New thermal power plant phase 2 at Maamba expected to be fully commissioned by Q2 FY27-28, adding about INR 200 million in revenue.
100 MW solar plant at Maamba to be commissioned by end of September 2026, establishing growth in renewables.
Sugar plant commissioning targeted for Q4 FY28, with expected annual revenue of INR 55 to 60 million.
Expansion and diversification into renewables (solar, wind, battery, nuclear SMRs) domestically and internationally to drive long-term value.
Overall growth supported by diversified portfolio, operational resilience, and financial strength amid global challenges.
