Oswal Pumps to set up 1.2 GW solar cell plant, revises IPO fund utilization
Oswal Pumps' subsidiary will establish a 1.2 GW solar cell plant in Karnal, Haryana. The company revised its IPO fund utilization, allocating INR 1,598.50 million (approx. ₹159.8 crore) towards this new solar cell plant. The total project cost is estimated at ₹4,558.50 million (approx. ₹455.8 crore).
The decision to set up a new solar cell plant and reallocate IPO funds signifies a strategic shift and expansion. While positive, the full impact will depend on execution and market conditions, making it a medium-term impact.
The company is diversifying into a new, strategic business line (solar cell manufacturing) which is expected to enhance its value chain, cost structure, and competitive positioning. This forward-looking investment indicates growth potential.
Oswal Pumps Limited announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oswal Solar Energy Private Limited, will establish a greenfield 1.2 GW solar cell plant in Karnal, Haryana. This decision was approved by the Board of Directors of Oswal Solar Energy Private Limited in a meeting held on October 10, 2026.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors of Oswal Pumps Limited, in their meeting on the same date, approved a variation in the objects and terms of utilization of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) proceeds. This includes a modification of the time limit for utilizing these funds. The company had originally proposed to utilize INR 8,415.14 million (approximately ₹841.5 crore) from its IPO for various purposes, including capital expenditure, investment in Oswal Solar for manufacturing units, and repayment of borrowings. A significant portion, INR 2,727.58 million (approximately ₹272.7 crore), was earmarked for Oswal Solar to set up new manufacturing units at Karnal, Haryana.
As part of the variation, INR 1,598.50 million (approximately ₹159.8 crore) from the unutilized IPO proceeds will now be directed towards the solar cell manufacturing plant by Oswal Solar. This move aims to secure a critical component for their module business, enhance value addition, and strengthen the group's cost structure and competitive positioning. The company anticipates this will be more value-accretive than continuing with the original plans for an Aluminium Frame Facility, surplus module capacity, or EVA encapsulant capacity. The total project cost for the solar cell plant is estimated at ₹4,558.50 million (approximately ₹455.8 crore). The deployment of net proceeds towards this solar cell manufacturing facility is proposed by Financial Year 2028. The Board meeting commenced at 16:45 hours and concluded at 17:30 hours on October 10, 2026.
