Key risks flagged by management (FY26 / Q1 FY27)

• Supply chain disruptions and input cost volatility due to geopolitical conditions can delay projects and increase costs, particularly impacting the EPC/CPP segment.
• Securing contiguous land parcels and timely grid connectivity for new projects remains a significant execution challenge.
• Intense market competition from established players and new entrants in competitive bidding can exert pressure on tariffs and returns.
• Operations are influenced by seasonal and climatic variations (e.g., rainy season, solar/wind generation seasonality), leading to unpredictability in energy generation and potentially affecting PAT.

• Possesses a diversified portfolio across IPP, CPP, solar, wind, hybrid, BESS, and emerging segments like green hydrogen and floating solar.
• Maintains a robust project pipeline, extensive land bank, and developed power evacuation infrastructure, securing future growth.

Cons

• Q1 FY27 PAT was impacted by higher depreciation and finance costs due to a rapidly growing asset base, even with strong EBITDA.
• The Debt-Equity ratio increased significantly to 1.55 in FY26 from 0.48 in FY25, indicating higher leverage.
