Key Findings from the Report

The report, prepared by India Ratings & Research Private Limited, acting as the Monitoring Agency, indicates that the utilization of the QIP proceeds has been in line with the objects disclosed. Specifically, there has been no deviation from the objects of the issue. The report is based on the management’s undertaking and other relevant documents provided by the company.

Utilization of Funds

The total amount raised through the QIPs was INR 2,000.00 Mn for the first QIP and INR 2,926.00 Mn for the second QIP. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the company utilized INR 1,086.49 Mn out of the total INR 2,000.00 Mn from the first QIP. The primary object of the first QIP was part-funding capacity expansion for manufacturing pumps and motors, inverters, and variable frequency drives, amounting to INR 1,500.00 Mn. Another portion, INR 470.00 Mn, was allocated for General Corporate Purposes. QIP-related issue expenses amounted to INR 30.00 Mn.

For the second QIP, the total utilized amount for the quarter was INR 2,106.37 Mn out of INR 2,926.00 Mn. The major allocation, INR 2,250.00 Mn, is for investment in its subsidiary, Shakti Energy Solutions Limited, for a greenfield 2.2 GW solar DCR cell and Solar PV Module Project.

Status of Project Implementation

The report notes that the expansion of inverters, variable frequency drives, and structures has been undertaken at the existing facility rather than a new one, due to delays in land acquisition.

The Board of Directors acknowledged the delay in land acquisition and confirmed that the expansion at the existing facility ensures timely augmentation of production capacity and meets market demand.

The company also confirmed that, as per management undertaking, all requisite approvals needed for the current stage of projects have been secured.
