Green Stocks Dec 1- Market Trips, Drags Down Green Pack Too After bright Start

A good start to the month seemed a real possibility today, only to dissipate within a couple of hours as profit booking in the broader market took its toll on the small and mid-cap stocks as well. That meant every green stock that did make some gains gave up most by closing, with others continuing to fight a losing battle against thin trading amidst selling pressure. 

Global signals remain skewed towards a positive for India, be it the better-than-expected growth figures or the chances of further rate cuts globally and in India. From developers to EPCs, we have already seen the critical role of lower rates on margins. And one hopes that the story will eventually follow the script. Until then, it does look like coping with some tough weeks yet, as the market finds a level where everyone who matters is convinced that things can only get better. 

For the green pack, what many are terming one of the worst performances in three decades seems much worse, considering the heights that mot of these stocks have seen and retreated from, but it might be time to realign expectations to a new, more sober reality of hard won margins and market share protection being rewarded for the best, while the others struggle to catch up. 2025 is already looking like the biggest year ever for green energy in India, as it should, so no surprises there. The question in everyone's mind probably is, will 2026 deliver an encore? We believe it is more than probable, and would ask readers to keep an eye on this column to track the big winners when that happens.
