capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Capex guidance for FY '26 and FY '27 is between INR 50 crores to INR 75 crores. - The company is expanding into crane services and transformer manufacturing as part of backward integration. - These backward integration initiatives are expected to improve EBITDA margins and help cash flows through deferred payments. - The first set of cranes will be operationalized within Q4 FY '25 and reflected in margins from Q4 onwards. - Some initiatives related to insourcing and backward integration are yet to kick in fully and will contribute to margin improvement in subsequent quarters. - No large multi-year order book capex is planned since the company believes in booking 2-year order books only, avoiding MOUs or paper agreements for 3-5 years.

revenue

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The company is confident of achieving its FY '26 guidance of 1,200 megawatts and expects to maintain strong execution momentum beyond that, targeting around 2 gigawatts thereafter (Page 16, 17). - The order book is well diversified and currently covers more than two years (3.3 gigawatts), with ongoing bids and discussions indicating steady order inflow in coming years (Page 17, 6). - Revenue growth is expected from increased EPC execution, especially from Quarter 4 FY '25 onwards, as milestone completions accelerate (Page 9, 16). - Expansion into related businesses like crane services and transformer manufacturing is expected to improve margins and cash flow, with some revenue utilized internally (Page 16). - Market demand in India remains strong with annual awarding trajectories of around 50 gigawatts (including 10 GW for wind/hybrid), alongside 3-5 GW per annum from C&I segments, supporting long-term volume growth (Page 8). - Profitability per megawatt is expected to improve due to product upgrades, backward integration, and hybrid solar-wind projects (Page 16, 17).

margin

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

- The company maintains FY '26 guidance of 1,200+ MW execution with confidence in meeting or exceeding it. - EBITDA margin guidance stands at 17% for FY '26, with potential for further upgrades (100-200 bps improvement expected). - EPC execution and revenues are expected to accelerate from Q4 FY '25 onward, leading to better profitability per MW. - Backward integration initiatives (crane services, transformer manufacturing) will improve EBITDA margins and cash flows without increasing revenue significantly. - Sold-out order book of 3.3 GW supports steady revenue and earnings visibility over the next two years, reducing volatility. - Synergies from the group’s new solar manufacturing arm (Inox Solar) and hybrid contract bidding will open additional revenue streams and strengthen growth prospects. - Company expects gradual margin improvement due to business efficiencies and favorable execution to drive operating earnings growth.
