Q: Our EBITDA margin is continuously squeezing despite the IPP portion expansion. Is this part of the strategy, or is there an efficiency lapse? A: (CFO) The EBITDA margin has not significantly squeezed. There might be slight variations due to the nature of sales booking, but overall, the EBITDA margin has increased. The IPP portion will further enhance as new plants start generating revenue, especially in the second half of the year.
Q: The company's revenue is expanding, but shareholders' wealth isn't aligning with its growth. Can you explain the future trajectory? A: (CFO) The EPS has improved, and the share price is influenced by various market dynamics. We are a capital-intensive business, and while we use borrowed funds, we maintain a healthy debt-to-equity ratio. We are exploring different funding options to support growth without excessive equity dilution.
Q: How is the government directive to close non-viable renewable energy projects affecting KPI Green? A: (CFO) KPI Green's projects are not affected by this directive as we have secured viable rates for our projects. The industry might see changes, but KPI Green has closed all its IPP and CPP projects successfully.
Q: Is the grid infrastructure ready to support the solar energy expansion in India? A: (CFO) KPI Green has sufficient evacuation approvals for its projects. The government is enhancing the grid infrastructure to support renewable energy projects, and we do not foresee any impact on our operations.
Q: What is the update on the pledge percentage of promoter shares? A: (CFO) We have received a sanction from SBI, and the pledge will be released by March 2027 after the completion of our current projects. This is documented in our sanction letter from SBI.
