Consolidated revenue grew 108% YoY to INR 6,301.86 Cr in FY25. The EPC segment grew 114.7% to INR 6,064 Cr, while the O&M segment grew 12.2% to INR 236.1 Cr. 1H FY26 revenue reached INR 3,510 Cr, up 80% YoY from INR 1,946 Cr.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company has shifted focus primarily to the domestic Indian market, which now constitutes the majority of the INR 9,096 Cr order book. International operations span 25 countries including Africa, USA, Australia, and the Middle East, but domestic EPC projects are the primary growth driver.

Profitability Margins

Gross margins were 10.1% in FY25 but dipped to 8.9% in Q2 FY26. Net profit margin was 1.36% in FY25 (INR 85.55 Cr) compared to -6.94% in FY24. Q2 FY26 reported a PAT loss of INR 478 Cr due to exceptional write-offs.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin was 3.92% (INR 246.73 Cr) in FY25, a significant improvement from -0.74% in FY24. However, Q2 FY26 saw an EBITDA loss of INR 470 Cr due to a one-time INR 580 Cr write-off related to US arbitration.

Capital Expenditure

Not explicitly disclosed in INR Cr, but the company availed a new term loan of INR 700 Cr in FY25 to meet working capital and project requirements for its expanding order book.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are highly volatile; module-inclusive turnkey projects led to a gross margin dip from 11.7% in Q1 FY26 to 8.9% in Q2 FY26 as module supply carries lower margins than Balance of System (BoS) work.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Not applicable as the company is an EPC/O&M service provider; efficiency is measured by project execution speed and O&M margins (targeted at 20-23%).

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

Moat is built on strong promoter backing (Reliance Group), a massive 22.6 GWp execution track record, and an indemnity agreement that protects the balance sheet from legacy liabilities exceeding INR 300 Cr.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to global solar module price trends and interest rate fluctuations affecting project viability for clients.
