1. At a Glance
Waa Solar is a Gujarat-based SME solar power company under Madhav Power Pvt. Ltd. It’s got land, panels, and potential… but also contingent liabilities, pledged shares, and profitability that flickers like a dying CFL.

- P/E: 14.1 — reasonable for SME space
- Book Value: ₹141 — stock trades at just 0.53x BV
- Promoter pledge: 75.2% — wait, what?!
