Shares of Waaree Energies, a prominent Indian solar energy company, fell by more than 5% following the US Commerce Department's announcement of a preliminary 123.04% anti-dumping duty on solar cells and panels imported from India. This duty is part of a broader investigation initiated after US manufacturers alleged that companies from India, Indonesia, and Laos were selling solar products at unfairly low prices, thereby undercutting American-made products. The announcement is particularly concerning for Waaree Energies, which derives a significant portion of its revenue from the US market. The total solar imports from these three countries amounted to approximately $4.5 billion, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the US solar market. The final decision regarding these duties is expected around July 13 for imports from India and Indonesia, and September 9 for Laos. Investors reacted negatively to the news, contributing to a broader market downturn, with Waaree Energies shares hitting an intraday low of ₹3,235.90.
