FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FUTURE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Our Companys future results of operations could be affected potentially by the following factors:
Input costs
Our expenditure on raw material and components consumed represented 72.30%, 80.15% and 86.18% of our total revenue from operations for FY 2023-24, 2022-23 and 2021-22 respectively. Our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by the availability and cost of raw materials which we use in the providing turnkey solutions for EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Commissioning) services and supply of solar products.
Prices of our raw materials are influenced by, among other factors, changes in global economic conditions, industry cycles, demand-supply dynamics, attempts by particular producers to capture market share and speculation in the market. At times, we may not be able to pass on an increase in commodity or raw material prices to our customers. Nevertheless, we continually undertake efforts to reduce our costs in order to protect our margins.
Further, our Company may import raw materials from other countries where payments are made in foreign currencies, which leaves us vulnerable to exchange rate risk. This exposure to foreign exchange risk may also have a significant impact on our results of operations and profitability.
We rely on a selected group of suppliers for procurement of raw materials required for providing turnkey solutions for EPC services and supply of solar products. While this initiative has helped us in improving our operational efficiency, our supplier concentration risks may put us at a risk of interruptions in the availability of the required raw materials, which could reduce our net sales and adversely affect our results of operations.
Changes in product/ service mix and new product offerings
In addition to the total volume of transactions, our operating results also vary depending on product mix. We currently offer a range of Turnkey Solutions for Solar Projects, including Residential Rooftop Projects, Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") Rooftop and Ground-mounted Projects and Government Tenders as well as Products Sales. Our business sector mix has evolved over the years.
In past we were engaged in the manufacturing of Polycrystalline Solar Panel. We commenced our manufacturing operation in the year 2018 from our manufacturing facility located at Bavla, Gujarat for the Polycrystalline Solar Panel. However, we have put halt on our manufacturing operations from February 2024 in light of change in minimum module efficiency. From FY 2021-22, we were primarily engaged in providing Turnkey Solutions for Solar Projects, including Residential Rooftop Projects, Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") and Ground-mounted Projects and Products Sales. In FY 2022-23, we commenced our Government Tenders business. For further information, see "Business Overview" section, starting on page 126.

