Waaree Energies soars over 11% on FTSE index rejig; stock nears ₹3,000-mark
Shares of Waaree Energies surged over 11 percent on Friday, June 20, after reports confirmed the stock's likely inclusion in the upcoming FTSE global index rejig. The counter jumped to an intraday high of ₹ 2,975, as investors rushed to price in passive inflows ahead of the revision's implementation.
London-based Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) is set to announce its latest index composition changes on June 20, with the resultant inflows expected to begin from June 23. As per brokerage estimates, Waaree Energies could attract $49 million in passive investments from global funds tracking the index.
Other stocks expected to benefit include Vishal Mega Mart with inflows pegged at $115 million, Hyundai Motor India at $56 million, Swiggy at $32 million, and NTPC Green Energy at $22 million. Afcons Infrastructure, OneSource Specialty Pharma, Sai Life Sciences, and Inventurus Knowledge are also set to enter the FTSE radar.
The inclusion not only increases liquidity but also enhances global visibility for Waaree, which has gained prominence in recent quarters as a major solar module supplier.
While the index development lifted sentiment, Waaree Energies also gained from positive media commentary around its resilience to U.S. policy changes, particularly former President Donald Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill', which proposes cutting back renewable energy incentives.
The company has continued to gain traction in the U.S. market. Its American subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas, has recently secured multiple large contracts, including a 586 MW module supply deal and a 599 MW order from top independent power producers
To meet growing demand, Waaree plans to double the capacity at its Brookshire, Texas facility to 3.2 GW by end of 2025—a move seen as strategically vital to cementing its global market position.
With Friday's upmove, the stock now trades 22 percent below its 52-week high of ₹ 3,740.75, touched in November 2024. It had earlier slumped to a 52-week low of ₹ 1,808.65 in April 2025, indicating a wide trading range over the past year.
While June has so far seen a 2.3 percent decline, the stock had gained 14.4 percent in May, 8.3 percent in April, and 11.4 percent in March, following double-digit declines in February (-10%) and January (-16%).
Importantly, Waaree Energies has now rallied nearly 98 percent from its IPO price of ₹ 1,503, underlining investor confidence in its execution and prospects.
Kunal Kamble, Sr. Technical Research Analyst at Bonanza said, "Waaree Energies is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern on the daily time frame a bullish continuation setup that indicates accumulation and potential breakout. The stock showed strong buying interest from the support zone in today's session, supported by above-average volume, reinforcing bullish sentiment.
It has managed to close decisively above the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, signaling a positive shift in short to medium-term trends. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is placed at 62.19 and is sloping upward, suggesting strengthening bullish momentum. A decisive breakout above the ₹ 3050 level could attract fresh buying interest, potentially propelling the stock toward ₹ 3300 in the near term.
Technical signals are aligning positively, and traders should keep a close watch for a breakout confirmation to ride the next leg of the rally."

Summons sent to lawyer for his role as co's ind dir: ED
Representative Image NEW DELHI: Faced with criticism, Enforcement Directorate Friday said it issued summons to senior advocate Pratap Venugopal as part of its ongoing investigation against Care Health Insurance Ltd (CHIL) in which Venugopal was an independent director. ED's Mumbai zonal office is conducting a money laundering investigation in which it has been alleged that shares of CHIL were issued at a much lower price in the form of ESOPs on May 1, 2022, in spite of the rejection of the same by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). "As part of the investigation, summons was issued to Pratap Venugopal, an independent director of CHIL, to understand the circumstances under which the company has issued ESOPs despite its rejection by IRDAI and subsequent discussions in the board of CHIL in this regard," the agency said about the summons which it withdrew after protests by lawyers' bodies. In a statement, the agency emphasised that IRDAI on July 23, 2024, had directed CHIL to revoke or cancel any ESOPs that were yet to be allotted and had also imposed a penalty of Rs 1 crore on CHIL for non-compliance with regulatory directions. "In view of the fact that Pratap Venugopal is a senior advocate in Supreme Court, the summons issued to him has been withdrawn and the same has been communicated to him," the agency said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In the said communication, it was also stated that if any documents were required from him in his capacity as an independent director of CHIL, the same would be requested to be submitted by email, the agency added. Further, ED has asked its units not to issue summons to lawyers, saying summoning them would be violative of Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. "If any summons needs to be issued under the exceptions carved out in proviso to Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, the same shall be issued only with the prior approval of the director, ED," the agency said.

DHL shuts down across Canada as 2,100 workers strike and new anti-scab law triggers chaos
DHL Express Canada suspended operations nationwide on Friday(June 20), halting thousands of parcel deliveries and disrupting major supply chains, as a labor strike coincided with the introduction of new federal legislation banning the use of replacement workers. The shutdown follows nearly two weeks of stalled contract negotiations between DHL and Unifor , Canada's largest private-sector union. The standoff escalated on June 8 when the company locked out 2,100 unionized workers, including truck drivers, clerks, and warehouse staff, across Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec. In response, Unifor launched a strike, citing unfair labor practices and insufficient wage proposals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Luxury 2, 3, 4 & 4.5 Bed Homes in South Mumbai at Piramal Mahalaxmi | South Tower Ready to Move In Piramal Mahalaxmi Learn More Undo New 'anti-scab' legislation Friday's operations freeze coincides with the federal government 's new 'anti-scab' legislation (Bill C-58), which officially came into effect the same day. The law prohibits federally regulated companies, like DHL, from hiring replacement workers during strikes or lockouts, a long-standing demand from organized labor. Live Events DHL, a German-based logistics giant with about 50,000 Canadian customers, including Lululemon, Shein, and Siemens , had continued partial operations using temporary hires during the initial days of the dispute. But as the law loomed, the company began winding down services earlier this week. 'DHL has shut down operations nationally,' Unifor said in a statement Friday morning. 'This is the real-world impact of corporate refusal to bargain fairly, and a significant test of Canada's new labor protections.' Union President Lana Payne accused the company of undermining workers by legally using replacement labor before June 21, a tactic she says damaged trust and bargaining momentum. DHL has not denied the use of replacement workers. The dispute stems from Unifor's demand for a 22 percent wage increase over three years and stronger protections for owner-operator drivers who face rising costs for fuel, vehicles, and insurance. DHL has proposed a 15 percent increase over five years, alongside limited bonuses and pension improvements. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu confirmed she met with both parties on Wednesday after DHL formally requested government intervention to restore operations. So far, Ottawa has not indicated it will step in. In the meantime, shipments remain frozen in DHL facilities, and businesses are scrambling to switch to alternate carriers like FedEx and Purolator.
