Outlook

The financial and operational performance of these select leading solar and wind equipment manufacturers improved in FY 2025-26. In the solar segment, companies such as Waaree Energies, Vikram Solar and Emmvee Photovoltaic Power reported growing revenues, profits and production volumes. Demand remained strong across the utility-scale, C&I and rooftop segments during the year, while manufacturers continued to invest in cell, module, wafer and ingot facilities to strengthen domestic supply chains.

The wind segment also recorded a strong year, with manufacturers like Suzlon and Inox Wind reporting growth in revenues, profits, turbine deliveries and order books. The increase in deliveries indicates that wind project execution is gaining momentum after several years of relatively slow growth. Rising C&I orders reflect growing corporate demand for renewable energy procurement.

In the wake of ongoing uncertainty in West Asia, the focus on energy independence has become stronger, making the case for a strong domestic manufacturing supply chain. Manufacturers with stronger integration across the value chain and greater control over critical inputs will be better positioned going forward. While renewable manufacturers will look to tap this opportunity and plan domestic expansion, the growing risk of supply outpacing demand will remain their key concern.
