Solar Manufacturing: A Rising Contributor

The company expects Adjusted EBITDA between ₹87–₹93 billion (US$980 million–US$1.05 billion) and Cash Flow to Equity (CFe) between ₹14–₹17 billion (US$158–US$191 million), depending on weather and resource conditions.

The company also anticipates ₹1–2 billion in net gains from asset sales under its capital recycling strategy and expects solar manufacturing to contribute ₹10–₹12 billion to its Adjusted EBITDA for FY26.

Sustaining Leadership in India’s Energy Transition

ReNew’s latest results highlight its growing influence in India’s renewable energy landscape. With a diversified portfolio spanning solar, wind, storage, and manufacturing, the company continues to play a pivotal role in helping India achieve its 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030.

As the country’s largest renewable IPP by capacity, ReNew’s integrated model — combining power generation with module and cell production — positions it advantageously amid rising demand for domestic clean energy solutions and global decarbonization efforts.
