While most solar EPC players used the monsoon as a convenient excuse for missed targets, Solarium decided to do something radical—grow 43% anyway and casually announce a 1,000 MW module factory. In a market obsessed with rooftop subsidies and tender math, Solarium turned the concall into a soft launch event for vertical integration.
Yes, rains delayed execution. Yes, GST 2.0 confused everyone. But margins expanded, orders piled up, and management spoke like they were already living in FY27. The tone was confident, almost smug—like someone who knows their order book before the analyst finishes the question.
Read on, because this concall wasn’t about surviving H1. It was about quietly redrawing Solarium’s position in the solar value chain.
2. At a Glance
Revenue up 43% – Monsoon tried, GST tried, growth still happened.
Gross margin up 65% – Vertical integration warming up nicely.
EBITDA up 36% – Execution + franchise leverage did the heavy lifting.
PAT up 22% – Profits grew slower, but still showed up.
Order book ₹229 cr + L1 ₹209 cr – Visibility so clear it’s blinding.
3. Management’s Key Commentary
“Revenue growth remained strong despite excessive monsoon.” (Translation: Weather tried to sabotage us. Failed.) 😏
“GST rate reduction will accelerate adoption.” (Lower taxes, higher volumes—basic solar physics.)
“We commissioned a 1,200 MTPA structure manufacturing facility.” (Why buy when you can make it cheaper yourself?)
“Our 1,000 MW module plant will go live by mid-January.” (Yes, we said January. No, this is not a slide.) 😌
“The plant can generate ₹1,000+ crore revenue at 85% utilization.” (Standalone business, not just captive hobby.)
“Residential expansion added 25 cities and 450 Saarthi partners.” (Army of installers unlocked.)
“Defense receivables were delayed due to Operation Sindoor.” (Geopolitics > cash flow.) 😐
