KPI Green Energy delivered robust top-line growth in Q1FY27 with revenue rising 16% to ₹710 crore and EBITDA increasing 21% to ₹262 crore. However, net profit fell 15% to ₹95 crore due to higher financing costs and depreciation linked to asset expansion.

KPI Green Energy reported a consolidated revenue of ₹7,098.16 lakh (₹710 crore) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY27), marking a 15.58% year-on-year increase from ₹6,141.19 lakh in Q1FY26. The company’s EBITDA rose by 21% to approximately ₹2,620 lakh (₹262 crore), reflecting improved operating leverage. However, consolidated net profit declined 14.99% to ₹946.33 lakh (₹95 crore) from ₹1,113.17 lakh in the previous year, as higher operating income was offset by increased finance costs and depreciation charges associated with its expanding asset base.
Financial Performance
Revenue from operations stood at ₹6,938.40 lakh, driven primarily by the sale of captive power projects which contributed ₹5,774.06 lakh, while revenue from power sales and services added ₹1,155.70 lakh. Profit before tax contracted to ₹1,308.70 lakh from ₹1,491.97 lakh in Q1FY26. The debt-equity ratio increased significantly to 1.84 from 0.46 in the previous year, indicating a strategic shift towards higher leverage to fund growth initiatives. Basic EPS fell 17.80% to ₹4.34 from ₹5.28.

Kriplani succeeds Salim Yahoo, who resigned citing personal family emergencies. Kriplani brings over 21 years of experience, having previously served as Senior Vice President - Finance & Global Head Treasury and Taxation at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited.
The Board also approved the appointment of MSKC & Associates LLP as Statutory Auditors for a five-year term, subject to member approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

What the Numbers Show
The divergence between EBITDA growth (+21%) and PAT decline (-15%) highlights the capital-intensive nature of KPI Green Energy’s current expansion phase. The sharp rise in the debt-equity ratio from 0.46 to 1.84 suggests that the company is leveraging debt to fuel its pipeline of utility-scale IPP and BESS projects. While top-line momentum remains strong with a 16% revenue increase, the pressure on net margins indicates that earnings visibility will depend on the timely commissioning of new assets like the Bikaner and Khavda projects to generate cash flows that can service the increased leverage.
