Indian Green & Battery Stocks Roundup – August 06: Eveready Energizes Rally; High Energy, Waaree Surge; Mixed Sentiment Keeps Sector Range-Bound

Battery stocks traded in a mixed fashion, with some select counters strongly rebounding while others remained under pressure from profit-booking. The sentiment across green energy and battery stocks in general was cautious but selectively positive, as investors weighed the implications of immediate-term consolidation against longer-term growth prospects in terms of electrification and energy storage.

Eveready Industries India Ltd. led the gainers’ pack with a robust 4.20% jump to ₹416.35, bouncing back sharply after a previous week of losses, driven likely by bargain buying and renewed optimism in the consumer battery segment.

High Energy Batteries jumped up 2.91% to ₹587, reversing its short-term under-performance, and Waaree Technologies posted a solid 1.99% gain, closing at ₹300.25, which may reflect investor confidence in solar-integrated battery solutions.

Indo-National Ltd. only managed a marginal increase of 0.12% and thus remained flat in the midst of market chaos. Tata Power, the key player in green energy moving into battery storage, closed flat at ₹385.55.

However, pressure persisted on several frontline battery stocks. Amara Raja Energy slipped 2.22% to ₹930.4, while CLN Energy Ltd. and HBL Engineering Ltd. declined 1.97% and 1.36%, respectively. Exide Industries, a heavyweight in the battery sector, also ended lower by 0.83%, and Panasonic Energy India marginally dropped 0.13%, pausing after the prior day’s gains.

Despite the volatility seen early this year, battery stocks are still central to India’s clean energy aspirations, and are benefitting The market has tailwinds from the government initiatives, interest in EV adoption, and lack of cost-effective solutions for battery storage other than decentralized storage like microgrids.
