Solarworld Energy Solutions Limited (SESL) has announced a revision in its credit ratings by Crisil Ratings Limited. The credit rating agency upgraded the ratings on the company's bank facilities to
CRISIL A-/Stable
for long-term facilities and
CRISIL A2+
for short-term facilities. This marks an upgrade from the previous ratings of
CRISIL BBB+/Stable
and
CRISIL A2
, respectively. The total bank loan facilities rated have also been enhanced from ₹250 crore to ₹420 crore.
The upgrade reflects an improvement in SESL's business risk profile, supported by a healthy order book and strong operating efficiency. Crisil Ratings projects revenue to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 85-87% through fiscal 2026, with an estimated revenue of around ₹1,400 crore for the full fiscal 2026, compared to ₹545 crore in fiscal 2025. The company achieved ₹784 crore in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, a significant increase from ₹368 crore in the corresponding period of fiscal 2025. With an order book of approximately ₹2,662 crore as of December 31, 2025, the company has strong revenue visibility for the medium term.
Financially, the group's profile is strengthened by raising ₹490 crore through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in September 2025. Net worth is expected to rise to ₹850-860 crore by March 31, 2026, from ₹309 crore a year earlier. Gearing is anticipated to remain below 0.4 times as of March 31, 2026, with adequate debt protection metrics and an expected interest coverage ratio over 10 times in the near term.
The company is undertaking significant capital expenditure, including a 5-gigawatt (GW) junction box manufacturing line, a 3.4-GW battery energy storage system (BESS) container line expected to commence operations in March 2026, and a 1.2-GW solar cell line planned for June 2027. A 1.55 GW solar module line commenced operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Crisil Ratings highlighted the established track record of the promoters, a favorable demand outlook for the solar industry, and a strong financial risk profile as key rating drivers. However, weaknesses include susceptibility to tender-based operations, large working capital requirements, and exposure to project risks.
