Suzlon Energy , a prominent player in India's wind energy sector, is maintaining its full-year growth guidance at 60%, despite achieving a 70% revenue increase in the first half. This announcement comes amidst a slight decline in the company's share price, which fell 0.55% to ₹59.66, despite reporting robust quarterly results.
Strong Q2 Performance and Growth Outlook
Suzlon Energy posted impressive financial results for the second quarter:
| Metric | Q2 Value | YoY Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₹3,870.00 crore | 84% |
| EBITDA | ₹720.00 crore | 145% |
| Deliveries | 565 MW | Record high |
The 565 MW delivery volume marks a significant milestone, being the highest quarterly figure in the 30-year history of India's wind industry.
Suzlon Group CEO JP Chalasani confirmed that the company's 6.2 GW order book remains secure despite recent tender cancellations by the Ministry of Power. Contracts are signed only after power purchase agreements are finalized, providing stability to the order book.
Government Measures and Domestic Manufacturing
Chalasani stated that recent government measures, including amended Listed Models and Manufacturers norms and the Renewable Energy Equipment Import Monitoring System, will strengthen domestic manufacturing and create a level playing field against cheaper imports. Suzlon sources over 90% of its components domestically and plans to use policy benefits to sustain affordable tariffs rather than increase margins.
Analyst Perspectives
Despite the strong results and positive outlook, analysts have expressed some concerns about long-term growth sustainability:
JM Financial
- Maintained 'Buy' rating
- Target price: ₹70.00
- Concerns: Growth sustainability beyond FY28
- Reasons: Execution bottlenecks including connectivity issues and land acquisition constraints
- Projection: Annual wind installations likely capped at 7-8 GW
- EBITDA growth forecast: Moderation from 61% to 17% in FY28
Motilal Oswal
- Retained 'Buy' rating
- Revised target price: ₹74.00 (up from previous)
- Adjustments:
- Lowered valuation multiple to 30x from 35x
- Raised estimates by 8% due to lower tax rates
- Note: Creation of deferred tax asset of ₹720.00 crore
While both brokerage firms maintain a positive outlook with 'Buy' ratings, they have highlighted potential challenges that could impact Suzlon Energy's growth trajectory in the long term.
The contrast between Suzlon's robust current performance and the analysts' long-term concerns presents an interesting dynamic in the wind energy sector. The company's market capitalization stands at ₹82,190.00 crore, though shares have declined over 13% in the past year. Investors may need to consider these factors alongside the company's current strong performance and management's confident outlook when making investment decisions.
