Premier Energies Block Deal: 2.5 crore shares worth Rs 2,628 crore change hands at Rs 1,051.50 apiece
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 10, 2025, 08:57 IST Shares of Premier Energies Ltd. will be in focus on Tuesday, June 10, following a massive block deal. South Asia Growth Fund II Holdings has reportedly offloaded 2.5 crore shares,, in a deal valued at approximately Rs 2,628 crore. The transaction was executed at a price of Rs 1,051.50 per share, which is about a 1% discount to the previous close. As per exchange data, the block deal took place during Session 1, with all 2.5 crore shares changing hands at the fixed price, reflecting investor interest despite the bearish stance from analysts. Following the deal, South Asia Growth Fund will be under a 150-day lock-in, restricting further sales of Premier Energies shares during this period. As of March 2025, the fund held 11.1% in the company. Premier Energies' promoter group owns 64.3% of the company, while FIIs hold 3.0%, DIIs 8.7%, and public shareholders account for 23.4%. Despite positive growth prospects, Kotak Institutional Equities has maintained a 'sell' rating on the stock due to valuation concerns. The brokerage forecasts a 44% CAGR for the company from FY24 to FY30, but warned that the stock's high multiples outweigh the growth potential. India's solar sector, however, remains promising. The country aims to expand its renewable capacity to 500 GW by 2030, with solar expected to grow from 82 GW in FY24 to 214 GW by FY30, driven by utility-scale installations, rooftop solar, pumps, and industrial captive use.

2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview The Chevy Blazer EV is offered with a choice of front- or all-wheel drive and three trim levels. Power ranges from a sedate 220 horsepower on the front-drive LT to an exciting 615 horses on the all-wheel-drive SS. The front-wheel-drive LT and RS models are the distance kings, with an EPA range rating of 312 miles. Regardless of powertrain choice and driveline configuration, the Blazer EV delivers satisfying driving dynamics and a comfy ride, and it's all wrapped in a sporty, handsome package. There's good room inside for up to five, as well. Other sporty electric SUVs to consider include the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and the Tesla Model Y Performance. What's New for 2026? Chevrolet has eliminated the rear-wheel drive RS trim from the Blazer EV lineup for 2026, but that trim can still be had in front- or all-wheel drive arrangements. Polar White Tricoat replaces Iridescent Pearl Tricoat on the exterior color palette. A new Tech Bronze package is available on all models and adds 22-inch bronze wheels and black exterior decals. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV is expected to start around $47,000 and go up to $63,000 depending on the trim and options. LT FWD $47,000 (est) LT eAWD $50,000 (est) RS FWD $52,000 (est) RS eAWD $55,000 (est) SS $63,000 (est) 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k $80k $90k $100k We'd go with the mid-range RS model, which comes standard with cool 21-inch wheels, a power-operated hands-free liftgate, heated-and-ventilated front seats, a heated flat-bottomed steering wheel, and an illuminated Chevrolet bowtie logo. While the RS is offered in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, the AWD version has more horsepower while the FWD one offers more driving range. Want to compare the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV to other vehicles you're interested in? Our new compare tool provides a comprehensive, side-by-side look at up to five cars of your choice. Compare Cars EV Motor, Power, and Performance The entry-level Blazer EV LT and the mid-range RS trim are both available with either front- or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models come with a single 220-hp electric motor, while all-wheel-drive models are powered by two electric motors that combine for 300 horsepower. We drove an all-wheel-drive RS and found its acceleration to be adequate but far from thrilling. If your budget allows for it, the range-topping SS model comes exclusively with a 615-hp electric powertrain with standard all-wheel drive. Chevrolet has also endowed the Blazer EV with decent road manners. During our test drive, the RS delivered a smooth ride and predictable handling. We wish the steering offered more feedback, but body roll is kept well in check and the brakes are operated through a firm pedal that inspires confidence. Like other EVs, the Chevy utilizes a regenerative braking system, and when active it provides several levels of available regen, with the highest setting allowing for one-pedal driving. 