GigaFactory Expansion and Revenue Guidance

Pace Digitek is advancing its GigaFactory expansion with defined capacity milestones, targeting 2.5 GWh of battery manufacturing capacity by Q2 FY27 and 5 GWh of backward integration by Q3 FY27. This is part of the company's broader plan to scale BESS manufacturing capacity from 2.5 GWh to 10 GWh to support the growing order book.

Management has provided revenue guidance of ₹3,200–3,400 crore for FY27 and ₹4,000–4,200 crore for FY28, underpinned by the strong order book and structural demand for energy transition infrastructure.

Installation and commissioning activities for an additional 2.5 GWh manufacturing line are in advanced stages, with completion expected in July 2026. This expansion will increase the total installed capacity from 2.5 GWh to 5 GWh. Infrastructure development for the next 5 GWh phase is substantially complete, with production line orders placed and operations targeted for Q3 FY27. Additionally, a dedicated container fabrication facility is expected to become operational in Q2 FY27 to enhance backward integration and supply chain control.
