I now hand the conference over to Mr. C.K. Thakur for his opening remarks. Thank you, and
over to you, sir.
C.K. Thakur: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Let me begin with an update on our business
operations and outlook. The most significant milestone of the quarter has been on the
international front. In June, this financial year, we received a letter of award for our 50-50 joint
venture with Hassan Allam Construction, one of the leading construction company in Egypt and
the wider MENA regions for the West Minya Solar Power Project in the Minya Governorate of
Egypt. This is a landmark mandate, a 1,000 megawatt AC solar PV plant integrated with 600-
megawatt hour battery energy storage system, valued at approximately USD560 million. Once
completed, it will rank among Egypt's largest utility scale renewables development. For us, it
marked the third gigawatt scale order win in the space of 9 months, a clear signal, both of the
rising ticket size of the projects and of the confidence that marquee developers place in our
ability to execute complex storage integrated solar at scale. The joint venture will undertake the
full engineering, procurement and construction scope spanning the photovoltaic generation
facilities. The battery store infrastructure, grid connection, transmission works and all associated
balance of the plant. With this order win, we concluded Q1 FY27 with highest ever UOV of
INR13,000 crores, driving a strong visibility for revenue growth for forthcoming quarters.
At this point, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that current UOV comprises 6
turnkey projects, 3 each in India and international markets, which are yet to commence
execution. The total value of these 6 projects is approximately INR9,000 crores. These orders
were won during the second half of financial year '26 and Q1 FY27. We expect these orders to
start contributing more meaningfully during the second half of the fiscal year. Since these are
the large projects, we also expect the working capital cycle of the company to significantly
improve as the customers' advances for these large projects start flowing through.
Moving to the market outlook, The domestic solar EPC market remained a bit slow for a second
consecutive quarter due to geographical tensions, volatile commodity prices and high domestic
module prices, which deferred new projects awards. Activity on battery storage market has been
increasing exponentially with both stand-alone BESS projects getting awarded and hybrid solar

projects with battery storage. We believe there is significantly large market. We remain patient
to get profitable orders out of this.
We continue to remain patient and are only pursuing margin-accretive projects. The bid pipeline
continues to remain extremely robust at 27.7 gigawatt, of which almost 90% is India focused.
The current bid pipeline is purely focused on the solar PV market and also the BESS projects
which is another large opportunity in itself. In value terms, we expect the BESS market ordering
activities to be almost equal to the size of the PV market.
We anticipate ordering activity to pick up from this quarter in the domestic market, and we are
confident of maintaining our market share, which, in our view, should enable us to deliver 10%
to 15% growth in revenue, this fiscal despite the high base of financial year '26.
On the international market outlook, we continue to remain very optimistic on the Africa and
Middle East markets and certain geographies in Europe. We currently have 3 ongoing projects
in Africa and Middle East, which should commence execution during this quarter.
In all our international projects, we continue to judiciously evaluate the risk and rewards and are
mindful of not being exposed to the commodity prices and equipment price increase risk. As I
have indicated in previous calls, all international solar projects undertaken thus far have been
completed successfully within the projected margins.
Moving to the operations and maintenance (O&M) segments, We have now achieved a record
18.3 gigawatt peak capacities under operations. We anticipate this full portfolio to start
contributing fully from third quarter of this fiscal year. The O&M business provides us a steady
annuity stream and good Gross and EBITDA margin due to a very low overheads.
Our engagement with the Reliance Group continues to be deeper. As you have seen, the Reliance
Group articulated at its recent annual general body meeting an ambition to build one of the
world's largest integrated renewable energy hubs in the Kutch region of Gujarat, a development
spread across 5.5 lakh acres designed to deliver round-the-clock power at gigawatt scale by
integrating solar generation with battery storage and targeted to generate in excess of 40 billion
units annually, equivalent to close to 3% of India's current power demand.
The Reliance Group has already commissioned its integrated new energy manufacturing
ecosystem and the first phase of its 40 gigawatt-hour battery Gigafactory is on track for
commissioning this year with a stated pathway to 120 gigawatt hours. We are working very
closely with Reliance Group on technical configuration and execution readiness. While the
