Vikram Solar IPO – Riding India’s Renewable Energy Wave

By Sudarshan Bhandari

  • Vikram Solar’s IPO launch with INR 1,500 crore fresh issue underscores its ambition to fund large-scale expansion, boosting installed capacity from 4.5 GW to 20.5 GW by FY27.
  • A robust 10.3 GW order book and Tier-1 global recognition reinforce demand visibility and credibility, positioning the company strongly amid India’s accelerating renewable transition.
  • Execution risks in new facilities, raw material price volatility, and premium valuations temper the growth story, requiring cautious optimism from investors.

Vikram Solar IPO: Scaling Domestic Manufacturing Amid Policy Tailwinds and Execution Risks

By Rahul Jain

  • Funds Raised: The IPO aims to raise ~₹1,500 crore through a mix of fresh issue and OFS, strengthening balance sheet and funding expansion.
  • Future Plans & Objects: Proceeds will be deployed toward cell/module capacity expansion under the PLI scheme, working capital, and debt reduction.
  • The IPO benefits from strong policy and industry tailwinds, but execution challenges, import dependence, and margin volatility remain key risks.
