REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
Revenue from Operations
The revenue generated from operations during the period ending on December 31, 2023, aggregating to 4,023.07 lakhs, representing 99.75% of the total income.
There was marginal reduction in average selling price of 6% of solar panels, however thats not the sole reason due to which there is major increase in turnover.
There have been 123.33% increase in turnover on annualised basis in the Fiscal 2024 vis-a-vis Fiscal 2023, due to which our indirect cost as a % in relation to turnover decreased resulting in higher PAT margin. Also, our operating margin also increased during the year. During the FY 2024, there was reduction in sales price of the product in which company deals vis a vis reduction in cost price of the modules and invertors which are required to effect the sale. There was major reduction of 21% in cost of solar module. Solar modules cost comprises of 70% of the total cost of the project. Looking at the demand supply scenario in the sector and considering the inelasticity of supply, we passed on part of the benefit received by us to the end consumer and which resulted in attracting some of the customers.
Major reason for significant increase in turnover were:
- Previously, our primary focus was on government tenders and their related departments. However, government business relies heavily on government policies and budgets, making it highly dependent and unpredictable.
Additionally, the government process is lengthy, causing delays in order completion and affecting our ability to quickly finish projects, which in turn delays other orders.
- To address these issues, we shifted our focus from government contracts to the private sector. This change allowed us to complete projects more quickly. We expanded our team and increased our efforts to secure private contracts. As a result, we received and completed several orders on time.
External factors i.e. focus on government policies and incentives, environmental awareness & sustainability trends, consumer behaviour and grid stability. the government has recently introduced supportive policies for private enterprises, which has further helped us in obtaining quick orders and improving our business efficiency.

#Considering our relationship and experience we could get the better terms. Looking at the demand supply scenario in the sector and considering the inelasticity of supply, we passed on part of the benefit received by us to the end consumer. Therefore, there is an improvement in the operating margin.
During the FY 2024, there was reduction in sales price of the product in which company deals vis a vis reduction in cost price of the modules and invertors which are required to effect the sale. There was major reduction of 21% in cost of solar module. Solar modules cost comprises of 70% of the total cost of the project. As shown in the table above, the above mentioned factors have led to an increase in gross profit of ~10%. Furthermore, even though our turnover have increased fixed expenses (grouped under other expenses in financial statements) are bound to remain the same considering majority of which are overheads. In FY 2023 Other Expenses were aggregating to INR 153.1 Lakhs i.e. 6.38% of Sales and for FY 2024 i.e. the period ended December 31, 2023, Other Expenses were aggregating to INR 106.8 Lakhs i.e. 2.65% of Sales, resulting in increase in our PAT margin as compared to previous year.
The external factors contributing to the improvement in business are focus on government policies and incentives, environmental awareness & sustainability trends, consumer behaviour and grid stability. Further, there was rapid increase in operations and demand in solar sector in recent period and company has doubled its revenue. Based on
Revenue bifurcation shared on DRHP at page no. 112 under Business Chapter, there has been increase of "Revenue generated from Commercial and Industrial Projects" and "Revenue Generated from Trading of Solar Module and Solar Inverter" which contribute 77.71% of total revenue.
We would like to mention that the Companys revenue is growing in line with the growth in the Industry considering several factors, including increasing demand for green energy sources, favourable government policies, growing environmental awareness and a global move towards sustainable energy solutions.
Further, we would like to reiterate that there was a reduction in the prices for Solar Modules. These benefits availed by the Company of price reduction which considering the demand supply scenario in the Industry. The Company had decided to pass on the part of such benefits to end consumers which led to improvement in the gross margins of the Company. These improvements in the gross margins led to the improvement in the overall PAT and PAT margin as other operating costs reamined inline with the revenue of the Company.
It may be noted that the improvement in margin is reflcted in the Cash Flow from Operating Activities before the changes in working capital and the burden of Working capital in view of the Companys strategy to keep the inventory handy to complete the projects on time and paying the vendors / suppliers in advance (including for few even before the agreed credit period) to get the priority for supplies. The strategy of the Company is inline with industrys demand supply scenario and to ensure smooth functioning and ensure timely delivery of projects.