Changes in laws and regulations relating to the industry in which we operate
The renewable energy industry in which we operate is subject to constant change. Our business is heavily dependent on Government of India (GoI) and state government policies that encourage establishment and adoption of solar energy projects. We intend to continue growing our operations and presence in Indias solar sector especially given the favorable regulatory environment and several government initiatives. In particular, the solar energy industry benefits from various incentives including subsidies provided by the GoI and state government policies. For example, government projects are only permitted to procure solar PV modules of certain quality and specification from a limited number of select suppliers identified in the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM) circulated by MNRE. If any of the benefits or policies are adversely amended, eliminated or not extended beyond their current expiration dates, or if funding for these incentives is reduced, or if governmental support of renewable energy development, particularly solar energy, is discontinued or reduced, it could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We also cannot assure that laws or regulations will not be adopted, enforced or interpreted in the future in a manner that will not have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Any such adverse change in law or applicable policy may require us to face increased compliance costs, obtain additional approvals and licenses, and may also require us to alter our business strategy, or implement onerous requirements and conditions on our operations.
Ability to effectively execute and expand our order book
Our Companys order book as of a particular date comprises the estimated revenues from the total contract value of all the projects awarded to the company. Our Ongoing orderbook consists of 41 projects amounting to ? 16,529.45 Lakhs out of which revenue recognised till March 31, 2024, amounts to ? 5,589.61 Lakhs. The order book of the company is only in relation to Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") and Ground-mounted Projects and Government Projects. The manner in which we calculate and present our Companys order book information may vary from the manner in which such information is calculated and presented by other companies, including our competitors. Though, the order book information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is certified, it does not necessarily indicate our future earnings. Our order book should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures. Our order book and the new projects that we have and will continue to bid for in the future will have an effect on the revenues we will earn in the future. In addition, our project implementation schedule may vary due to various factors that may be beyond our control, including, among others, the availability of raw materials, timely delivery and execution of the order. These depend on various factors such as the value of the project, the timeline for completion and payments to be made as per the agreed timelines. For further details refer section "Risk Factors" starting on page 31.
Competition
The industry, in which we are operating, is highly and increasingly competitive and our results of operations and financial condition are sensitive to, and may be materially adversely affected by, competitive pricing and other factors. Competition may result in pricing pressures, reduced profit margins or lost market share or a failure to grow our market share, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we can effectively compete with our competitors in the future, and any such failure to compete effectively may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
There is a change in accounting policy in respect of retirement benefits to employees which was done on cash basis till March 31, 2024, the company has accounted for the same on accrual basis based on liability estimated by way of actuarial valuation report. The effect of such is given retrospectively in Restated Financial Statements.
For Significant accounting policies please refer "Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to Restated Financial Statements", "Annexure - D" beginning under Chapter titled "Restated Financial Information" beginning on page 198 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL YEAR 2022-23 WITH FINANCIAL YEAR 2021-22:
TOTAL INCOME:
Our total income decreased by 41.08% from ? 16,788.87 Lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ? 9,892.50 Lakhs in FY 202223, primarily due to a decrease in our revenue from operations and other income as discussed below:
Revenue from operations
Revenue from operations comprises of revenue from i) Residential rooftop projects; ii) Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") roof top and Ground Mounted projects; iii) Government Projects and iv) Revenue from Sales of products which are Solar PV Inverters, Availability Based Tariff (ABT) Meters, Solar PV (Photovoltaic) Modules and Other Solar Products. The total revenue from operations decreased by 40.97% from ? 16,736.91 Lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ? 9,878.98 Lakhs in FY 2022-23.
This decline was mainly result of decreased revenue from Sale of products specifically for sale of Solar modules. In FY 2022-23, we were engaged in the captive consumption of solar modules under turnkey solution segment produced by our then active manufacturing facility as well as direct supply of imported and domestically purchased solar modules. The decrease in sale of supply of solar modules is due to change in policy for the import of solar modules. Ministry ofNew & Renewable Energy vide its office memorandum dated March 09, 2021 increased the based custom duty (BCD) on Solar PV cells from 0% to 25% and for Solar modules from 0% to 40%, w.e.f. April 01, 2022. This policy change led to an immediate surge in module costs, which adversely impacted our purchasing and, consequently, our revenue. As a result, revenue from panel sales decreased from ?9,756.86 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ?3,027.72 lakhs in FY 2022-23.
Further, Revenue from Commercial, Industrial & Ground Mounted Projects decreased from ? 2,697.06 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ? 677.15 Lakhs in FY 2022-23. Our company has worked on Ground Mounted Project in FY 202122 which was high in value. However, no such projects was completed in FY 2022-23, which resulted in decreasing trend in revenue from Commercial, Industrial & Ground Mounted Projects.

Cost of Materials consumed
The cost of material consumed decreased by 45.10% from ? 14,423.08 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ? 7,917.58 lakhs in FY 2022-23. Raw materials like solar invertor, solar module, solar controller, mounting structure, earthing materials like earthing cables, earthing rod, earthing bag Packing Material, Stores & Consumables are required to install solar systems. Cost of Materials consumed decreased on account decreased Purchases of Raw Materials during the FY 2022-23 in line with the decrease of revenue from operations.
Cost of Materials consumed amounted to 80.04% of total income in FY 2022-23 as compared to 85.91% of total income in 2023-24. The decrease in cost of material consumed is due to decreased purchase of imported and domestic solar modules for the purpose of direct supply as well as consumption for our turnkey solutions. As there was increase in import duty w.e.f. April 01, 2022 for solar cells as well as solar modules, the supply of the same was heavily disrupted resulting into decreased sales and cost of materials consumed.

Finance Cost
Finance costs rose from ?77.98 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ?143.03 lakhs in FY 2022-23, reflecting an increase of 83.42% as our company has taken new cash credit in FY 2022-23.
Depreciation
Depreciation and amortization increased from ?97.85 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ?163.08 lakhs in FY 2022-23. This is the result of high capital expenditure amounts to ? 242.64 Lakhs in FY 2022-23.

The decrease was mainly due to Installation & Commissioning Service Expenses, which decreased from ? 1,109.71 lakhs in FY 2021-22 to ? 411.52 Lakhs in FY 2022-23. This decline was a result of decreased revenue from commercial, industrial, and ground-mounted projects.
