Waaree Renewable Technologies shares slide 6% amid US trade petition on Indian solar panel imports
Waaree Renewable Technologies
fell as much as 6.2% on Monday to Rs 1,112.35 on the BSE, following a report that a group of U.S. solar panel manufacturers had petitioned the Commerce Department to impose tariffs on imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos.
The petition, filed by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, accuses solar panel manufacturers in the three countries of dumping products at below-cost prices in the U.S. and receiving unfair government subsidies, according to a Reuters report. India is among the largest exporters of solar panels to the U.S.

According to the report, the petition marks the latest effort by the relatively small U.S. solar manufacturing sector to secure trade protection, aiming to safeguard recent multibillion-dollar investments and remain competitive against products largely made by Chinese firms operating overseas.
The petitioning group includes U.S.-based First Solar, Qcells (a division of Korea's Hanwha), and privately held companies Talon PV and Mission Solar. The same group previously succeeded in securing tariffs on imports from Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand, with those duties finalized earlier this year.
The report said the latest petition targets Chinese-owned firms accused of shifting production to Indonesia and Laos to bypass existing duties, while also directly accusing Indian-headquartered manufacturers of 'dumping cheap goods in the United States.' Imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos rose sharply to $1.6 billion in 2024 from $289 million in 2022, the petitioners noted.

Investigation window
The Commerce Department has 20 days from the date of filing to decide whether to launch a formal investigation. Reuters noted that cases involving anti-dumping and countervailing duties typically take about a year to reach a final tariff decision.
Most solar panels installed in the U.S. are produced overseas, though domestic capacity has expanded from 7 gigawatts in 2020 to 50 GW in 2025, fueled by tax incentives under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Despite this, local output still lags behind projected demand, with the U.S. solar market expected to install nearly 43 GW annually through 2030, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
Strong Q1 showing
The selloff in Waaree shares comes despite the company reporting robust earnings for the June quarter. Last week,
Waaree Renewable
posted a net profit of Rs 86.44 crore for Q1 FY26, up 205% from Rs 28.30 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations more than doubled year-on-year to Rs 603.18 crore, rising 155% from Rs 236.35 crore.
Sequentially, revenue rose 25.6% over the March quarter. However, total expenses surged 146% year-on-year to Rs 491.44 crore.
In the previous quarter, the company had reported an 83% rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 93.76 crore, with the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) business accounting for nearly all of its revenue at Rs 469.72 crore. Revenue from power sales remained stable at Rs 6.85 crore.
Despite recent gains—up 14% in the past month and nearly 11% over the last six months—Waaree shares remain down 20.3% year-to-date and have fallen 39% over the past 12 months.

Ready to pay price to protect farmers, says Modi as Trump increases tariff rate
India would make no compromise with the interests of its farmers and the country is ready to pay any price for it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, remarks apparently made in response to President Donald Trump's decision to impose an effective tariff rate of 50% on exports to the US. Prime Minister Narendra Modi. (PTI) A day earlier, India fired back at Trump's move by calling it 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable', vowing to protect national interests amid a growing fallout between the two countries that have long been strategic partners. 'The interests of our farmers are our topmost priority. India will never compromise the interests of its farmers, its cattle rearers and fisherfolk,' Modi said, addressing an event in New Delhi to commemorate the centenary birth anniversary of MS Swaminathan, the architect of the country's green revolution. 'I know I'll have to pay a big price for this personally, but I'm prepared. India today is prepared to protect its farming community at any cost.' The White House said on Wednesday that Trump signed an executive order imposing a 25% levy on Indian imports for the country's purchases of Russian oil, which comes on top of a 25% tariff he had announced last week. India and the US failed to hammer a bilateral trade pact after several rounds of negotiations, despite Trump's hint in the middle of the talks that a 'beautiful big deal' was imminent. India's refusal to open up its farm, fishery, and dairy sectors was one of the main sticking points. On Thursday, Modi made it clear that India would continue protecting the agriculture sector, which accounts for nearly 18% of the country's gross domestic product and employs millions of poor cultivators who mostly own tiny land parcels. 'The strength of our farmers and agriculture is the very basis for the development of our country. That's why our policies are not just aimed at helping our farmers, but to increase their confidence,' Modi said. Trump's taunt that India could buy oil from Pakistan did not sit well with New Delhi, and the country has also rejected repeated claims by Trump that he brokered a truce between India and Pakistan by using trade as a lever. The MS Swaminathan Foundation also conferred the first MS Swaminathan Prize for Food and Peace to Nigerian scientist Ademola A Adenle, the founder of Africa Sustainability Innovation-Academy. Modi released a commemorative ₹100 coin and a postage stamp in honour of Swaminathan, who collaborated with Norman Borlaug, a Nobel laureate, to customise for India a high-yielding wheat variety Borlaug developed for poverty-stricken Mexico in the 1950s. This wheat type paved the way for an Indian green revolution.

T & T Group Eyes Raj Nagar Extension with Residential Project Worth Rs. 700 Crore
BusinessWire India Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 7: Raj Nagar Extension, long known for its affordability, may soon see a shift in its residential landscape. T & T Group is preparing to launch a premium housing project in the area, with an estimated worth of Rs. 700 crore, which is expected to significantly expand its market share in the luxury housing market. Spread across 3.25 acres, the upcoming project will feature over one million square feet of built-up area and offer 3 and 4 BHK apartments across Ground + 16-storey towers. The design reportedly draws from Victorian and Tudor architecture, aiming to blend aesthetic detail with contemporary comfort. While most housing in Raj Nagar Extension has leaned towards functionality, this development signals a shift--geared toward residents who want elevated living without moving to Noida or Gurgaon. At its center will be a landscaped green promenade designed for community use. In a quieter corner, the project will feature a mini forest with a small lake, offering a rare nature-filled retreat within the city. "There's always been demand here for better-designed homes. People just didn't have the option," said Shivam Tyagi, Director - Operations, T & T Group. "We're trying to raise the bar for what's possible in places like Raj Nagar Extension." The homes are expected to be digitally equipped, aligning with T & T's tech-first approach. But observers note that the project's real impact may lie in how it repositions Raj Nagar Extension--challenging the idea that premium homes must come with a longer commute or a big-name pin code. With strong connectivity to Delhi, Noida, and central Ghaziabad via the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, the area offers logistical appeal. If executed as planned, the project could influence future development trends in the region--and offer a more aspirational option to homebuyers seeking quality living closer to home.
