Thank you, Nikunj. Good afternoon, everyone, and a warm welcome to all of you joining the earnings conference call of Waaree Renewable Technologies Limited to discuss our performance for Q1 FY '27. I hope you all had the opportunity to go through our financial results and investor presentation, which have been already made available on the stock exchange as well as on the company's website. Before I begin, I would like to sincerely thank all our stakeholders for their unwavering confidence and the trust in the company. Your support for our business, our execution and our long-term strategy has been a strong source of encouragement for us. We are committed to building on this trust through disciplined execution, steady growth and a clear focus on long- term value creation. We want to bring your attention on the recent transaction concluded by the company before we get into the quarterly highlights and industry overview. During the current quarter, we have successfully completed the acquisition of a 55% equity stake in Associated Power Structures Private Limited based out of Vadodara, Gujarat, which is an integrated EPC solution provider for substation and transmission line, having manufacturing capacity of 108,000 metric tons per annum that provides fabrication and galvanization. . For transmission tower, wind turbine Lattice tower, Telecom tower, solar panel structure. APSPL has been in the T&D business for over 2 decades and its in-house manufacturing capability directly supports its project execution.
We see this acquisition as a step that brings us closer to the grid and power evacuation requirement that go alongside renewable energy capacity addition in the country. And I will share more detail on this, along with the broader transmission and distribution opportunity a little later on this call. We are pleased to report a strong start for FY 2027. In this quarter, our revenue from operations stood at INR924.25 crores, reflecting a healthy growth of 53.23% over the same quarter of last year. EBITDA for the quarter comes at INR173.48 crores, while profit after tax stood at INR118.97 crores, registering a growth of 37.7% on a year-on-year basis. These results reflect not only the strength of our project execution capabilities, but also the quality of our order book and the operating discipline we have maintained. We believe this gives us a good foundation of growth as we move through the rest of the year. On the operational front, the quarter has also been encouraging for us. During Q1 FY '27, we executed 888.81 megawatt peak of projects and our consolidated unexecuted order book stood at INR5,300 crores, including T&D, which provides healthy visibility for the coming quarters to us. Our O&M portfolio stood at 1.15 gigawatt peak. This strengthened our recurring revenue base and also establish our relationship with the customer over the long period of time. Overall, we focused on timely execution, operational efficiency and consistency while expanding the scale of business. Let me now turn to the broader industry environment, where momentum across India's renewable energy sector remains strong. As of 30th June 2026, India's total installed renewable energy capacity stood at around 288 gigawatts, while cumulative solar capacity crossed 162 gigawatts within solar, ground-mounted projects accounted for around 121 gigawatt, grid- connected rooftop solar around 30 gigawatts, hybrid and off-grid solar together contributing the remaining capacity around 11 gigawatts. These numbers clearly shows the scale at which solar industry is growing in India and reflects the broader opportunity across utility scale and C&I segments. At the same time, the sector is also moving into the next phase of growth where storage and grid readiness will become even more important. India's battery energy storage requirement is projected at around 208 gigawatt hours by 2030. These trends gives us confidence that the renewable energy opportunity in India stay diversified, structurally attractive and full of long- term potential. Apart from solar capacity addition, India's Power Transmission Distribution segment is also seeing significant investment. As per the NEP published by Central Electricity Authority, the plan includes addition 76,787 circuit kilometers of transmission lines, 4,97,855 MVA of substation and 32,250 megawatts of HVDC during 2027 to 2032 with an estimated investment of INR4,90,920 crores. A significant portion of this expansion is driven by the need to evacuate and integrate growing renewable energy capacity into the national grid. We see this as a segment that will continue to offer strong opportunity in the coming years, supported by the renewable energy build-out already underway.
As I mentioned earlier, our acquisition of a 55% equity stake in Associated Power Structures marks a strategic step into the transmission and distribution segment, enabling us to address the growing demand for grid and the power evacuation infrastructure alongside renewable energy capacity additions. APSPL has a strong track record in power transmission distribution, including overhead transmission line, substation and grid infrastructure. The company has executed over 10,461+ circuit kilometers of transmission line and supplies tower and structure across India as well as international market. We believe its capabilities complement our existing renewable EPC business well, and we look forward to sharing more on the progress and contribution of this business in the coming quarters. Looking ahead, we are confident about the opportunity in front of us. The sector continues to benefit from strong policy support, increasing clear energy demand, growing storage requirements and a clear long-term push towards energy transition. In this environment, we believe Waaree Renewable Technologies is well positioned with its execution track record, healthy pipeline, growing O&M portfolio and expanding capabilities into the other EPC opportunity. Q1 FY '27 has given us a strong and encouraging start for the year. We stay focused on executing well, growing responsibly and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders. Thank you once again for your continued support. We will now be happy to take your questions.
