Cell costs (60-63% of container cost) are at peak levels of $48-50/kWh due to China rebate policy changes and Middle East shipping disruptions. Management has used price contingency in bids and built inventory buffer for Q1, but sustained high costs could pressure margins.
Receivables grew 32% YoY (vs 8.3% revenue growth) and inventory increased significantly (INR 540 crore) for strategic stocking. CFO expects normalization by September 2026 with INR 300 crore already collected from Q4 sales. However, telecom receivables include 5-year retention from BSNL project.
An analyst (Sankit S) flagged a INR 399 crore discrepancy in FY25 receivables between the RHP/annual report (INR 1,843 crore) and Q4 FY26 results balance sheet (INR 1,565 crore). Management attributed it to reclassification into non-current portion but the discrepancy remains unexplained to the analyst's satisfaction, suggesting potential accounting treatment concerns.
An analyst questioned whether the holding company books EPC profits from subsidiary projects at arm's length pricing, effectively double-counting returns (EPC margin + BO IRR of 12-13%). Management defended this as standard market practice but did not provide specific margin details, leaving profitability attribution unclear.
