Capacity Expansion and Utilisation

The company’s performance was largely supported by the ramp-up of its second cell line. Capacity utilisation in the cell segment remained above 90%, showing that the company is using its assets efficiently. Module line utilisation stood at 74%, leaving some room for further improvement.

Websol has also started upgrading one of its Mono PERC cell lines to Topcon technology, which will increase total cell capacity to 1.35 GW after commissioning. This step is part of a larger plan to move toward a 2 GW integrated cell and module facility, showing a clear focus on scaling operations.

Operational Discipline

Apart from capacity expansion, better execution played a key role. The company focused on working capital management, cost control, and consistent operations, which helped improve cash flows and profitability. The growth in EBITDA and profits reflects not just higher sales but also improved efficiency in running the business.

Order Book and Demand Visibility

Websol reported a strong order book of Rs. 1,161 crore as of March 31, 2026. This provides clear visibility for future revenue and ensures that the current capacity will remain well utilised. A strong order pipeline reduces uncertainty and supports planning for further expansion. 

Balance Sheet Position

The company’s financial position has improved significantly. As of March 31, 2026, total debt stood at Rs. 118 crore, while cash and cash equivalents were Rs. 152 crore, resulting in a net cash surplus of Rs. 34 crore. This shift to a net cash position gives the company more flexibility to invest in growth without relying heavily on borrowing.

Technology Upgrade and Future Plans

The move from Mono PERC to Topcon technology reflects the company’s effort to stay aligned with industry changes. Higher efficiency products are likely to see stronger demand going forward. In addition, the company is focusing on backward integration, which can help in controlling costs and improving margins over time.

Outlook

The solar sector in India continues to see strong support from government policies like PLI and ALMM, along with rising demand for domestic manufacturing. With improved capacity, strong utilisation, and a clear expansion plan, Websol is well placed to benefit from these trends. However, margins may remain slightly under pressure in the near term as the company continues to invest in scaling and upgrading its operations.
