Rationale for Rating The rating assigned reflects the established track record of the management with more than a decade in setting up the ground mount and rooftop solar platforms for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The company has a healthy unexecuted order book of Rs. 871.22 Cr. mainly from PSU (Public Sector Undertakings) indicates revenue visibility over medium term. The company witnessed the significant growth in scale of operations with recording revenue of Rs. 308.33 Cr. in FY 25 (Prov.) against Rs. 141.6 Cr. in FY 24. The rating gets additional comfort on healthy financial risk profile and adequate liquidity. However, rating gets constrained with intensive working capital operations and highly competitive industry with tender based nature of operations. |
