What management committed to
- We are expecting the revenue in the range of INR1500 crores to INR1700 crores in the coming financial year [FY27]. — INR1500 crores to INR1700 crores, FY27
- Our PAT margin will improve up to 8 to 9 [percent] [in FY27 and FY28]. — 8 to 9%, FY27
- Our minimum target for EBITDA will be to try and achieve 12% to 14% [in coming year FY27]. — 12% to 14%, FY27
- For the full year [FY27], 60% of turnover will come from modules and 40% from BESS and EPC. — 60% modules and 40% BESS/EPC, FY27
- Minimum 50% and 60% growth will be ours every year within 5 years. — 50%-60%, FY31
- Out of INR1150 crores [NTPC BESS EPC contract], we will complete up to 60% of the work in it within this year [FY27], and for the 40%, its turnover will come next year [FY28]. — 60% of INR1150 crores, FY27
- We are planning for the FY27 balance sheet... to move to the Mainboard then. — FY27
- If we now order a [solar cell] line... max to max INR300 crores [for 1 GW capacity]. — INR300 crores
- INR750 to INR800 crores investment will be approx [for lithium cell and BMS manufacturing]. — INR750 to INR800 crores, FY28
Key themes
BESS expansion and aggressive solar capacity scaling
How the narrative shifted
- Strategic Entry into BESS Segment: Management positions BESS as a massive growth driver alongside solar EPC, validated by the ₹1,500 Cr / ~1 GWh NTPC REL contract win.
- Working Capital and Advance Procurement Model: Management justifies increased loans and advances (₹83 Cr) and 60–75 day inventory as a conscious strategy to secure lower raw material prices and avoid credit premia amidst metal and FX volatility.
- Solar Cell and Lithium Cell Backward Integration: Company intends to set up solar cell lines (1 GW) only if DCR tender wins exceed 1 GW, while aggressively preparing for lithium cell/BMS manufacturing via Chinese tech sharing.
- Raw Material and FX Volatility Headwinds: Global metal prices (aluminium, silver, copper) and US Dollar strength compressed FY26 manufacturing margins to ~7% PAT, prompting pivot toward higher-margin EPC/BESS.
Operational commentary
- Won a ~1 GWh BESS project order from NTPC REL with a total contract value of ₹1,500 Cr (EPC portion ₹1,150 Cr) to be executed within 12 months.
- Achieved 76% capacity utilization on the 1.1 GW solar module line in FY26; targeting 85% utilization in FY27.
- Actively participating in tenders exceeding ₹2,500 Cr across solar modules, solar EPC, and BESS projects.
- Planning phased expansion of solar module capacity from 1.1 GW to 2 GW, with potential advancement into FY27/CY2026 based on order inflows.
- Evaluating entry into 1 GW solar cell manufacturing (estimated capex up to ₹300 Cr) conditional upon winning over 1 GW of DCR module tenders.
- Planning entry into lithium cell and battery management system (BMS) manufacturing with an estimated capex of ₹750–₹800 Cr with Chinese technology sharing support.
- Working capital cycle lengthened due to 60–75 day inventory holding and advances paid to Chinese vendors to lock in metal and component prices against orders like Sterling & Wilson (305 MW).
Analyst Q&A
Q. Clarification on loans & advances rising to ₹83 Cr and its impact on cash flows.
Management explained that 95% of materials are imported from China, requiring upfront advance payments for glass (110 containers at port), cells, and aluminium frames to lock in prices against volatility, maintaining a 60–75 day inventory cycle for large orders like Sterling & Wilson (305 MW).
Q. Whether solar and BESS contracts have price escalation clauses to protect against raw material inflation.
Management confirmed that price escalation clauses are currently not standard in these contracts, but margins are protected by locking procurement prices via advances upon booking orders.
Q. Expected peak debt levels and roadmap for working capital / debt limits for FY27 and FY28.
Management did not provide a specific peak debt ceiling or quantified debt roadmap, stating they will utilize internal funds and negotiate enhanced fund-based/LC working capital lines with bankers as project milestones progress.
Q. Capex estimate and timeline for solar cell and lithium cell manufacturing plans.
Lithium cell and BMS capex is estimated at ₹750–₹800 Cr taking 12–15 months to operationalize; solar cell manufacturing of 1 GW would cost maximum ₹300 Cr and can be commissioned in 6–8 months once >1 GW DCR orders are won.
