvik’s steady order pipeline in India’s expanding solar manufacturing sector, coming days after the company secured a separate Rs 132 crore module order from another power producer. 

Kfin Technologies (KFINTECH): General Atlantic likely seller in Rs 1,400 crore block deal 

Kfin Technologies witnessed a large block deal on Thursday, with 1.51 crore shares, or about 8.75 per cent of the company’s equity, changing hands at Rs 925 apiece for a total value of around Rs 1,400 crore. General Atlantic is believed to be the seller, though the identities of the buyers and sellers have not been officially confirmed. General Atlantic held a 21.9 per cent stake in Kfin Technologies at the end of the June quarter, and its holding would fall to roughly 13.2 per cent if the entire block is attributable to the private equity investor. The stock has declined about 12 per cent so far in 2026. 

Niva Bupa Health Insurance (NIVABUPA): IRDAI bars insurer from opening new offices for six months 

The IRDAI has barred Niva Bupa Health Insurance from opening any new place of business for six months, effective August 19, 2026, after the insurer breached prescribed Expense of Management limits for FY 2024-25. The regulator’s order also carried a formal warning over the compliance lapse, which relates to operating costs and commissions paid to agents and distributors. Niva Bupa said it has complied with the prescribed expense limits for FY 2025-26 and remains on track to stay within regulatory limits for the current fiscal year. The stock closed 1.3 per cent lower on Thursday following the disclosure.
