HONG KONG, Dec 23 (Reuters) - India's flagship equity indices, Sensex .BSESN and Nifty 50 .NSEI, are near all-time highs, despite underperforming many Asian peers. Yet this exuberance hides another reality: many stocks are trading near their 52-week lows. These beaten-down names may offer investors some attractive year-end bargains.

While Indian equities are up some 9.5% for the year as a whole, this rally is concentrated in a relatively small group of firms.

When looking at the shares of 828 Indian companies with more than $500 million in market value, stocks of 109 were within 5% of their 52‑week lows and another 139 were only slightly above this level, as of December 5. In combination, these two categories of flagging stocks are roughly double the number of large Indian stocks trading close to 52‑week highs.

It's easy to assume these stocks are cheap for a reason, but, in many cases, their fundamentals tell a different story. For many of these laggards, earnings growth forecasts are robust, their balance sheets are healthy, and their valuations remain reasonable.

In fact, 14 of the 109 beaten‑down stocks clear a high bar, with expected earnings per share growth of more than 10% through 2027, low net debt, and price‑to‑earnings ratios at or below their forecast growth, according to the FactSet consensus.

Many are well‑known, liquid stocks, including four companies worth over $1 billion: Inox Wind INWN.NS, the telecommunications firm HFCL HFCL.NS, Tata Chemicals TTCH.NS, and logistics heavyweight Blue Dart BLDT.NS. All have strong projected earnings growth, with Blue Dart's forecast coming in the lowest at a still strong 28%.

WHAT SANK THEM?

Their declines are not driven by any sector-specific issue, so why have they lagged?

Mostly because of idiosyncratic factors and investors' narrow focus on the artificial intelligence theme.

Inox Wind started the year looking expensive with a PE ratio of 29.6, and its July share issuance, priced below the market, raised concerns about dilution for minority shareholders.

Valuation was also a concern for Blue Dart at the beginning of 2025, as it was trading at a lofty 41 times earnings. Sentiment then worsened sharply after the government issued a demand for additional taxes on one of its subsidiaries in September.

Meanwhile, Tata Chemicals suffered due to a drop in the price of soda ash - its key product - and a production outage at its plant in the U.S.

Finally, HFCL has disappointed investors, as it started out the year with a high P/E ratio of 36.4 only to see revenue fall 24% in the first nine months. On top of this, its owners borrowed money using more than half of their shares as security, raising concerns that lenders might sell those shares if the price fell further.

None of these issues are insurmountable, but in a year when India fell out of favour with many foreign investors, even small concerns had a disproportionately large impact on stock prices.

YEAR-END BARGAIN-HUNTING

Another key issue weighing on many Indian equities this year has been the omnipresence of the artificial intelligence theme, which has dominated investor attention to the detriment of other themes and stocks. Markets often misprice stocks during these dramatic single‑theme phases, enabling “weaker” shares to eventually outperform, if the underlying fundamentals are strong.

This recently occurred in India as many solid companies that were heavily sold off in 2024 came to be stellar performers in 2025.

At the end of 2024, 98 stocks were trading at or near their 52‑week lows. Of these, 18 were "quality" companies, with strong earnings growth forecasts, solid balance sheets and reasonable growth‑adjusted valuations. Fifteen – nine of which had market capitalisations above $5 billion – have gone on to beat the Indian market’s 9.5% return this year through December 22.

Again, these companies had strong earnings forecasts, and their P/E ratios, with the exception of Reliance Industries’ RELI.NS, were at or below their expected growth rates. In hindsight, therefore, their impressive performance in 2025 was unsurprising.

Of course, this pattern may not play out again this year, especially given India’s still-elevated trade tensions with the U.S. Moreover, good investment options do become harder to come by in markets that have rallied sharply.

But, in reality, even in a strong market, one can often identify high‑quality stocks whose prices have been left behind. It’s just a matter of searching hard, and in the right places.

Aug 1 (Reuters) - India has introduced stringent norms for wind turbine equipment makers, requiring them to source key components domestically and comply with strict data localisation rules.

Manufacturers must now buy components like blades, towers, generators, gearboxes, and special bearings from vendors approved under a new government list, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) said in a notification late on Thursday.

A technical team constituted by MNRE will carry out inspections, and a separate standard operating procedure will be issued.

The approved list of models and manufacturers will be issued by the ministry separately, the notification said.

The directive also mandates that all wind turbine data be stored within India, prohibits real-time operational data transfers abroad, and requires operational control and research and development centres to be located in India within one year.

The move aims at promoting domestic wind turbine manufacturing industry in the country, which is now at 20 GW in annual manufacturing capacity, as per government data.

India aims for 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity - including hydro and nuclear - by 2030, nearly double the current 235.6 GW.

Exemptions apply to certain bid-out and near-term projects, while new models under exemption are capped at 800 MW over two years and must submit quarterly progress reports, the notification said.

The move is likely to benefit domestic wind equipment makers like Suzlon Energy SUZL.NS, Inox Wind INWN.NS and Adani Wind, and will likely be a setback for China's Envision Group, which has gained a stronghold in the Indian market.

MUMBAI, Dec 24 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Dealmaking is coming for India’s renewable energy industry in 2025. More than a dozen generators of wind and solar power are looking for new owners as private equity-style firms like Brookfield Asset Management, as well as industry players like Siemens and Enel, look for an exit. Despite New Delhi’s target of renewables providing half the country’s electricity by 2030, success isn’t assured.

Hitting that goal will require around $200 billion of investment, analysts at Nomura reckon. But companies are getting finicky about deploying capital in a market where tariffs for solar power – the single largest subcategory – have moved in a narrow range since 2019.

Sellers may be overly optimistic on valuations, too. Investment fund owners like Brookfield, GIC and Macquarie spent much of 2024 scouting for and haggling with prospective buyers. India’s Inox Wind hinted on an earnings call in October that the Siemens Gamesa wind assets it took a look at were overpriced.

Some deals are set for completion after months of wrangling. A unit of Malaysia’s Petronas has agreed to buy part of Brookfield’s portfolio for $900 million, the Economic Times reported in November. Other potential buyers include JSW Energy’s JSWE.NS renewables unit and Singapore’s Sembcorp. Perhaps the biggest test will be what happens to GIC’s 50% stake in Greenko, which has 7.5 gigawatts of net installed capacity; Bloomberg reported in October that the Singapore sovereign wealth fund was considering selling part or all of its holdings.

Those who cannot secure an industry sale do have another option: an initial public offering. Public markets in India are now seen as mature enough to buy into companies in emerging sectors with earnings some way off. That’s a far cry from 2021 when ReNew Energy RNW.O, the country’s second-largest green power producer by capacity, went public on Nasdaq by merging with a blank-cheque company.

State-owned NTPC Green Energy’s NTPG.NS strong public market debut in late 2024 will buoy sentiment. A listing may work best for companies that have scaled up to a couple of gigawatts, such as Brookfield-backed CleanMax, and Hero Future Energies, whose sponsors include KKR KKR.N. It could be harder for firms with smaller amounts of installed capacity and less or no cash flow.

The coming shakeout in Indian renewables will reveal whose capital New Delhi might be able to rely on as its 2030 goal looms.
