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.

FTSE Index Inclusion to Bring $49 Million Inflows

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.

Waaree’s Strategic Expansion in the U.S. Adds Tailwinds

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.

Technical View

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."
