Sluggish EV adoption and long testing cycles force India’s leading battery makers into telecom and energy storage projects for quick cash flow while big automaker orders remain pending.

Against that, the stock is -0.5% on the day at ₹754.10, and has returned -22.2% over three months. It sits 22% below its 52-week high. The auto sector has moved -4.7% over the same period, so Amara Raja is running 17.5 points behind its peers.

For Amara Raja, the question is how much of this is already reflected in the price and how much re-rates the auto peer set alongside it.

  • The shift to renewables is redrawing which energy names are structural winners versus stranded.
  • In focus: Amara Raja (ARE&M), in Auto.
  • Over three months: Amara Raja -22.2% against Auto -4.7% (17.5 points behind).
