CleanMax agrees to acquire Thai solar vehicle at 1.25M Thai Baht
CleanMax Enviro Energy Solutions, which sells solar and wind power to businesses under long-term contracts, said on 9 October 2026 that two Thai units will buy 100% of Massmunch Company Limited for Thai Baht 1,250,000 in cash . Massmunch was set up in Thailand in March 2025 for renewable energy generation with nil turnover, and will become a step-down wholly owned unit by 31 October 2026 . The tiny outlay reads as buying a ready company to develop solar in Thailand where CleanMax already operates rooftop capacity .

| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Agreement date | 9 October 2026 |
| Buyers and split | Cleanmax Energy (Thailand) Company Limited, 99.99%, and Cleanmax IHQ (Thailand) Company Limited, 0.01% |
| Price and payment | Thai Baht 1,250,000 enterprise value, cash for 100% shares |
| Target | Massmunch Company Limited, incorporated 27 March 2025 in Thailand |
| Target finances at 31 December 2025 | Net worth Thai Baht 1,213,300, turnover nil |
| Completion | By 31 October 2026 |
The buyers are both wholly owned units of Cleanmax Solar MENA FZCO (Dubai), which is itself wholly owned by CleanMax . After the split purchase, Massmunch will be fully owned through another owned company .
The stated object is to enable growth and further development of solar renewable capacity in Thailand . With recent incorporation and nil turnover, the filing positions Massmunch as a vehicle for future projects rather than an operating asset .
Thailand is small part of established overseas rooftop base
CleanMax groups Thailand inside onsite solar, meaning solar panels installed at customer sites and counted inside its power-sales business .
Thailand onsite capacity rose
Sources: 30 June 2026 — ; 31 March 2026 — ; 1 March 2026 — .
| As of | Thailand onsite (MWp) | Total onsite solar (MWp) |
|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2026 | 46 | 419 |
| 31 March 2026 | 46 | 399 |
| 1 March 2026 | 43 | 384 |
As of 30 June 2026, onsite solar comprised 278 MWp in India and 141 MWp overseas, split across UAE, Bahrain and Thailand . The footprint is shown as India, UAE and Thailand, with rooftop onsite spread across 4 countries, 22 Indian states and more than 1,600 sites .
The March disclosures show the same pattern of a stable Thai base while total onsite expanded . That history helps explain why a local entity purchase fits ongoing development rather than entry into a new market.
Larger contracted book supports FY27 build plan

| As of | Contracted RE power sales (MW) | Operational RE power sales (MW) |
|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2026 | 6,003 | 3,493 |
| 31 March 2026 | 5,685 | 3,088 |
| 31 March 2025 | 4,422 | 1,712 |
Total contracted RE power sales reached 6,003 MW as of 30 June 2026, with 2,510 MW contracted yet to be executed . Including services, where CleanMax builds plants that customers own, the portfolio total was 6,831 MW .
Management guides minimum 1,500 MW commissioning in FY27 and points to a wider 12,924 MW pipeline including evacuation-available and evacuation-applied capacity . On the Q1 FY27 call, management said about 500 MW was added in the quarter and expressed confidence in meeting or exceeding that full-year build guidance . It linked that build to minimum 4.6 GW of opex sales capacity on 1 April 2027 supporting minimum reported EBITDA in FY28 of about Rs 3,000 crore .
Q1 scale and project debt explain why tiny deal fits
Sales doubled and quarter turned profitable on operating leverage
Source: .
| Consolidated quarter ended 30 June | Q1 FY27 | Q1 FY26 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue from operations (Rs crore) | 832.16 | 402.34 |
| Reported EBITDA (Rs crore) | 462.86 | 274.90 |
| Adjusted EBITDA (Rs crore) | 494.01 | 283.86 |
| Reported PAT (Rs crore) | 55.20 | -16.60 |
Source: .
| Margin for quarter ended 30 June | Q1 FY27 | Q1 FY26 |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA margin, RE Power Sales (%) | 83.67 | 76.40 |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin, RE Services (%) | 11.16 | 8.69 |
| Gross margin, RE Power Sales (%) | 92.06 | 93.72 |
Revenue growth was attributed to capacity commissioning, with power-sales revenue up 47% and services revenue sharply higher on more projects executed . Profit after tax, meaning profit after tax, was Rs 55 crore in Q1 FY27 .
Margins improved through operating leverage as overhead grew more slowly than income . Power-sales gross margin stayed near 92% while segment EBITDA margins rose in both segments .
The commercial base behind that leverage is long-tenor corporate contracting. Data and AI customers were 42% of contracted RE power sales capacity as of 30 June 2026, with weighted average contract tenor of 23.25 years . Management said nearly 80% of new volumes in the quarter were repeat business from existing clients .
Project debt funds construction while tiny deal needs little cash
Source: .
| Consolidated, as of | 30 June 2026 | 31 March 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Gross block (Rs crore) | 14,138.10 | 12,823.20 |
| Net debt (Rs crore) | 11,809.20 | 9,684.10 |
| Total equity (Rs crore) | 5,831.60 | 5,523.50 |
| Debt net of liquid assets to annualised adjusted EBITDA (times) | 4.76 | 4.75 |
| Cost of project debt (%) | 8.45 | 8.50 |
Most debt sits against operating or under-construction projects rather than the Thailand purchase price . About 44% was against projects operational for more than one year and about 38% against under-construction assets yet to generate cash flows .
Financing cost fell from a year earlier alongside a credit upgrade to AA, which management said opens scope for a first domestic corporate bond . In that context, a Thai Baht 1,250,000 cash payment due by 31 October 2026 does not change the funding picture, but it gives CleanMax a local entity for solar development in a market where it already operates .
