Borosil Renewables German arm files for insolvency
Borosil Renewables Ltd is listed on the BSE as well as the NSE.
The decision follows a prolonged period of deteriorating market conditions in the European solar manufacturing ecosystem and reflects the company's intent to sharpen strategic focus on the rapidly growing Indian solar sector, the company said in a statement.
Borosil Renewables Ltd has announced that its German subsidiary, GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH, has filed for insolvency under German Insolvency Code (InsO) before the jurisdictional court at Cottbus, according to the statement.
GMB, with a capacity of 350 tonnes per day (TPD), had served European manufacturers of solar modules for their requirements of solar glass.
However, it stated that demand erosion became drastic last year, as Chinese manufacturers flooded the European market with severely underpriced solar modules.
European solar module manufacturers, amongst them stellar names like Meyer Berger started closing down.
Demand for solar glass dropped precipitously, as module manufacturers started shutting down.
"This decision reflects our clear-eyed view of where the future lies and the confidence we have in India's solar manufacturing story. With this step, we deepen our commitment to building scale and excellence in India, where the potential is vast, the policies are enabling, and the momentum is real. It is a forward-looking decision made with the long-term in mind," Borosil Renewables Ltd Chairman P Kheruka said in the statement.
In the event, from July 4, 2025 -- the date of the insolvency filing -- GMB's operations will be overseen by a court-appointed administrator in Germany.
Borosil will no longer account for GMB's financial losses, which had amounted to approximately ₹ 9 crore per month.
Borosil will have to assess and account for any impact, on account of the aforesaid insolvency resolution process of GMB, in the forthcoming quarterly results, as per the statement.

US markets today: Wall Street dips after Donald Trump announces new tariffs on EU and Mexico, investor eye earnings season
US stock markets edged lower Monday after President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on goods from the European Union and Mexico, raising concerns about renewed trade tensions. Despite the early pullback, major indexes remained near record highs as investors assessed the likelihood of a negotiated outcome before the August 1 deadline. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1% in early trade, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 78 points, or 0.2%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite inched up 0.1%, buoyed by gains in select technology stocks, AP reported. Futures had signalled a weak start earlier in the day, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq futures each retreating around 0.3% following Trump's announcement over the weekend that the US would impose 30% tariffs on a wide range of imports from the EU and Mexico starting next month. The move extends the administration's ongoing tariff campaign, which had previously targeted China and other major trading partners. The EU, America's largest economic partner, is expected to face significant economic fallout if the tariffs take effect. Analysts warned that the levies could raise prices for US consumers on European products ranging from cheese to electronics while rattling European economies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo In response, Germany's DAX index fell 1%, and France's CAC 40 dropped 0.5%. However, Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.4%, aided by its separate trade deal with the US post-Brexit. The Trump administration has extended its original deadline for new trade deals from July 10 to August 1, leaving a narrow window for potential negotiations. Analysts said they expected efforts to avoid escalation, with some projecting that talks could moderate the impact. On Wall Street, investor focus is also shifting toward earnings season, which kicks off Tuesday. JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup are among the top US banks set to report quarterly results.