0–60-MPH Times The all-wheel-drive Blazer RS we tested got to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, and the powerful Blazer EV SS knocked off the 60 mph mark in just 3.3 seconds, seventh-tenths quicker the 4.0-second figure quoted by Chevrolet. View Exterior Photos Chevrolet Range, Charging, and Battery Life The front-wheel-drive models boast the highest EPA estimated driving range of the lineup at 312 miles. Going with the all-wheel-drive version of either the RS or the LT drops that estimate to 283 miles. The powerful SS has a rated range of 303 miles. In our real-world 75-mph highway range test, the AWD Blazer EV RS achieved a result of 200 miles while an AWD LT model managed 210 miles. The Blazer EV is capable of charging on a DC fast-charger, and Chevrolet says it can charge at up to 190 kW and add about 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPGe The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Blazer EV yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings as high as 106 MPGe city, 85 MPGe highway, and 95 MPGe combined. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. For more information about the Blazer EV's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo The Blazer EV is strictly a two-row affair, but both the front and rear seats are spacious and comfortable for adults. All models come with a sporty interior design motif that nicely matches the SUV's aggressive exterior styling. Round air vents flank the dashboard, and in RS and SS trims Chevrolet has adopted a two-tone black-and-red color scheme. A more monotone look is available for those who don't appreciate the flash. Folding the rear seats down expands the 26-cubic-foot cargo area to a much larger 60-cubic-foot space with a flat floor that makes it easy to load bulkier items. When we get a chance, we'll rate the Blazer EV's cargo capacity with our carry-on suitcase test and update this story with the results. View Interior Photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Infotainment and Connectivity All models come with a large 17.7-inch infotainment display that's canted slightly toward the driver and framed on the left and the bottom by physical controls for the climate control system and a volume knob. A secondary 11.0-inch display presents the driver with gauges and other driving info. The Blazer EV's infotainment system is GM's latest version and uses Google Built-In. The software provides easy access to popular apps such as Spotify, Waze, and Google Maps, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are not offered. That may irk some drivers, many of our staffers included, but overall, the interface is easy to use. The navigation system is especially informative, giving a remaining-range estimate for your final destination and also suggestions for charging stations along the route. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Chevrolet bundles a host of driver-assistance features together as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a parking assist feature. GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system is also available. For more information about the Blazer EV's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist Available adaptive cruise control with hands-free driving mode Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Chevrolet provides standard coverage limits for the Blazer EV's electric powertrain components. It also includes a complimentary first maintenance visit, but overall coverage doesn't come close to that of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. Limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles Electric components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles Complimentary maintenance is covered for the first visit Specifications Specifications 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS Vehicle Type: front- and rear-motor, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door wagon PRICE Base: $62,095 POWERTRAIN Front Motor: permanent-magnet synchronous AC Rear Motor: permanent-magnet synchronous AC Combined Power: 615 hp Combined Torque: 650 lb-ft Battery Pack: liquid-cooled lithium-ion, 102 kWh Onboard Charger: 11.5 kW Peak DC Fast-Charge Rate: 190 kW Transmissions, F/R: direct-drive DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 121.8 in Length: 192.6 in Width: 78.0 in Height: 64.8 in Passenger Volume, F/R: 59–61/48–50 ft3 Cargo Volume, Behind F/R: 59–60/26 ft3 Curb Weight (C/D est): 5650 lb PERFORMANCE (C/D EST) 60 mph: 3.4 sec 100 mph: 8.0 sec 1/4-Mile: 11.8 sec Top Speed: 120 mph EPA FUEL ECONOMY Combined/City/Highway: 79/88/71 MPGe Range: 303 mi C/D TESTING EXPLAINED 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD Vehicle Type: front- and rear-motor, all-wheel-drive, 5-passenger, 4-door wagon PRICE Base/As Tested: $54,595/$55,090 POWERTRAIN Front Motor: permanent-magnet AC, 241 hp, 225 lb-ft Rear Motor: induction AC, 90 hp, 121 lb-ft Combined Power: 288 hp Combined Torque: 333 lb-ft Battery Pack: liquid-cooled lithium-ion, 85.0 kWh Onboard Charger: 11.5 kW Peak DC Fast-Charge Rate: 150 kW Transmissions, F/R: direct-drive CHASSIS Suspension, F/R: struts/multilink Brakes, F/R: 12.5-in vented disc/13.6-in disc Tires: Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 Enliten 275/45R-21 107H M+S TPC 3187 B-Seal DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 121.8 in Length: 192.2 in Width: 78.0 in Height: 65.0 in Passenger Volume, F/R: 61/50 ft3 Cargo Volume, Behind F/R: 60/26 ft3 Curb Weight: 5227 lb C/D TEST RESULTS 60 mph: 6.0 sec 1/4-Mile: 14.8 sec @ 93 mph 100 mph: 17.8 sec Results above omit 1-ft rollout of 0.3 sec.
