SUMMARY
Solar energy stocks: The duties, according to reports, aim to benefit domestic manufacturers, but they heighten uncertainty for an industry not favoured by US President Donald Trump and threaten to increase costs for producers as well as for consumers.

Waaree Energies tumbled as much as 14.2% to ₹2,591.1 on the NSE. Premier Energies shares were also down 10% at ₹699.35 apiece on the NSE. However, the stock saw recovery later.
Vikram Solar shares plummeted over 7.5% lower to ₹171 apiece on the NSE in the early trade.
According to news reports, while Waaree Energies and Vikram Solar have meaningful export exposure to the US market, Premier Energies’ share is negligible. As a result, the decline in Premier Energies’ stock appears to be largely driven by spillover sentiment rather than direct business impact.
The rates are based on a determination of foreign subsidies that the US says allowed exporters from the countries to undercut products from domestic solar producers.
The report added that while the duties aim to benefit domestic manufacturers, they heighten uncertainty for an industry not favoured by US President Donald Trump and threaten to increase costs for producers as well as for consumers.
These duties are distinct from the sweeping global tariffs previously announced by Donald Trump, which were struck down by the US Supreme Court last week.
In response, Trump introduced fresh 10% tariffs, warning that they could be increased to 15%. Earlier this month, the US president had also finalised a bilateral trade agreement with India aimed at easing economic tensions between the two nations.
According to BloombergNEF, India, Indonesia, and Laos together accounted for 57% of solar module imports into the US during the first half of 2025. Developers had increasingly turned to these markets after Washington imposed steep duties on four Southeast Asian countries that had previously supplied the bulk of US imports.
Data from the US Commerce Department show that solar imports from India were valued at $792.6 million in 2024 — more than nine times the level recorded in 2022.
