Management Perspective
Together, these orders reinforce the momentum in our business and the confidence customers place in our capabilities. They also demonstrate the strength of our customer relationships, built on consistent project execution, domain expertise and the skilled manpower we have developed over the years.
Financial and Operational Context
The company operates as a global pure-play renewable EPC provider with a massive portfolio exceeding 28.7 GWp across 28 countries. Despite the recent order wins, the firm faces financial headwinds, reporting a TTM net loss of ₹287.18 crore. Market performance reflects these challenges, with the stock trading at ₹173.27, representing a 36.04% decline over the past year.
However, recent quarterly results showed a 69.6% year-on-year growth in net profit, potentially indicating operational improvements. With a current RSI of 27.22, the stock is in oversold territory while the company maintains a substantial O&M portfolio of 18.3 GWp.
