1) At a Glance
Websol just pulled a Lazarus act. After revenue nosedived to ₹17 Cr in FY23 thanks to shutting its 250 MW line, Q1 FY26 alone clocked₹219 Cr revenueand₹67 Cr PAT— margins hotter than a panel in June sun. With new 600 MW Mono PERC and 550 MW module lines ready to fire in Oct 2025, the company is morphing from a struggling cell maker into a 2.4 GW aspirant. But before you start humming “Chak De India,” remember — this is solar, where fortunes swing faster than Delhi’s AQI.
2) Introduction
Once upon a time, Websol was just another photovoltaic manufacturer trying to survive China’s price dumping, wafer tech shifts, and India’s love-hate policy regime. By FY22, it looked healthy at ₹213 Cr revenue, but FY23 turned ugly: production shut, sales collapsed to ₹17 Cr, and management bet the house on newMono PERC technology.
Fast forward: that gamble looks genius. PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) cells upped efficiency to 23%, wafers grew from 158mm to 182–210mm, and clients like Goldi and Rayzon started knocking again. By FY25, trial runs finished, loans were converted into equity, and now in FY26, the Falta SEZ factory is buzzing again.
This is not just revival; it’s Websol’s attempt to go from “also-ran” to “national champion” in solar cells. The market loves comeback stories. The question: can it sustain margins when global module ASPs collapse?

4) Financials Overview
| Metric | Q1 FY26 | Q1 FY25 | Q4 FY25 | YoY % | QoQ % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue (₹ Cr) | 219 | 59 | 174 | +271% | +25.9% |
| EBITDA (₹ Cr) | 95 | 20 | 60 | +375% | +58.3% |
| PAT (₹ Cr) | 67 | 15 | 45 | +346% | +48.9% |
| EPS (₹) | 8.5 | 1.9 | 5.7 | +347% | +49.1% |
Commentary:Websol is posting growth numbers that would make even Adani Green blush. Annualised EPS = ₹34. P/E not disclosed (CMP not in file), but given sector multiples, it’s likely in nosebleed territory.
5) Valuation (Fair Value Range Only)
- P/E Method:EPS ₹34 × 15–20x = ₹510 – ₹680.
- EV/EBITDA Method:Annualised EBITDA ~₹380 Cr × 8–10x = EV ₹3,040 – ₹3,800 Cr. With modest debt, per-share FV ~₹450 – ₹560.
- DCF Method:Assume 20% CAGR for 5 years (conservative), discount 12%. FV ~₹500 – ₹600.
Educational FV Range:₹450 – ₹680.(Not investment advice.)
6) What’s Cooking – News, Triggers, Drama
- Capacity Expansion:600 MW Mono PERC + 550 MW modules commissioning in Oct 2025.
- Future Bet:TOPCON tech (targeting >25% efficiency) — currently experimental.
- Debt Conversion:Promoter loans (₹14.7 Cr) converted into equity via preferential
