Triggers for Borosil Renewables share price

Highlighting the fundamental factors that are fueling Borosil Renewables share price, Parth Shah, Research Analyst at StoxBox, said, “Most solar energy-related stocks across the value chain, including Borosil Renewables, have witnessed traction in the last few trading sessions on expectations of improved business performance in future after the government announced a 10% basic customs duty on solar glass imports starting 1 October 2024. The proposed government move would benefit domestic manufacturers by limiting the import of solar glass from other countries. Also, the government's increased focus on implementing the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is expected to improve the offtake of solar panels. We believe that the company is poised to benefit in the medium to long term from the sectoral tailwinds along with its focus on improving its capacity and financial performance.”

Echoing StoxBox's views, Amit Goel, Co-Founder and Chief Global Strategist at Pace 360, said, “The solar industry is experiencing positive momentum as solar installations have grown significantly. Moreover, the government has mandated using only ALMM-certified modules in new projects. This regulation boosts domestic module manufacturing and, consequently, the demand for solar glass. The company is well-positioned to capitalize on this demand.”

"Furthermore, the capacity for producing solar glass has reached 2,300 tons per day, with Borosil Renewables being the world's largest non-Chinese-owned manufacturer. Demand will be further stimulated by the government's goal of installing rooftop solar systems on 10 million homes as part of the Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana. Overall, Borosil Renewables is well-prepared to take advantage of these sectoral tailwinds and growth opportunities," the Pace 360 expert said.

Breakout stock in making?
