Waaree Energies Ltd. has entered into a one-time agreement to supply 500 MW of solar modules to a domestic Independent Power Producer (IPP). The contract specifies an execution timeline for FY 2026–27. The modules will be utilized for grid-connected solar power generation projects, aligning with the customer’s specific project commissioning and grid-connection deadlines.

Order Specifications and Technical Integration

The supply order supports Waaree’s ongoing backward integration strategy. Modules provided under this contract are expected to incorporate solar cells manufactured at the company’s recently inaugurated facility in Gujarat. By utilizing internally produced cells, the company aims to maintain margin stability and ensure supply chain traceability for large-scale domestic utility projects. The delivery schedule is structured to meet the IPP’s requirements for power generation assets within the Indian market.

Financial Context and Order Book Growth

The company has reported a trajectory of growth in its contractual obligations and financial performance. As of March 2026, Waaree’s total order book stands at approximately ₹60,000 Crore, an increase from the approximately ₹49,000 Crore reported in June 2025.

Key financial metrics for Q3 FY 2025-26 include:

  • Revenue from Operations: ₹7,565 Crore (a 119% year-on-year increase).
  • Net Profit: ₹1,062 Crore.
  • Operating Profit: ₹1,928 Crore.

This facility occupies a 150-acre site (with 101 acres of built-up area) and provides the cell capacity necessary to support large-volume module supply contracts.

The ministry recently added 17,268 MW of solar module capacity, which includes Waaree’s own manufacturing lines. This expansion brings the total cumulative capacity under the ALMM to 162,109 MW, facilitating the procurement of domestically manufactured components for grid-connected projects.
