Detailed Narrative
Robust Q4 and FY26 Financial Performance
Waaree Renewable Technologies delivered strong financial results for Q4 and FY26. Q4 FY26 revenue from operations stood at INR 1,102.40 crores, marking a significant 131.31% year-on-year growth. The company achieved an EBITDA of INR 206.82 crores with a healthy margin of 18.76%, and PAT reached INR 155.72 crores, up 66.08% YoY. For the full fiscal year 2026, revenue grew 108.51% to INR 3,331.42 crores, with EBITDA at INR 641.10 crores (up 106.21% YoY) and PAT at INR 478.65 crores (up 109.09% YoY).
Strong Execution and Order Book Visibility
In FY26, the company successfully executed 2,727 megawatt peak of projects, representing its highest annual execution. The unexecuted order book stood at 2.8 gigawatt peak as of March 31, 2026, providing strong revenue visibility for the next 12-15 months. Management noted that despite a slight decrease in order inflow from 2.4 GW in FY25 to 2.3 GW in FY26, they are actively chasing a substantial pipeline of 36 gigawatt, comprising 23 GW domestic and 12 GW international opportunities.
Strategic IPP Development and Asset-Light Model
Waaree Renewable Technologies continues its asset-light strategy, funding its IPP projects entirely through internal accruals without significant debt. Currently, 54 megawatts of IPP projects are operational, generating revenue of INR 26 crores for FY26. Additionally, over 200 megawatts of IPP projects are under construction and are expected to be commissioned during the current financial year, contributing to continuous revenue streams. The estimated cost for solar installation is between INR 3-3.5 crores per megawatt.
Margin Management and Operational Efficiency
The company maintained a robust EBITDA margin of over 19.24% for FY26, exceeding its long-term target of around 15%. Management attributed this to operational improvements, timely execution, and tight budgeting controls. They emphasized that for turnkey projects, any increase in module prices, such as those potentially arising from ALCM regulations, is passed through to the customer, thus protecting margins.
Emerging Opportunities in BESS and Domestic Sourcing Advantage
Waaree Renewable Technologies is actively exploring new opportunities, particularly in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) EPC, which is seen as a key enabler for grid stability. While BESS revenue is not yet significant, it is expected to open up during the current financial year. The company also highlighted its advantage of domestic sourcing for all components required for solar power projects, insulating it from global raw material inflation and supply chain disruption🌐s, and positioning it favorably in the growing Indian renewable energy sector.
Working Capital and Receivables Management
The company observed an increase in trade receivables and inventory. Management clarified that inventory is primarily procured for specific project requirements and will be billed to customers upon project completion. They aim to conserve cash generated from operations and reinvest it into projects, including IPP development, to generate future revenue. Receivables from government authorities (GST) and advances to suppliers also contribute to the 'other financial assets' category.
