Strategic Priorities and Guidance
Revenue Mix Target
- Targeting 60-40 BESS to solar EPC revenue mix
FY27 Outlook
- Expected revenue: Approximately ₹2,000 crores (70-75% of current order book)
- Expected PAT margins: 8-11% range
- Growth expectation: 40-45% year-on-year
Margin Drivers and Headwinds
- BESS projects typically have better margin profile (14-15% PBT) compared to solar
- Current headwinds from elevated raw material prices (copper up 40%, aluminum up 50% since October 2025)
- Exchange rate impact (INR depreciation from 85-86 to 96 against USD)
- Geopolitical situation creating supply chain challenges
Market Context and Industry Overview
Industry Growth Projections
- India's solar capacity projected to reach 348.57 GW by 2031
- Global solar capacity expected to exceed 7 TW by end of decade
- BESS demand expected to grow from 30 GW to 250 GW by FY32
Policy Support
- Union Budget FY26 increased solar allocation by approximately 32%
- Initiatives including PM Surya Ghar, PM KUSUM, and National Green Hydrogen Mission
- Regulatory changes such as amendments to CERC-GNA framework improving transmission access
- ALMM 2 requirements effective from June 2026
Claims and Receivables
- Filed claims with SJVN Limited totaling ₹219 crores
- Currently recorded receivables of ₹52 crores in books
- Claims include idling charges, interest on delayed payments, and loss of profit charges
- Amount recoverable expected to be higher than recorded amount
- Can only record additional amounts upon award from dispute resolution board
Management Commentary
Growth Strategy
- Focus on scaling BESS platform
- Execute solar EPC and storage projects with discipline
- Optimize backward integration
- Invest in technology-led capabilities
- Build alliances for advanced technology access and distribution reach
- Broaden customer base across PSU and private sectors to reduce concentration risk
R&D Initiatives
- Accelerating initiatives toward higher efficiency solar modules and advanced solar technologies
- Target to shift from 620-625W solar panels to 700W panels
- Focus on delivering better performance at lower cost through EPC optimization
Q&A Session Highlights
Capacity Utilization
- Module manufacturing break-even at 30-35% utilization
- Current guaranteed order: 600 MW from NTPC REL (40-45% utilization)
- Target utilization: 60-65%
- 100% of existing EPC order book can be serviced through in-house modules
ALMM 2 Impact
- Current order book doesn't have ALMM 2 requirements
- Expect shortage of solar cells in short-term (6-12 months)
- Situation expected to ease by FY28
Project Delays and Challenges
- PPA signing delays with DISCOMs and PSUs
- Connectivity issues expected to take 10-12 months to resolve
- ROW compensation now paid on market rates (improving situation)
- BESS projects have lower delay risk due to minimal land requirements
Capital Expenditure Plans
- No immediate plans for capacity expansion beyond current projects
- Future expansion only when 75-80% capacity utilization visibility exists
- Module line expansion could be completed in 6 months if decided
Closing Remarks
Management expressed confidence in delivering good results in the coming year and committed to keeping stakeholders informed of new developments.
