- Targeting 4,000 Cr revenue in FY28 once the 2.2GW solar cell facility reaches full capacity.
- Commissioning of the G12R TopCon cell manufacturing line is scheduled for mid-September 2026.
- EBITDA margins for the quarter remained stable at 15.5% despite industry-wide pricing pressure.
- Invested 890 Cr into vertical integration while maintaining a manageable total debt of 360 Cr.
- Management focuses on ALMM List-2 compliance to gain a competitive edge in domestic sourcing.
Financial Performance
Alpex Solar reported operating revenue of 503.42 Cr for Q1 FY27, representing a 32.37% year-on-year increase. Net profit for the period reached 39.87 Cr. The company’s EBITDA margins were stable at 15.5%, supported by efficient module manufacturing operations.
With a Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio of 9.23, the stock is currently trading at a valuation significantly lower than the sector average of 22.76. Total debt stands at approximately 360 Cr, a manageable figure considering the 890 Cr capital expenditure allocated for the upcoming cell manufacturing facility. This financial discipline provides a strong base for the company’s transition toward vertical integration.
Management Outlook and Cell Integration
Managing Director Ashwini Sehgal confirmed that the 2.2GW TopCon cell line will commission in mid-September 2026, with the first commercial invoicing expected by September 20. The management is targeting a significant revenue leap to 4,000 Cr by FY28 as the cell facility reaches full utilization. High-efficiency G12R cells are expected to command EBITDA margins of 35-40%, vastly superior to current module assembly margins.
Management remains confident in domestic demand visibility, citing an order book of 350 Cr for solar pumps and strong demand for integrated modules that comply with upcoming domestic content requirements under the ALMM policy.
Business Overview & Expansion Plans
Headquartered in Greater Noida, Alpex Solar has expanded its manufacturing capacity from 2.4GW to 3.6GW for solar modules. The company’s growth strategy centers on vertical integration to combat global supply chain volatility and aggressive international pricing. Beyond cells, the firm has proposed a massive 5GW expansion into solar glass and wafer manufacturing.
This move aims to insulate the company from the existential threats currently facing standalone assemblers. By controlling upstream components like cells and glass, Alpex intends to lower its blended production costs while improving product efficiency, currently targeting up to 26.5% for its generation-3 TopCon cells.
Sector Dynamics and Competitive Moat
The Indian solar industry is currently bolstered by the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) and domestic content mandates. Management highlighted that standalone module assembly is becoming a low-margin business due to intense competition and rapid technology shifts. The transition to high-efficiency TopCon technology is essential as older Mono-Perc technology phases out.
Alpex’s investment in domestic cell manufacturing aligns with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, providing a structural tailwind. Regulatory shifts are expected to filter out unorganized players, leaving integrated manufacturers like Alpex in a stronger position to capture the utility-scale and government EPC markets.
What to Watch
- First commercial invoicing from the 2.2GW TopCon cell line expected in late September 2026.
- Margin improvement trends as the cell manufacturing segment contributes to the blended EBITDA.
- Progress on the proposed 5GW vertical integration into solar glass and wafer production.
- Execution of the 350 Cr solar water pump order book and participation in new government tenders.
