The order book is split approximately 45-47% from India and 53-55% from overseas, primarily the US. The company is actively building its DCR (Domestic Content Requirement) order book, anticipating a quick ramp-up to over 1.5 gigawatts of requirement. The overall pipeline for module business exceeds 100 gigawatts, and the EPC subsidiary, Waaree Renewable, is chasing a pipeline of 30 gigawatts, indicating strong future demand.
Sustainability and Industry Recognition
Sustainability remains a core strategy for Waaree, with commitments to net-zero emissions for Scope 1 & 2 by 2030 and Scope 3 by 2040, aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals. The company is the only Indian firm in its category to receive an Ecovadis gold medal and has environmental product declarations for its 600-watt peak and 550-watt peak modules. Waaree has maintained its ranking as a Tier 1 PV Module Supplier by BNEF for 38 consecutive quarters and achieved a bankability rating of A, the first Indian company to do so.

FY26 EBITDA Guidance and Growth Levers
Waaree Energies provided confident guidance for FY26, projecting an EBITDA range of ₹5,500-6,000 crores, representing substantial growth from FY25. This confidence is grounded in the scale of its order book, integrated value chain, and proven execution engine. Key levers for achieving this target include efficient manufacturing, increased capacity utilization (with some lines already at 90%+), and effective cost management across both manufacturing and SG&A, driven by growing scale.
