Bear-case history

Risks carried through the record.

Margin compression from rising raw material costs

EVA and aluminum costs increased in Q4 due to crude oil and aluminum price hikes, partially offset by lower cell prices. EBITDA per watt guidance of ₹1.75-2 for non-DCR may be at risk if input costs rise further.

Execution delays in cell plant commissioning

9 GW cell plant has a tight timeline with first cell by Dec 2026 and full ramp by Q2 FY28. Any delay could impact backward integration benefits and DCR margin capture.

DCR cell supply dependency on procurement agreement

For FY27, 2 GW of DCR modules rely on a procurement deal with Jupiter International. Any disruption in supply or unfavorable pricing could affect margins.
