Mercury EV-Tech stock was on a volatile trading day, with the benchmark indices recording sharp corrections, but the stock performed well and rose by almost 5 per cent in intraday trade. This recovery was in the face of investors grappling with geopolitical headwinds, which were occasioned by imposing another 25 per cent US tariff on Indian imports.

Broader Market Under Pressure

The domestic equity market was under pressure as the US President Donald Trump granted a new tax on Indian trade, doubling the total tariff on imports of oil-related products to 50 per cent. This action, aimed at the perpetual Indian oil purchases of Russian oil, sent the investor mood into a negative mood.

Early trade collapsed the BSE Sensex by 508.16 points to 80,278.38 and the NSE Nifty 50 by 157.35 points to 24,554.70. Foreign institutional investors’ pullouts, coupled with world uncertainty, increased the fall as observed by the market observers.

The incremental tariff also adds a new twist to the trade position of India, and equity markets are responding to the risk calculatedly, according to a market strategist of Mumbai.

Mercury EV-Tech Stock: Outlier in a Declining Market

Mercury EV-Tech stock overcame its initial losses at a time when the major indices declined. The scrip started at a fall of 2.08 per cent and soared to an intra-day high of 51.95 and fell to 51.34, a 4.88 per cent rise.

The company, whose operations lie within the electric vehicle and allied technology sector, has a market capitalisation of 975.13 crore. The movement of the counter was especially crucial when it stopped a three-day unsuccessful streak and indicated the ability to withstand the general market downturns.

Mercury EV-Tech stock technically trades above 5-day and 20-day averages, whereas it is under the much more important 50-day, 100-day and 200-day averages. This crossroad positioning implies short-term optimism; however, caution is observed in the long run.

Historical Performance: Spectacular but Volatile

The long-term experience of the stock has been both a tale of tremendous expansion and severe corrections. The scrip reached its 52-week high of 139.20 on October 3, 2024. Comparatively, it reached a one-year low of ₹45 on August 19, 2025, and this indicates high volatility.

5-year return: 8,600%

3-year return: 749%

2-year return: 46%

1-year correction: -30%

Year-to-date (YTD): -45%

This sudden turn of direction indicates the very nature of the threats small-cap investors have to deal with: spectacular short-term returns may transform into equally sudden declines.

Why Did the Stock Rise Today?

Technical buying is the reason analysts point to the current rebound. The counter showed to be oversold by the end of the week, after plummeting drastically in the previous week, which brought bargain hunters. In addition, small-cap EV-specific companies are structurally well-positioned in the long run due to the ambitious electrification policy of the government and the increasing use of green mobility solutions domestically.

The second reason may be the perception that the US tariffs, though harmful to some industries, may not have a tangible effect on smaller, niche technology firms like Mercury EV-Tech.

Market Context: Discipline and Consistency Required

How the Mercury EV-Tech stock was able to withstand the performance during the period of market decline is a measure of how discipline and clarity are important to investors. The behaviour of small-cap equities requires more focus and consistency since they tend to be volatile. The current surge can provide a temporary fix, but long-term payoffs rely on the prospect of trust in fundamentals, long-term profitability and risk management.

To investors in EV smallcaps, as one broker put it, it is vital to weigh enthusiasm about the sector’s expansion with caution about steep volatility. Mercury EV-Tech has created an unbelievable amount of wealth over the last few years, but to sustain confidence, patience and long-term vision are essential.

Outlook

The present rebound was a welcome reprieve, but Mercury EV-Tech stock is still a long way off its 52-week highs. As the tariff tensions keep rising, investor behaviour may remain cautious in the short term. Nevertheless, the structural dynamics of the EV industry, which is characterised by regulatory underpinnings, technology-assisted, and sustainability considerations, offer a consistent framework on which the company’s positioning can rely.

To traders, the rise of the stock above the short-term averages represents tactical opportunities, whereas long-term investors will have to track its performance with the bigger market corrections.

The resiliency of Mercury EV-Tech speaks to the fact that small-cap counters can continue to yield even then when the macroeconomic environment is unkind. As long as there is volatility, there are still chances for the investor who stays disciplined and has a clear plan.

The completion of the solar plant marks a key milestone in the company’s sustainability journey, strengthening operational resilience and cost efficiency while supporting India’s renewable energy goals. At the same time, it enhances the company’s global competitiveness by lowering energy costs and aligning with international ESG standards, positioning the company to expand exports across Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East through high-volume, compliance-driven partnerships.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Punit Gopala, Managing Director and CEO of Bulkcorp International Limited, said, “The commissioning of Project Urja is a defining moment in the company’s sustainability journey. By investing in renewable energy, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint and strengthening cost efficiency, but also aligning with India’s clean energy mission and international ESG benchmarks.

New Delhi [India], August 25: In a saturated market of overpriced “luxury” names and disappointing budget footwear, Drewknot is breaking the mould. As a legitimate bridge between fashion and affordability, the brand is a direct call-out to Millennials and Gen Zers who demand better than hollow hype. Led by Anurag Mishra, a retail expert with nearly two decades of experience at global and Indian fashion industry titans such as Adidas, Aditya Birla Fashion, Arvind, Reliance, and Kazo, Drewknot is fast becoming a refreshing change that harmoniously balances premium quality with transparent pricing.

