US Imposes Countervailing Duties on Indian Solar Imports
Background: The US authorities have imposed countervailing duties on solar imports from India, citing unfair government subsidies. This move has sent shockwaves through the market, leaving investors concerned about the implications for companies with significant export revenues.

Market Reaction: The stock price recovered slightly on Thursday, gaining less than 1%. However, the overall impact on the company's valuation and future prospects remains uncertain.
