Management Commentary
Executive Chairman Mr. P.K. Kheruka stated the company delivered a strong half-yearly performance. He noted that India's solar manufacturing ecosystem continues to expand, supported by capacity additions and long-term renewable energy ambitions. The company's 60% expansion is aimed at enhancing its ability to address growing demand for solar glass and reduce import dependence for the country. Priorities remain focused on improving operating performance, enhancing manufacturing efficiencies, and creating sustainable value for stakeholders.
Operational & Strategic Updates
Realization and Margin Dynamics
- Q2 realizations moderated due to a reduction in fuel surcharge by approximately ₹9.50/sq. m, following a temporary decline in gas prices.
- A routine furnace maintenance led to a slight dip in production, weighing on gross margins.
- The decline in gas prices was short-lived, and realizations have reverted near Q1FY27 levels in Q3. Earnings are expected to revert back with subsequent rise in production levels and increase in selling price.
- The company reported a 28.6% EBITDA margin for Q2.
- The captive solar-wind hybrid plant supplied 78% of renewable power needs in H1FY27.
Capacity Expansion
- The company is expanding its installed solar glass capacity by 60%, from 1,000 TPD (~6.5 GW module equivalent) to 1,600 TPD (~10.5 GW module equivalent).
- The expansion involves adding 600 TPD across two new lines (SG-4 & SG-5).
- The expansion plan was re-activated upon the imposition of anti-dumping duties on solar glass imports and is on schedule for furnace commissioning in March 2027.
Market Opportunity & Demand Drivers
- A significant supply gap exists in the domestic solar glass market. Current domestic capacity is 2,900 TPD (~17.4 GW) against a demand of 10,400 TPD (~62 GW), leaving a gap of 7,500 TPD (~44.6 GW).
- Domestic capacity is expected to rise to 7,900 TPD (~47.4 GW) by March 2027, still leaving a supply gap.
- Key demand drivers include government support leading to 45 GW (62 GW DC) installations in 2025-26, customs duties on imports (9.71% CVD on Malaysia, higher anti-dumping on China/Vietnam), and growing demand from new applications, storage, and policy support.
- India's total installed power capacity is ~559 GW as of September 2026, with renewables at 44% (~247 GW). Solar capacity stands at 171 GW (69% of renewable capacity). The national target is 280 GW by 2030, recently raised to 500 GW by 2036.
