All our business segments have performed remarkably well during the quarter leading to 20th consecutive quarterly PAT growth.
Aligned with the ‘Make in India’ vision, our 4.3 GW cell-and-module plant in Tamil Nadu is going strength-to-strength with the commissioning of a 2 GW cell production line during the quarter. The cell plant will achieve its full capacity by next month. The 4.3 GW module plant is already fully operational establishing us as a leader in solar manufacturing.
We have made significant strides in the transmission business with major wins in both Inter-State and Intra-State projects, showcasing our strong project execution capabilities in upgrading grid infra. These projects will help evacuate clean energy from remote renewable sites, to support widescale renewable energy availability.
We are mainstreaming the wide-scale adoption of solar rooftops in residential, commercial and industrial segments through our pan-India presence. We are also powering e-mobility in 590 cities, covering private, public, semi-public, and fleet charging.
We are well on track in terms of our planned Capex for the financial year, with ₹ 9,100 Crore spent during H1 out of ₹ 20,000 Crore. Our investments in transmission, renewables, and hydro projects are designed to strengthen India’s energy resilience and security.”
