Capital Expenditure
The company has planned a massive backward integration project involving an investment of INR 1,400 Cr into its subsidiary, VSL Green Power Private Limited. This is part of a broader strategy to reach 17.5 GW module and 12 GW cell capacity by FY2027.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
The company's credit rating was upgraded from A to A+ in Q2 FY2026, reflecting a strong liquidity profile and prudent leverage. Gross debt stands at a low INR 80 Cr against a net worth of INR 2,950 Cr, resulting in a Debt/Equity ratio of 0.03x.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Key raw materials include solar photovoltaic cells, wafers, and critical minerals. Solar cells and wafers represent the most significant portion of the cost structure, though specific percentage breakdowns per material are not disclosed.
Import Sources
Raw materials are sourced from international markets, with the company monitoring global price volatility and regulatory changes regarding imports to ensure supply chain resilience.
Capacity Expansion
Current capacity is being expanded to reach a target of 17.5 GW for solar modules and 12 GW for solar cells by FY2027, aiming for 75% backward integration to secure the supply chain.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are subject to market volatility; however, the company utilizes pass-through clauses in contracts and order-backed procurement to mitigate the impact of price fluctuations on its 14.74% operating margin.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The solar industry is a central pillar of India's energy transition. Trends include rapid build-out of domestic manufacturing and policy support (like ALMM), which favors established players like Vikram Solar.
Competitive Landscape
The company faces rising competition from both domestic Indian manufacturers and large international entities in the solar PV space.
Competitive Moat
The moat is built on a 20-year brand reputation, strong product certifications, and a massive 11.15 GW order book which provides long-term revenue visibility. This is sustained by moving toward 75% backward integration, making the company less vulnerable to supply shocks.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
The business is sensitive to the Indian economy's energy transition policies and global shifts toward renewable energy, which drive the demand for its 11.15 GW order book.
Consumer Behavior
There is a growing adoption of solar energy across various segments in India, shifting demand toward high-efficiency modules.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade barriers or changes in import duties on solar cells and wafers from international markets pose a risk to the cost structure of module manufacturing.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Factories Act 1948, Solar PV manufacturing standards, and various Legal Metrology Rules. The company must also adhere to the Environment (Protection) Act and Trade Marks Act.
Environmental Compliance
The company spent INR 7.22 million on CSR activities in FY2025, including projects like 'Swachh Urja Ujjwal Bhavishya'. It complies with the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company paid INR 103 Cr in taxes for H1 FY2026, compared to INR 17 Cr in H1 FY2025, reflecting the massive jump in taxable profits.
Legal Contingencies
The Secretarial Audit Report for FY2025 indicates compliance with the Companies Act and other applicable laws, with no major dissenting views or pending material litigation values disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the 'Diversification Risk,' as the majority of revenue comes from solar PV modules; a decline in solar demand could significantly impact the business.
Geographic Concentration Risk
The company has a strong concentration in India but is diversifying through international offices in the US, Europe, and China.
Third Party Dependencies
There is a high dependency on third-party suppliers for solar cells and wafers, which the company is addressing through a INR 1,400 Cr backward integration capex.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company manages technology risk by investing in R&D and technical hiring to ensure its modules remain competitive against evolving solar technologies.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio improved from 2.34 to 2.84, indicating better collection efficiency and lower counterparty credit risk.
