We derived Rs.10,873.63 million, Rs.3,743.68 million and Rs.2,580.93 million, equivalent to 99.32%, 91.07% and 90.55% of our revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from the engineering, procurement and commissioning ("EPC") of solar-powered agricultural water pump systems. Any decrease in demand for the EPC of solar-powered agricultural water pump systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any failure to recover trade receivables could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We had net cash used in operating activities in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023. We expect to experience net cash used in operating activities in the future and we will continue to require working capital financing, which if unavailable could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and implement our growth plans.

Failure to obtain adequate financing or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our working capital requirements and other liquidity requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, increasing our borrowings increases our finance costs, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flows.

As we are currently a pure play EPC company, we may find it harder to compete with players that currently manufacture solar panels. Failure to compete effectively in the highly competitive solar-powered pump EPC industry could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our revenue from the EPC for solar-powered pump systems - direct-to-beneficiary sales under the PM-KUSUM Scheme was Rs.9,177.52 million, Rs.3,058.22 million and Rs.2,537.23 million, equivalent to 83.83%, 74.39% and 89.02% of our revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. If the PM-KUSUM Scheme is not extended beyond its current end date of March 31, 2026 or replaced by similar state government schemes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, a significant decrease in the number of farmers selecting us as their vendor under the PM-KUSUM Scheme or similar state government schemes, reductions in the amounts paid per solar-powered pump system installed under the PM-KUSUM Scheme or similar state government schemes, any unforeseen change in our eligibility to participate in the PM-KUSUM Scheme or similar state government schemes or any other adverse changes in the PM-KUSUM Scheme or similar state government schemes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We derived Rs.1,656.36 million, Rs.685.29 million and Rs.113.65 million, equivalent to 15.13%, 16.67% and 3.99% of our revenue from operations for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from our top customer in the respective years. The loss of our top customer for Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 or a material decrease in revenue from it without an equal or more increase in revenue from our other services could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We currently conduct our business in the states of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. Any sustained downturn in the economy of any of those states, Maharashtra in particular, could reduce demand for solar-powered pump systems and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers for components and materials for our business. A failure by a key supplier to perform could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any downgrade of our debt ratings could lead to an increase in our borrowing costs and/or constrain our access to borrowings.

Significant increases in the costs of key components could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any adverse publicity involving us, or any of our services, may impair our reputation, dilute the impact of our branding and marketing initiatives and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have experienced rapid growth in our business. Our revenue from operations grew by 166.32% in Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024, and increased at a compound annual growth rate of 95.99% between Fiscals 2023 and 2025. However, our rapid growth may not be sustainable and even if it is sustained, we may fail to manage our growth effectively.

Any adverse changes in the conditions affecting the agricultural sector could adversely affect demand for solar-powered pump systems and thereby adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Failure to maintain quality and performance guarantees under our contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our Order Book is not necessarily an indication of future revenues. Our estimated revenue from allocations granted to us by SNAs/SIAs under the PM-KUSUM Scheme and similar state government scheme(s) could be higher or lower than the estimated amount in our Order Book due to changes in farmers` preferences for the size of the pump. Modifications to the scope of work or reductions or partial or full cancellations of other EPC contracts in our Order Book could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If we fail to obtain product and performance warranties from suppliers for the required scope and period under our contracts, we could be required to compensate our customer for any defects in products, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any failure to maintain the intellectual property used by us could adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operation. We rely on a trademark license agreement for branding and marketing. If the said trademark license agreement is terminated, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.

Our Company is involved in certain tax proceedings, the outcome of which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We did not meet the required minimum expenditure on Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") activities for Fiscal 2024.

The success of our business depends substantially on our Promoters and other Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management Personnel. The loss of or our inability to attract or retain such persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In order to retain flexibility and control costs, we engage third-party installation and commissioning service providers for the performance of our EPC services. If we are unable to obtain the services of third-party installation and commissioning service providers at reasonable rates it will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We compete with certain of our suppliers of materials and/or services for customers and orders, which heightens the potential adverse impact that competitive measures undertaken by our suppliers may have on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Failure to provide bank guarantees and/or performance guarantees to satisfy payment obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We plan to backward integrate by manufacturing our own solar panels. We have not yet obtained binding quotations from vendors in relation to the various supplies and machines we need to establish this new manufacturing plant. If the cost to set up this new manufacturing plant exceeds the economic benefits of setting up this facility, it could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We plan to fund the cost of setting up this new manufacturing plant through internal accruals and loans from banks. We have yet to receive approvals for sufficient loans to help to fund the cost of establishing this new manufacturing plant and there can be no assurance that such funding will be available on commercially acceptable terms. We do not have experience in manufacturing solar panels and we could lose a significant portion of our investment in our solar panel manufacturing facility, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

One of our strategies is to diversify our sources of revenue by installing more rooftop solar systems. Failure to manage this expansion could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

One of our strategies is to replicate our success in Maharashtra in the high-potential states of Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Failure to manage this expansion effectively could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The growth of India`s solar rooftop sector may face continued challenges, such as ineffective state policies, poor consumer creditworthiness, enforcement issues, and difficulties in integrating rooftop energy into electrical grids, which could adversely affect our rooftop solar business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our financing agreements contain covenants that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

A substantial portion of our assets are hypothecated or mortgaged in favour of lenders as security for some of our fund-based and non-fund-based borrowings. Our lenders may enforce the security in the event of our failure to service our debt obligations, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Promoters have provided personal guarantees for certain loan facilities obtained by our Company. Any failure or default by our Company to repay such facilities in accordance with their terms could trigger repayment obligations which may adversely affect our Promoters and our business and operations.

We rent, lease or license all of our warehouses. If our leases or licenses are terminated or we are unable to renew our such arrangements on commercially acceptable terms, it could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Our revenue from operations is higher in the third and fourth quarters of each fiscal year than in the first two quarters. Any slowdown in demand for our services during the third and fourth quarters of a fiscal year could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for that fiscal year.

Any damages caused by fraud, theft or other misconduct by our employees could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our ability to pay dividends on the Equity Shares will depend on future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, capital expenditures and restrictive covenants in our financing arrangements.

We have entered into, and will continue to enter into, related party transactions. We cannot assure you that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties.

Our Promoters, certain of our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management may have interests other than reimbursement of expenses incurred and normal remuneration or benefits.

Our Promoters will continue to exercise significant influence over our Company after the completion of the Offer. There is no assurance that our Promoters will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our Company`s or our other Shareholders` favour.

Our Directors, Promoters and Group Companies may be involved in ventures that are in the same line of business that could lead to conflicts of interest with our business.

Our funding requirements and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised, and our management will have broad discretion over the use of the Net Proceeds.

These non-GAAP financial measures and statistical information could vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry we compete in, and therefore may not be comparable with non-GAAP financial measures or statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other companies.

The requirements of being a publicly listed company could strain our resources.

There have been certain instances of delays in payment of statutory dues by us in the past. Any delay in payment of statutory dues by us in future may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
