A 6 GW Leap with Advanced TOPCon Technology

Strong Order Book Justifies the Expansion

For FY27, management guided total module production of roughly 8 GW, of which 2 GW will serve the Domestic Content Requirement (DCR) segment – projects that must use Indian-made cells – and 6 GW for non-DCR . Against the expanded 15.5 GW nameplate capacity, that implies a utilization rate of 65%‑70% for modules and 70%‑75% for cells .

Vertical Integration and Policy Alignment

CEO Sameer Nagpal noted on the May 2026 call:

> “ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers – only listed modules can be used in government/utility projects) and BCD (basic customs duty, which makes imported cells/modules costlier) continue to provide the necessary guardrails for domestic growth. The cell-level mandate effective June 2026 is a critical milestone.”

Chairman Gyanesh Chaudhary added:

> “India today imports nearly all of its wafer and ingot from China… Vikram Solar will capture that value chain upstream.”

Financial Highlights (Consolidated)

For full-year FY26, revenue was ₹4,802.3 crore, net profit ₹470.4 crore, and EPS ₹13.68 .
