CHAIRMAN’S SPEECH – 36TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The financial year 2025-26 was transformative for the Company as we strengthened downstream
capabilities and relationship with our customers through expansion into module manufacturing.
Standing here today, looking back at our journey over the last thirty years, I am struck by how far we
have come.
We entered the solar space back in the mid-Nineties—a time when tapping into renewable energy
felt more like a bold experiment than a viable industry. But we kept our focus, adapted to shifting
technological tides, and endured.
There is a global shift in the acceleration of de-carbonisation- commitments and transition to an
electricity-driven economy and I am proud to share that Websol is standing on firmer, more
purposeful ground than ever before as we build a technology-driven integrated solar enterprise.
The demands of artificial intelligence with its explosive power requirements have pushed solar
energy from an alternative option to the very foundation of modern power generation. India’s journey
in this big global movement is extraordinary.
Domestic solar manufacturing is no longer just an economic strategy, but a pillar of our national
security, driven by a strong push for industrialization and an urgent need for national energy
sovereignty. And Websol is at the heart of building this future.
Our recent milestones represent far more than headline figures; we crossed the milestone of Rs.
1,000 Crore revenue in FY2026 through four consecutive quarters of disciplined execution.
However, the focus needs to shift to the fundamentals that have enabled such an achievement.
The fact that our Phase 2 expansion has been funded through internal accruals and not through debt
dilution and the resultant net cash position as well as a rapid ramp-up of our manufacturing capacities
speak volumes about the discipline and technical competence ingrained in our operations.
We are extremely proud to be recommending a dividend this year for the first time in a decade,
reflecting our strong cash flow, financial self-sufficiency and our complete confidence in Websol’s
sustainable expansion over the long term.
Following our historic FY2026 milestones, we built on our momentum in Q1FY27 with disciplined
execution, expanding margins and stable sources of income that validate our operational scale.
Looking ahead, we are committed to continuous improvement and development, with a clear resolve
not to become complacent in our success.
With the growth of the renewable energy sector, it is vital that we keep moving forward at a
comparable pace in order to remain as competitive as possible.
As a result, we are upgrading our production lines from the standard Mono PERC to the TOPCon
technology in order to provide our clients with panels with higher efficiency and power output, which
are increasingly demanded in the market.
In addition, we are aggressively expanding our operations. Our expansion into module manufacturing
creates strategic value by enabling us to consider backward integration into wafer production. As
such, we transform ourselves from a single segment component manufacturer into a comprehensive
vertically integrated solar provider.
The latter enables us to secure supply chains and to insulate the company against external price
fluctuations and realize value across the entire solar value chain.
Looking into the horizon, our targets encapsulate this very ambition. By 2028, we are confident that
we will scale our manufacturing capacity to 5,350 MW of solar cells and 4,550 MW of solar modules.
The above-mentioned capacity will propel us to the league of the largest manufacturers, solidifying
our position as one of the most formidable players in the market, fueling India's sustainable future for
years to come.
None of this would have been possible without the collective belief of our stakeholders. We are
grateful to our shareholders for their continuous belief in our capabilities, to our customers for their
enduring trust, and above all, to the dedicated women and men of Websol whose craftsmanship
drives our success—thank you. The age of electrification is here, and the best chapters of our story
are yet to be written. Let’s write them together.
I would like to mention the contribution from Ms. Sanjana Khaitan, Executive Director, who has been
instrumental in steering our strategic reinvention, driving operational efficiency and aligning our
manufacturing roadmap with market demand. Now, I will request her to address the shareholders
present.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S SPEECH – 36TH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Respected Chairman, distinguished members of the board, and our valued shareholders, a very warm
and pleasant good afternoon.
I would like to begin by expressing my gratitude to our chairman for his generous words, his enduring
leadership, and his unwavering guidance through every cycle of our company’s three-decade
journey. I am equally indebted to our entire Board of Directors and to you, our shareholders, for
placing your continued trust in our capabilities as we strive to create compounding, long-term value
for every stakeholder associated with Websol.
As our chairman highlighted earlier, this is a truly historic juncture for us. We are currently celebrating
an extraordinary financial year—one where years of patient groundwork, strategic foresight, and
disciplined execution finally came to magnificent fruition. During FY26, we crossed a monumental
milestone, achieving a record revenue of ₹1,049.44 Crore, which represents a phenomenal top-line
growth of 82.4%.
Even more compelling than our revenue expansion is the powerful operational leverage reflected in
our profitability metrics. Our full-year FY26 EBITDA scaled to an impressive ₹428.54 Crore, delivering
a robust margin of 40.84%. Meanwhile, our Net Profit nearly doubled to ₹303.01 Crore, propelling our
net worth to more than double within a single financial year, standing firmly at ₹630.71 Crore.
This tremendous momentum has seamlessly carried forward into the current fiscal year. As many of
you are already aware, our Q1FY27 performance has broken previous benchmarks, with revenue
surging by 70% to ₹372.60 Crore. Our quarterly EBITDA stood strong at ₹125.58 Crore—up 21%—
while Net Profit rose by 16% to reach ₹77.79 Crore. Supported by our successfully running state-of-
the-art cells and modules manufacturing lines, we currently sit on a robust, revenue-accretive order
backlog of ₹1,278 Crore.
There is one particular milestone, however, that remains deeply personal and close to my heart: our
structural debt journey and the monumental relief we have just unlocked for our equity. Throughout
our history, we have always treated debt strictly as a pragmatic tool—a necessary catalyst to get our
initial 600 MW line off
