Quarter overview
Quarterly earnings analysis
During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Solex Energy recorded total revenue of ₹2,656.3 million, marking a 1.8% increase compared to ₹2,610.5 million in Q1 FY26, with revenue from operations contributing ₹2,608.2 million.
Management noted that the first quarter is historically the softest period for the solar industry due to monsoon conditions that restrict site readiness and installation activity at project sites.
Operating performance during the quarter was also influenced by customer-driven rescheduling of module deliveries following late-May 2026 clarifications on the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) timeline, resulting in temporary delivery shifts rather than cancellations.
EBITDA for Q1 FY27 reached ₹33.79 million with an EBITDA margin of 12.7%, down from 16.4% in Q1 FY26 but higher sequentially compared to 11.1% in Q4 FY26.
Profit after tax (PAT) stood at ₹8.26 million, yielding a PAT margin of 3.1%, compared to ₹247.1 million and a 9.5% margin in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The bottom-line comparison reflects the full-quarter impact of higher depreciation charges of ₹101.9 million—up from ₹42.7 million in Q1 FY26—and increased finance costs of ₹124.8 million compared to ₹54.1 million previously, driven by the commissioning of Lines 3 and 4 in November 2025 and higher working capital deployment.
In terms of corporate milestones, Solex completed its listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in August 2026 under the scrip code 544862, making the company dual-listed on both the NSE and BSE to broaden its investor base.

02 · Historical context
What shaped the business before this quarter
Since its inception in 1995, Solex has built nearly three decades of operating expertise, evolving from an early solar participant into one of India's trusted solar module manufacturers.
The company previously expanded its manufacturing footprint by establishing a 4 GW photovoltaic module facility at Tadkeshwar, Gujarat, utilizing Industry 4.0-enabled automation.
Lines 3 and 4 at the manufacturing facility were commissioned earlier in November 2025, which subsequently increased depreciation and finance costs heading into FY27.

What drove revenue
Revenues continued to be supported by the ongoing scaling and adoption of advanced N-Type TOPCon module technologies, such as the 640 Wp G12R Glass-to-Glass modules.
What drove margins
PAT margins contracted YoY due to higher depreciation of ₹101.9 million and increased finance costs of ₹124.8 million resulting from the November 2025 commissioning of manufacturing lines and elevated working capital utilization.
EBITDA margin improved sequentially to 12.7% in Q1 FY27 compared to 11.1% in Q4 FY26, reflecting better operational efficiency despite soft seasonal volumes.
