The earnings call summary reflects a mix of positive financial performance, with a 43% YoY growth in adjusted EBITDA and improved margins, but also highlights risks such as regulatory hurdles and strategic execution challenges. The Q&A section reveals concerns about competition, land acquisition, and management's unclear responses on sales projections. While strong financials and optimistic guidance are present, uncertainties and strategic risks balance the sentiment, leading to a neutral prediction for stock price movement.
Adjusted EBITDA INR 27.2 billion, a 43% growth year-over-year. The increase is attributed to higher wind PLFs, new project commissions, and contributions from the manufacturing business.

Manufacturing Business Contribution to Adjusted EBITDA INR 5.3 billion for the quarter, with a margin of over 40%. The higher contribution is due to external sales and cost advantages from procurement ahead of time.
EBITDA Margins in IPP Business Improved from 80.7% to almost 82%, supported by cost optimization initiatives.
Operating Capacity Increased by 23% year-over-year after adjusting for asset sales, with 2.2 gigawatts of projects constructed over the past year.
Solar and Wind Capacity Commissioned 700 megawatts year-to-date, including 650 megawatts of solar and 50 megawatts of wind.
Leverage at Operating Asset Level 5.7x EBITDA, below the 6x threshold, with reductions supported by cash flow contributions from the manufacturing business.
