Synopsis: In Q1 FY27, consolidated revenue grew 17.1% YoY to ₹405.69 crore while EBITDA more than doubled, up 103.7% YoY to ₹141.16 crore, taking margins to 34.8%. Alongside the numbers, the company announced a ₹950 crore capacity expansion and a new rooftop solar business, marking the company’s expansion beyond solar glass manufacturing into rooftop solar solutions.
India’s largest solar glass manufacturer leveraged its June-quarter results to present a compelling dual-growth narrative. The company highlighted its robust near-term profitability while also emphasizing its strategic vision for the future, aiming to evolve into a fully integrated player across the solar value chain. This approach reflects a commitment to both immediate financial success and sustainable long-term growth.
With a market capitalization of Rs. 8,374 crore, the shares of Borosil Renewables Limited were trading at Rs. 596 per share, with a 52-week range of Rs. 721 to Rs. 374, and they are trading at a P/E of approximately 21.
Q1 FY27 Performance
Consolidated revenue for the quarter came in at ₹405.69 crore, up 17.1% year-on-year, though down 7.8% sequentially from Q4 FY26. EBITDA more than doubled, rising 103.7% YoY to ₹141.16 crore, pushing the EBITDA margin up by roughly 1,480 basis points to 34.8%, the fourth consecutive quarter above the 33% mark. Profit before tax rose 229.6% YoY to ₹117.28 crore (before exceptional items and share of profit/loss in associates), while PAT stood at ₹86.64 crore.
Much of the improvement came from realizations rather than volumes. The company attributed most of the increase in sales value to higher realizations, with the average ex-factory selling price rising to ₹160.3/mm from ₹138.1/mm a year earlier. aided partly by a fuel surcharge introduced in March 2026 to offset higher energy costs after the West Asia conflict disrupted fuel markets.
A ₹950 Crore Bet to Stay Ahead in Solar Glass
Even as it reports strong margins, the company isn’t standing still on capacity. It is investing ₹950 crore to build two new 300 TPD furnaces, taking total installed capacity from 1,000 TPD (~6.5 GW) to 1,600 TPD, which will equal roughly 10.5 GW by December 2026. The expansion is backed by a favourable policy environment: anti-dumping duties on solar glass imports from China and Vietnam, along with extended countervailing duties on imports from Malaysia, have improved the case for domestic manufacturing. Even after planned capacity additions, domestic solar glass production is expected to remain below projected demand, leaving India dependent on imports.
Entering Rooftop Solar Changes the Business Model
The more significant shift this quarter was the entry into rooftop solar solutions. Rather than only supplying glass to module makers, the company will now sell its own branded solar panels above 600W capacity, inverters ranging from 3 kW to 150 kW, and lithium batteries, while also handling installation for residential and commercial customers.
The initial rollout is focused on Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, using a mix of distributor-led sales and direct project execution. It’s a low-risk entry, starting with co-branded products before moving toward a fully white-labelled offering, but it marks a real change in how the company plans to make money going forward.
Conclusion
Taken together, the quarter reflects a company using a strong profit cycle to fund its next phase of growth. The near-term numbers, sharp margin expansion, healthy realizations, and consistent EBITDA performance give it the financial room to invest in both capacity and diversification. Whether the rooftop solar bet pays off will depend on execution over the next few years, but the direction is clear: this is a company trying to move from being a glass supplier to becoming a broader renewable energy business.
