Detailed Narrative
FY26 Performance and Revenue Guidance Revision
GP Eco reported a transformational Financial Year 2025-26, achieving three to four X revenue growth and maintaining PBT growth of two to three X. However, the company's revenue top line for FY26 was restricted to 414 CR, missing the previously guided range of 550-600 CR. This miss was primarily attributed to approximately 150-200 CR of revenue being deferred to FY27 due to international market scenarios, Indian policy changes, government challenges, and increased raw material costs from war conditions.
Giga Factory Commissioning and Capacity Expansion
A significant milestone for FY26 was the successful commissioning of the state-of-the-art Giga factory at Dasna, Uttar Pradesh, on May 30, 2026. The company anticipates the full-fledged 3-gigawatt operation of this factory by September 30, 2026. Looking ahead, GP Eco plans to expand this capacity to 5 gigawatts by 2027-28, with an estimated peak supply potential of 1.5 to 2 gigawatts in 2027-28 from this expanded capacity.
Product Portfolio Expansion and Market Positioning
GP Eco launched its full BESS portfolio under the Invergy brand, covering residential units (5 kWh) to utility-scale segments (5 MWh). Additionally, the company introduced PV string inverters ranging from 3 kW residential to 350 kW utility-scale. The company emphasizes its 'Make-In-India' approach, aiming for over 50% local content by December 2026, and differentiates itself through cost competitiveness, rapid service, and customization capabilities, positioning itself against Chinese imports.
Working Capital and Mitigation Strategies
The company experienced a deterioration in its working capital metrics, with receivable days increasing from 95 in FY25 to 172 in FY26, and inventory days rising from 27 to 63. To address this, GP Eco plans to increase its partner network from 40 to 75-80 by September and implement a channel financing system. This system aims to reduce the cooling period for funds and improve stock rotation, making partners independent of company credit.
FY27 Outlook and Strategic Focus
For FY27, GP Eco projects a revenue growth of approximately two to three X and PBT growth of two to three X, with an expected increase in EBITDA margin by 8-10% from FY26 levels. The revenue mix is guided to shift, with distribution contributing 13%, Invergy production 53%, and GPS Green Projects 33%. The company has postponed its solar panel manufacturing plan to focus entirely on the BESS, inverter, and EPC segments, aligning with India's ambitious renewable energy targets.
