Battery and green energy stocks wrapped up August 11 trading on a mixed note, with sharp moves seen in select counters. The session was marked by a standout rally in HBL Engineering Ltd., which surged 14.03% to ₹683.95, making it the day’s biggest gainer among battery stocks. The sharp rise was fueled by bullish sentiment around its expanding order book and potential new contracts in the defense and rail segments.
Amara Raja Energy also posted a strong gain of 2.17%, closing at ₹955.2, supported by sustained interest from institutional investors betting on the company’s diversification into lithium-ion and next-generation battery storage solutions. CLN Energy Ltd. rose 1.99% to ₹496.7, continuing its upward trajectory on optimism over new clean energy projects. Waaree Technologies rose 1.74% to ₹298.1, presumably on its expansion of its solar-plus-storage business, and Indo-National Ltd. rose 1.61% to ₹474.7.
Tata Power, a diversified clean energy major, gained 1.45% to ₹384.3, amid reports of progress in its battery energy storage and EV charging network expansion. Exide Industries, one of the country’s largest battery makers, inched up 0.53% to ₹377.65, maintaining steady sentiment ahead of key announcements expected in the coming weeks. Eveready Industries India Ltd. ended flat with a marginal 0.05% gain at ₹408.95.
On the downside, High Energy Batteries dropped 2.00% to ₹632.2, possibly on profit booking after recent gains. Panasonic Energy India saw a sharper correction of 2.74%, closing at ₹342, amid muted volumes.
Regardless of the mixed action, stock sector dealing in battery stocks is still a hot spot for investors, driven by India’s accelerating towards clean energy and the building of energy storage capacity. Analysts pointed out the demand for advanced battery technologies, grid storage systems, and infrastructure for EVs seems to hold promise for the near future. There is new tenders and future incentives under the PLI scheme, and government are talking about gigafactory and making battery prices competitive in business to move to renewable energy employment and spurring job creation. Given the foreseeable fresh activities, I maintain my view on the battery space as we will continue to see capex spend on the build out of long run-outs for battery storage projects, even if there are short term moves.
