Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue grew 105% YoY in FY25 to INR 3,701.55 Cr. In Q2 FY26, consolidated revenue reached INR 1,162 Cr, a 56% YoY increase. The O&M segment (Inox Green) saw a 101% YoY revenue increase to INR 129.5 Cr in Q2 FY26, driven by portfolio expansion to 12.5 GW.
Geographic Revenue Split
Primarily India-based operations. Global wind installations reached 117 GW in 2024, with China dominating at 68%. IWL is positioning to capture growth in the Indian market which is benefiting from favorable policies like ALMM and ISTS connectivity amendments.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin improved significantly to 11.00% in FY25 from -15.00% in FY24 due to operational efficiencies. Q2 FY26 Profit After Tax (PAT) was INR 121 Cr, up 43% YoY, while Profit Before Tax (PBT) rose 93% YoY to INR 169 Cr.
EBITDA Margin
Operating Profit Margin stood at 17.34% in FY25, a 110.69% improvement YoY. Q2 FY26 EBITDA was INR 271 Cr (approx. 23.3% margin), up 48% YoY, reflecting better absorption of fixed costs through higher execution volumes.
Capital Expenditure
The company raised INR 1,250 Cr through a rights issue and INR 900 Cr via NCRPS to strengthen the balance sheet. Subsidiary IGESL raised INR 1,050 Cr for O&M acquisitions, including a 6.5 GW wind asset portfolio.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company maintains a focus on debt reduction, evidenced by a 46.57% decrease in the Debt-Equity ratio to 0.24x in FY25 following a merger that reduced liabilities by INR 2,050 Cr. Interest coverage ratio improved 414% to 0.62x.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include steel, aluminum, and fiber composites used in the manufacturing of nacelles, hubs, rotor blades, and towers.
Import Sources
Not explicitly disclosed, though the company monitors global supply chain disruptions and trade barriers affecting project economics.
Capacity Expansion
FY25 execution increased 88% to 705 MW. H1 FY26 execution reached 350 MW (202 MW in Q2), with management targeting H2 to represent 70% of annual execution. The O&M portfolio expanded to 12.5 GW.
Raw Material Costs
Input price volatility in steel and aluminum is noted as a risk that can impact profitability margins. Procurement strategies include tracking regulatory changes and maintaining a comprehensive risk mitigation framework.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Inventory turnover ratio improved 83% to 2.43x in FY25, indicating faster movement of turbine components and commissioning schedules.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
65-70%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by the execution of a 3.2 GW order book (valued at INR 22,433.84 Cr), the launch of technologically advanced 4.X MW WTGs, and the expansion of the O&M portfolio to 12.5 GW. The company is also pivoting toward long-term framework agreements with IPPs for recurring order visibility.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The Indian wind sector is in a multi-decadal growth phase boosted by a favorable regulatory environment, including ALMM for wind and GST reduction on components from 12% to 5%.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with other wind OEMs; maintains edge through end-to-end solutions (manufacturing to O&M) and a large, diversified order book.
Competitive Moat
Sustainable advantages include a massive 12.5 GW O&M portfolio providing recurring high-margin revenue, deep integration within the INOXGFL Group, and a 90-year group legacy.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to interest rate changes and inflation which impact project IRR for customers and borrowing costs for the company.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward hybrid (wind-solar) projects and round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy requirements from utilities and IPPs.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers and protectionist policies are identified as threats to the global wind sector expansion.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Compliance with ALMM (Approved List of Models and Manufacturers) for wind and CERC connectivity/GNA regulations for ISTS.
Environmental Compliance
ESG practices independently assured by EY; participated in S&Pās CSA 2024.
Taxation Policy Impact
Benefiting from the reduction of GST on wind components from 12% to 5%, which improves project economics for clients.
Legal Contingencies
The scheme of demerger for the substation business has received shareholder and creditor approval and is awaiting final statutory approvals.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Execution delays due to monsoon or land/transmission issues could impact annual guidance, as H2 is expected to carry 70% of the workload.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Concentrated in the Indian market, specifically in wind-resource-rich states for project execution.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependence on external suppliers for specialized components like fiber composites and steel.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Mitigated by the transition to higher capacity 4.X MW turbine platforms.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Elongated receivable cycles and high working capital intensity (80%+ utilization) pose liquidity risks if payments from customers are delayed.