At its essence, Drewknot Footwear is about creativity, strength, and togetherness. The name itself is a reflection of this: “Drew,” stemming from the past participle of draw, is what represents creativity, while “knot” is what signifies strength and togetherness. Combined, they are the roots of a label not only to sell sneakers but to build a movement based on pride, trust, and meaningful design.

The Philosophy of True Pricing

Drewknot’s strongest differentiator is its “true pricing” philosophy. As opposed to other fashion players exaggerating prices in the name of being exclusive or skimping on quality to fit into price segments, Drewknot holds its ground for fairness and authenticity. Each rupee a customer pays is accounted for by value—longevity, comfort, and workmanship.

This philosophy is especially appealing to Millennials and Gen Z, two groups that expect honesty, authenticity, and accountability from brands. Fashion is no longer primarily about beauty for them; it is about values alignment and quality trust.

In-House R&D and Exclusive Manufacturing

Drewknot’s ownership of its manufacturing and R&D makes it stand out in India’s fashion community. While most startups depend on contract manufacturing, Drewknot owns the entire manufacturing process—from design sketches to final sneakers.

This in-house capacity guarantees:

Design originality, free from knockoff designs.

Increased detail attention, resulting in high-end finishes. Creative materials and technologies, like comfort-focused soles, insoles, high-end leather Material, and eco-friendly Leather & Vegan Leather for long-lasting extra comfort.

Agility, enabling the company to keep pace with trends without compromising quality.
The outcome is a shoe that combines fashion with daily usability, designed to match the pace of urban, young consumers’ lifestyles.

Backed by Proven Leadership

Anurag Mishra’s leadership is the cornerstone of Drewknot’s credibility. Having experience in working across D2C, offline retail, and mass-scale fashion businesses, he understands consumer psychology across different markets. His vision extends beyond margins; it is about creating a brand of pride—a brand to which consumers, employees, and partners equally feel close.

A Phased Growth Model

In contrast to other brands pursuing rapid expansion, Drewknot is taking the road of prudence. Phase one sees it debuting sneakers and footwear essentials. In the subsequent financial year, the brand will expand into bags and then an apparel line.

The phased launch is a policy of strategic forbearance: venturing into categories when the firm is able to uphold its value proposition of affordability, genuineness, and high quality.

Rethinking Distribution Beyond Omni-Channel

Maybe the most revolutionary aspect of Drewknot’s vision is its take on distribution. Drewknot seeks to build a new-age merchandise distribution platform that breaks from the traditional omni-channel model.

Though details are under wraps, founder Anurag Mishra indicates this model will make every stakeholder—ranging from consumers to distributors—feel valued, motivated, and proud to be associated with the brand. Those in the industry believe that such a model could change the way Indian D2C brands interact with their publics and handle supply chains.

• Seven Bold Moves Defining Drewknot Footwear
• Embedding true pricing as the brand’s ethical foundation.
• Developing footwear through exclusive in-house R&D.
• Establishing end-to-end manufacturing control.
• Designing with purpose, passion, and precision.
• Expanding through a disciplined, phased rollout.
• Redefining distribution models beyond omni-channel.
• Building a brand of pride where stakeholders matter as much as customers.

More Than a Footwear Brand

For Drewknot, though, success isn’t about just transactional execution. The brand’s real goal is to deliver pride—whether for the user sporting its sneakers, the partner assisting to distribute them, or the designers creating them.

By combining affordability with innovation and transparency with quality, Drewknot Footwear has the potential to be more than merely another brand. It is evolving into a cultural force that redefines what it is to be an upper-end fashion brand for young India.

V. R. Hari Balaji – Dignity, Data, and the Bottom Line: How Hari Balaji Is Rewriting the Economics of Public Sanitation

In a nation where civic infrastructure too often slips into cost centres, V. R. Hari Balaji is rewriting the rules — turning public sanitation into a yield-generating asset class. A Swiss-trained hospitality graduate turned national disaster management consultant, he now leads one of India’s most ambitious urban-sanitation overhauls under the Greater Chennai Corporation’s DBFOT–HAM mandate. Before this, Hari Balaji spent nearly five years at the helm of public engagement and behaviour-change strategy for the world’s largest solid waste management DBFOT–HAM project in Chennai. There, he fused strategic communications with the operational discipline of complex, multi-stakeholder systems — aligning city administrators, private concessionaires, and millions of citizens under one performance-linked framework.

Drawing on professional exposure across Switzerland, the USA, Kuwait, India, and Singapore, Hari Balaji applies a formula of data-driven governance, IoT-enabled oversight, and citizen-first design. Under his watch, public toilets are not built to be maintained — they are built to yield. His approach reframes sanitation as part of a city’s economic architecture, proving that essential services can compound dignity and value for decades.

Nationally honoured for humanitarian service, Hari Balaji operates at the intersection of policy, engineering, and behavioural economics. For him, sanitation is not a service — it is a public statement of respect. In Chennai, that means progress is measured not by the height of its skyline, but by the dignity it affords every resident.

His mission is clear: when a city invests in dignity, it invests in its own future — and in doing so, sets a new global benchmark for how emerging markets finance, operate, and sustain essential services.
