Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 4- →Revenue and EBITDA for the current year are expected to be equal to or better than the previous year, although this is conservative due to unpredictability in wind availability and monsoon conditions.
- →Capacity expansion plans include adding approximately 17.5 MW of solar and about 7.8 MW of wind in FY27, with an additional 15-20 MW of repowered assets planned for FY28.
- →Growth is constrained by dependency on weather (monsoon and wind) and available capital; funding and strategic triggers are required to accelerate expansion.
- →The company aims to grow towards a 1 GW operation through a combination of organic capacity addition and inorganic acquisitions, with inorganic likely skewed towards wind.
- →Opportunities exist in both industrial and government sectors due to increasing demand for renewables; however, challenges remain in securing adequate funding.
- →Battery storage and hybrid projects are being explored but require regulatory clarity and cost reductions to be viable growth drivers.
Margin guidance
Category 3- →Revenue and EBITDA for the current year are expected to be equal to or better than last year, subject to wind and monsoon conditions.
- →Wind availability in FY27 is forecasted to be similar to two years ago but supported by increased capacity, leading to overall growth in generation and revenue.
- →Capacity additions planned: approximately 11 MW wind and 15-17.5 MW solar in FY27, with potential 15-20 MW repowered assets in FY28.
- →Profitability may improve in H2 FY27 due to better wind availability and commissioning of new greenfield solar and repowering projects.
- →PAT in Q1 FY27 was lower due to wind shortfall and increased depreciation; improvement expected as new capacities become fully operational.
- →Long-term growth depends on strategic triggers, capital availability ("Vitamin M"), and successful fund-raising or partnerships.
- →Management remains focused on expanding capacity organically and through acquisitions, aiming towards a 1GW portfolio, although timelines may shift.
