Shares of Netweb Technologies witnessed a significant surge on Thursday, November 20, climbing over 6% in a single trading session. This bullish momentum was fueled by a dual announcement from the company: a substantially improved Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating and the securing of two massive strategic orders that underscore its pivotal role in India's technological ambitions.
ESG Recognition and Market Reaction
The primary catalyst for the stock's rise was the company's disclosure of an enhanced ESG score. SES ESG RESEARCH PVT. LTD, a SEBI-registered ESG ratings provider, assigned Netweb Technologies a score of 68.2 for the financial year 2024-25. This new rating marks a impressive year-on-year improvement of 7.9 points, reflecting the company's committed efforts toward sustainable and responsible business practices. The official communication regarding this upgraded score was received by the company on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
Investors responded positively to this news, driving the IT stock to an intraday high of ₹3,500, a jump of 6.4%. This performance highlights the growing importance of robust ESG frameworks in investment decisions.
Robust Financial and Operational Performance
Complementing the ESG news were the company's strong financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2026. Netweb Technologies reported a 19.8% year-on-year increase in net profit, which reached ₹31.4 crore, up from ₹26.2 crore in the same quarter last year.
Furthermore, the company's revenue from operations grew by 20.9% to ₹303.7 crore in Q2 FY26, compared to ₹251 crore in the previous year's corresponding period. On a sequential basis, both profit and revenue showed steady growth, indicating sustained business momentum.
The most significant operational highlight was the announcement of two large strategic orders. Sanjay Lodha, Chairman and Managing Director of Netweb Technologies, revealed that the company secured orders worth approximately ₹21,840 million (₹2,184 crore). These orders, to be executed by FY27, are of national significance and are aimed at bolstering India's AI compute infrastructure, directly supporting the nation's vision for Sovereign AI.
Stock Performance and Future Outlook
Netweb Technologies' stock has been a standout performer. While the scrip is currently about 22% away from its 52-week high of ₹4,480 hit in October 2025, it has delivered multibagger returns from its 52-week low of ₹1,278.85, soaring almost 174% from that point.
Over the longer term, the stock has gained 21% in the last year, 91% in the past six months, and 68% in the last three months, despite a minor correction of 12% over the past month. The combination of financial strength, strategic national projects, and a recognized commitment to ESG principles positions Netweb Technologies as a key player in India's high-end computing and AI landscape.
