Detailed Narrative
Q1 FY26 Financial Performance
Inox Wind reported a strong Q1 FY26 with consolidated revenue of ₹863 crores, marking a 32% increase year-on-year. EBITDA grew by 39% YoY to ₹220 crores, and PAT saw a significant jump of 134% YoY to ₹97 crores. Cash PAT also increased by 168% YoY to ₹186 crores. For Inox Green specifically, total income was ₹98 crores (up 79% YoY) with an EBITDA of ₹48 crores (up 61% YoY) and a robust EBITDA margin of 49%.
Strategic Initiatives & Capacity Expansion
The company operationalized its new 1200 MW capacity nacelle and Hub manufacturing unit near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and commenced its transformer manufacturing facility. Additionally, Inox Wind is expanding its blade manufacturing capacity by setting up a new facility in South India. These initiatives are expected to aid faster execution and deliver higher margins, leading to a raised margin guidance of 18-19% for FY26 from the earlier 17-18%.
Inox Green's Growth & O&M Portfolio
Inox Green's total renewable O&M portfolio now stands at 5.1 gigawatts, following the addition of approximately 1.6 gigawatts of solar O&M contracts in April-May 2025. The company also signed an agreement for comprehensive O&M of 182 MW of wind projects for a large conglomerate. Management expressed strong bullishness on Inox Green, projecting its portfolio to scale from 5 gigawatts to about 17 gigawatts over the next two years, with wind forming the majority.
Industry Outlook & Regulatory Tailwinds
Management highlighted a strong macro outlook for the wind industry, with government support and the necessity of renewables. The recently notified ALMM for Wind is seen as a significant boost for domestic manufacturers. Furthermore, a CERC amendment allowing hybridization of existing solar and wind transmission projects (capacity >50 MW) creates a large opportunity for Inox Renewable Solutions, leveraging existing infrastructure for multiple times the capacity.
Capital Structure & Shareholder Value
The company's balance sheet and net cash position were fortified by a successful rights issue, which was oversubscribed 2.13 times. Promoters fully subscribed their entitlement of around ₹560 crores, demonstrating commitment. The proceeds from the rights issue were used to pare down debt, including ₹560 crores by NCPI, eliminating the entire NCRPS on the balance sheet post-merger of IWEL and IWL.
Order Book & Execution Strategy
Inox Wind holds a diversified order book of 3.1 gigawatts, comprising marquee clients and a mix of turnkey and equipment supply contracts, providing visibility for the next two years. Despite Q1 FY26 execution of 146 MW, management reiterated the FY26 execution guidance of 1.2 gigawatts, emphasizing a focus on completing full sets and improving working capital efficiency rather than just megawattage. They expect to convert a substantial multi-gigawatt order pipeline into firm orders in the coming months.
