Websol Energy System Limited declared a final dividend of ₹0.25 per equity share for FY26. The Board approved the payout during its meeting on April 27, 2026.

The dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for September 22, 2026. Investors holding shares on the record date will be eligible for the distribution.

Dividend Details

The Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Ashok Purohit, confirmed the intimation to stock exchanges on August 29, 2026. The payout represents a 25% return on the face value of the equity shares.

Websol Energy System filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 on August 29, 2026. The filing details the company’s operational footprint, environmental metrics, and governance frameworks for the period ending March 31, 2026.

The Kolkata-based solar cell and module manufacturer reported a turnover of ₹1,049.44 crore and a net worth of ₹630.71 crore. The report highlights that 99.96% of the company's turnover stems from the manufacturing of photovoltaic solar cells and modules.

Operational and Workforce Metrics

The company operates from one plant and one office in India, serving customers across 15 states domestically and one international market. Exports contributed a marginal 0.12% to total turnover. The workforce comprises 140 employees and 855 workers as of the end of FY26.

Turnover rates for permanent employees stood at 23%, while permanent workers recorded a 24% turnover rate. The company noted that employee turnover data has been disclosed for the first time in FY26 following strengthened reporting processes.

Environmental Impact

Energy consumption remains a critical focus for Websol Energy. Total energy consumed from non-renewable sources was 1,76,507.28 GJ, while renewable sources contributed 0 GJ in FY26, compared to 35,901 GJ in FY25. The discrepancy in year-on-year figures is attributed to changes in measurement methodology and standardization approaches adopted in the current year.

Water withdrawal increased significantly to 3,37,221.12 kilolitres, primarily sourced from groundwater, up from 1,62,438.20 kilolitres in FY25. Total water consumption was 1,55,902.64 kilolitres. The company discharged 1,81,318.48 kilolitres of treated water to third parties.

Greenhouse gas emissions data shows total Scope 1 emissions at 224.60 tCO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 34,508.15 tCO2e. The company has not yet estimated Scope 3 emissions. Waste generation totaled 9,327.97 metric tonnes, with battery waste accounting for the largest share at 8,568 metric tonnes.

Governance and Social Initiatives

The board includes two female directors, representing 33% of the total board strength. Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) positions remain entirely male-led. The company reported four shareholder complaints during FY26, all of which were resolved by year-end. No complaints were received regarding communities, investors, or employees.

CSR provisions were not applicable for FY26 as the company did not meet the statutory criteria under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. However, the company undertook community engagement activities benefiting over 1,265 individuals through health screenings, education support, and medical aid initiatives.

What the Numbers Show

A notable divergence exists in the company's environmental reporting metrics between FY25 and FY26. While non-renewable energy consumption appears to have decreased drastically in absolute terms (from 2,70,45,092 GJ to 1,76,507.28 GJ), the report explicitly states that the FY25 figure is not directly comparable due to differences in measurement methodology. Similarly, waste generation surged from 95.16 MT to 9,327.97 MT, driven by a comprehensive assessment of all plant waste sources in FY26 rather than an actual operational spike. These methodological shifts suggest improved data granularity rather than a sudden change in physical resource intensity.
