Rating Rationale

­Acuite has assigned its long-term rating to 'ACUITE AA-' (read as ACUITE double A minus) and its short-term rating of 'ACUITE A1+' (read as ACUITE A one plus) on the bank loan facilities of Rs. 900 Cr. of INOX Renewable Solutions Limited (IRSL). The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for Rating
The assignment of the rating continues to factor in the IWL Group's established track record in the wind energy sector and strong revenue visibility supported by a healthy unexecuted order book of over Rs. 25,000 crore as on June 30, 2026. The order book comprises contracts for the supply of more than 4.2 GW of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs), EPC activities, including erection & commissioning and O&M portfolio under turnkey projects.

The rating further derives strength from the group's improving scale of operations, with operating income increasing to Rs. 4,397.12 crore in FY2026 from Rs. 3,557.19 crore in FY2025. The financial risk profile remains strong, supported by a healthy net worth base and comfortable gearing levels. The group's liquidity profile also remains strong, aided by the infusion of Rs. 1,250 crore through a rights issue in August 2025, the proceeds of which were utilized, in part, towards the redemption of Rs. 560 crore of Non-Convertible, Non-Cumulative, Participating Redeemable Preference Shares (NCPRPS) and balance towards working capital management.

The ratings continue to factor in the strong group linkages by virtue of IRSL being a part of the INOXGFL group. INOXGFL group has an established presence in the speciality chemicals through its flagship company, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL) and its presence in the renewable energy segment INOX Clean Energy Limited (ICEL).

The above strengths, however, are partly offset by the group's working capital-intensive operations, characterized by a stretched receivables cycle, which remains a key rating sensitivity. Working capital intensity increased during FY 26, with debtor days rising to 353 days from 276 days in FY 25. The elongation in the receivables cycle is primarily attributable to delays in project commissioning, as collections are linked to the achievement of specified project milestones. Further, the group's profitability remains susceptible, albeit to a limited extent, to fluctuations in the prices of key raw materials. The rating is also constrained by the regulatory and policy-related risks inherent in the renewable energy sector.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Strong Group Linkages being part of INOXGFL group
IRSL group benefits from strong group linkages arising from being a part of the INOXGFL Group, which has an established presence in the speciality chemicals segment through its another flagship company, Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFL), and a diversified presence in the renewable energy segment through INOX Clean Energy Limited, and multiple step subsidiaries across the chain. The group is promoted by the Jain family, which holds a significant stake in IWL and other group entities, either directly or through its investment holding company, Inox Leasing and Finance Limited (ILFL). Acuité notes that the INOXGFL Group has historically
demonstrated a strong commitment towards supporting its group companies, including IWL, which has been instrumental in the company’s revival. The group has infused over Rs. 2,000 crore in the past three financial years, providing strong comfort from a credit perspective regarding the group’s stated support posture towards its diversified business interests.

Improving Scale of Operations & Profitability
The group reported significant improvement in the scale of operations which stood at Rs. 4,397.12 Cr. in FY 26 against Rs. 3,557.19 Cr. in FY 25. The increase in the topline is on an account of additional order book bagged and timely execution of same has been done which resulted into ~23% of growth in FY 26 as compared to FY 25. The EBITDA improved from Rs. 761.36 Cr. in FY 25 to Rs. 891.4 Cr. in FY 26. The operating margin slightly moderated from 21.40% in FY 25 to 20.27% in FY 26. The decline in EBITDA margin at the consolidated level during FY26 was primarily attributable to a change in the revenue mix. The profitability of the EPC and O&M segments moderated during the year, reducing their contribution to overall margins. Consequently, despite healthy growth in revenues and absolute EBITDA, the increased share of relatively lower-margin segment in the revenue mix exerted pressure on the overall margin, resulting in a decline in consolidated EBITDA margin during FY26. Simultaneously, the PAT margin declined from 12.23% in FY 25 to 10.21% in FY 26. Further, the group reported Rs. 814.1 crore of net revenue with EBITDA of Rs. 152.49 crore and PAT of Rs. 64.09 crore as on 30th June 2026. Acuite believes that the scale of operations will improve in near to medium term on the account of strong unexecuted order book.

