Waaree Energies price & chart
Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
Waaree Energies delivered a strong financial and operational performance during Q1 FY27, backed by consistent execution and robust demand across domestic and international markets.
The ongoing execution of the 'Waaree 2.0' strategy has begun yielding measurable outcomes, helping the company transform from a leading solar module manufacturer into a diversified energy transition enterprise.
The company achieved significant milestones across advanced manufacturing, energy storage, and power infrastructure acquisitions during the quarter, reinforcing its long-term growth trajectory.
The quarter combined very strong top-line growth with slower profit growth. Operating EBITDA increased substantially, but it did not keep pace with revenue, which means the larger scale converted into operating profit at a lower rate than a year earlier.
That divergence is visible in the operating EBITDA margin, which contracted by 438 basis points year on year. The release does not provide a detailed cost bridge for raw materials, pricing or product mix.
Profit after tax also grew more slowly than both revenue and operating EBITDA. Q1 FY27 therefore combined rapid scale growth with weaker profit conversion.
Operating evidence supported part of that scale story: module production rose 41.51% year on year to 3.24 GW. The company also reported substantial new order additions and a much larger total order book, giving disclosed demand visibility beyond the quarter.
The next leg of the story depends on execution. The 10 GW cell facility at Unn, the new battery-storage manufacturing facility, the acquired APS business and management’s FY27 EBITDA guidance all create measurable checkpoints for later disclosures.

03 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Achieved module production of 3.24 GW during Q1 FY27, registering a growth of 41.51% year-on-year driven by strong operational efficiency and scale advantages.
Module production reached 3.24 GW, an increase of 41.51% from the year-ago quarter, providing a concrete operating measure alongside revenue growth.
Management described demand as robust across domestic and international markets, consistent with the company’s stated presence in more than 25 countries.
The company said newer businesses were beginning to contribute meaningfully, although the release did not provide a separate revenue split for those activities.
What drove margins
Operating EBITDA reached ₹1,439.92 Crores, reflecting a 44.38% increase year-on-year with an operating EBITDA margin of 18.15%.
Operating EBITDA grew 44.38% year on year while revenue grew 79.22%, so operating profit did not scale at the same speed as the top line.
Operating EBITDA margin was 18.15% compared with 22.53% a year earlier, a contraction of 438 basis points.
The company release did not disclose a detailed cost bridge for the margin decline; attributing it to raw material, mix, freight or commissioning would therefore be speculation.
04 · Demand, customers & order book
Where demand is coming from
Added new orders worth approximately ₹16,000 Crores during the quarter, bringing the total order book to a record approximately ₹61,500 Crores.
During the quarter, the company added orders worth approximately ₹16,000 crore.
