Solarworld Energy Solutions has scheduled its 13th Annual General Meeting for September 30, 2026. The meeting will be conducted through video conferencing or other audio-visual means.
The company published the notice in Financial Express and Jansatta on September 8, 2026. This disclosure complies with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. It also aligns with General Circular No. 03/2025 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on September 22, 2025.
Key Agenda Items
The AGM notice outlines several critical resolutions for shareholder approval, including significant changes to capital structure and project deployment.
Borrowing and Investment Limits
Shareholders are asked to approve a substantial increase in the company’s financial flexibility. The Board seeks approval to enhance borrowing limits under Section 180(1)(c) of the Companies Act, 2013, from ₹1,000 crore to ₹5,000 crore.
Concurrently, the company is seeking approval to create charges on assets to secure these borrowings under Section 180(1)(a). Additionally, limits for making investments, extending loans, and providing guarantees under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013, are proposed to be enhanced from ₹1,000 crore to ₹5,000 crore over and above statutory limits.
Shift in IPO Proceeds Deployment
A major special resolution involves varying the objects of the initial public offering prospectus dated September 25, 2025. Originally, proceeds were earmarked for a 1.2 GW solar PV TopCon Cell manufacturing facility in Pandhurana, Madhya Pradesh (the "Pandhurana Project").
The company now proposes to utilize the unutilized IPO proceeds of ₹4,200 million for a new joint venture with Rays Power Infra Limited. The new entity, Rays Green Energy Manufacturing Private Limited, will establish a 2.4 GW Solar PV n-type TOPCon G12R cell manufacturing plant in Narmadapuram, Madhya Pradesh.
| Metric | Original Pandhurana Project | New Joint Venture Project |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1.2 GW | 2.4 GW |
| Estimated Cost | ₹5,752.99 million | ₹10,000 million |
| Capital Cost per GW | ~₹480 crore | ~₹417 crore |
| Location | Pandhurana, MP | Narmadapuram, MP |
The new project is estimated at approximately ₹10,000 crore. The company will contribute ₹4,200 million from unutilized IPO proceeds (equity of ₹1,000 million and loan of ₹3,200 million). Rays Power Infra Limited will fund ₹1,000 million, while Bhadani Financers Private Limited and Bank of Maharashtra have sanctioned facilities of ₹2,300 million and ₹2,500 million respectively for the balance.
Director Re-appointment and Cost Audit
Mr. Mangal Chand Teltia, Non-Executive Non-Independent Director, retires by rotation and offers himself for re-appointment. The Board also seeks ratification of remuneration for Cost Auditors M/s MM & Associates for FY26-27, set at ₹65,000 plus applicable taxes.