Strong Financial Risk Profile
The financial risk profile of the group is strong marked by high net worth, low gearing and comfortable debt protection metrices. The tangible net worth improved from Rs. 5,361.85 Cr. in FY 25 to Rs. 7,422.57 Cr. in FY 26. The improvement in net worth is mainly due accretion of profits into reserves and infusion of funds through right issue for Rs. 1,250 Cr. in August 2025. The infusion of funds was partially utilized towards the repayment of Non-Convertible, Non Cumulative, Participating Redeemable Preference Shares (NCPRPS) of Rs. 560 Cr. and balance towards working capital & ongoing capital expenditure. The gearing ratio of the group improved & stood at 0.21 times in FY 26 against 0.28 times in FY 25. The TOL/TNW slightly moderated at 0.54 times in FY 26 against 0.53 times in FY 25. The debt coverage indicators marked by ISCR & DSCR stood at 5.32 & 2.55 times in FY 26 respectively. The debt/EBITDA stood comfortable at 1.49 times in FY 26 against 1.69 times in FY 25. Acuite believes that the financial risk profile is expected to further improve over the near to medium term, supported by improved profitability and the absence of any major debt-funded capital expenditure plans in the near term.

Robust Order Book Position
As on June 30, 2026, the IWL group had a healthy unexecuted order book of over Rs. 25,000 crore, comprising wind turbine generator (WTG) supply orders aggregating 4.2 GW, EPC orders of more than Rs. 7,000 crore and healthy O&M portfolio of 13+ GW under full turnkey projects. The order book remains well diversified across a broad customer base, including central public sector undertakings (PSUs) as well as established private sector entities in the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) segment. Acuite believes that the sizeable and diversified order book provides strong revenue visibility over the medium term and is expected to support sustained growth in the group's scale of operations.

Weaknesses
Working capital-intensive operations marked by stretched receivables profile
The group's working capital profile remains a key rating sensitivity, as reflected in the significantly elongated Gross Current Asset (GCA) cycle of 592 days in FY2026. The elevated working capital intensity is primarily driven by substantially high receivable levels, with debtor days increasing to 353 days in FY2026. While collections are linked to the achievement of project milestones, including supply, erection, commissioning and grid connectivity, the persistently stretched receivables indicate sizeable execution-linked collection delays and constrain the group's liquidity position. The high dependency on timely realization of milestone based payments exposes the group to counterparty and project execution risks. Sustained improvement in receivables management and moderation in the working capital cycle will remain key monitorable from a credit perspective over the near to medium term.

Susceptibility of profitability to input price volatility and regulatory risks
The profitability remains exposed to volatility in the prices of key input materials as well as regulatory and policy-related risks inherent in the wind energy sector. The company manufactures critical WTG components such as nacelles, hubs, and rotor blades, and any sharp increase in the prices of key raw materials, including steel, aluminium, and fibre composites, could adversely impact operating margins, especially in the absence of adequate price-pass-through mechanisms. Further, the company’s business prospects are sensitive to the regulatory environment governing the renewable energy sector, and any adverse policy developments or delays in implementation could impede the recovery momentum in the wind segment, thereby affecting IWL’s order inflows and overall operating performance as a wind OEM.
ESG Factors Relevant for Rating
The group demonstrates a strong alignment with ESG principles through its core business of manufacturing wind turbine generators and providing renewable energy solutions that support India's clean energy transition. On the environmental front, the company contributes to reducing carbon emissions through the deployment of wind energy projects and continues to strengthen sustainability disclosures through its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). From a social perspective, the company focuses on employee welfare, workplace safety, and skil development while creating employment opportunities across its manufacturing and project execution activities. Governance practices are supported by established board oversight, regulatory compliance, transparency, and stakeholder engagement, underpinning responsible and sustainable business growth
 

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Improvement in the scale of operations by 25% along with sustained profitability margins at current levels.
  • Improvement in working capital cycle
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Deterioration in the financial risk profile or weakening of liquidity position which could adversely impact debt coverage indicators.
  • Further stretches in debtor profile leading to further elongation of working capital cycle.
  • Decline in operating margin below 17%.
Liquidity Position
Strong
The group's liquidity profile remains strong, supported by healthy net cash accruals of Rs. 653.54 crore in FY  26, which comfortably covered its debt obligations of Rs. 134.77 crore during the same period. Further, the group had cash and bank balances of Rs. 130.81 crores as on March 31, 2026, providing additional liquidity support. The current ratio stood comfortable at 1.89 times in FY 26, reflecting adequate short-term liquidity. The average fund based & non-fund-based utilization for last five months ended June 2026 is 84.10%. Acuite believes that the liquidity profile is likely to remain strong over the medium term, driven by steady cash accruals and the absence of any major debt-funded capital expenditure plans
