Raman Bhatia — Founder and Managing Director
Thank you. Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome. I am delighted to have you join us today as we discussed Renewable Power Systems Limited, which is formerly known as Power Systems Limited performance for Q3 FY ’25. In Indian economies, robust growth continues to fuel expansion in the power and infrastructure sector and is proud to be playing a key role in this progress. We remain committed to contributing to India’s sustainable developments. I am pleased to report a strong performance in this quarter. Our team’s dedication to innovation, sustainable growth strategies and effective execution of our order book has delivered excellent results, demonstrating the strength of strategic approach. Our Q3 FY ’25 total revenue reached at INR216 crore, a substantial increase of over 300% compared to the more than 300% compared to the same quarter last year. This growth has been significantly driven by the increasing demand for EV and robust charging infrastructure. Our EBITDA for the quarter reached more than INR17 crores, representing growth of over more than 400% and net profit also performed strongly, increasing by over 700% to reach INR9 crores. Looking at the nine months ending Q3 FY ’25, our total consolidated revenue reached INR529 crores, reflecting growth of over 142% compared to the same-period last year with-profit after tax growing by 198% to INR24.92 crores. I would like to highlight some key developments from the last quarter — past quarter. We have partnered with GMBH to develop solar-powered EV charging infrastructure in Germany. Our collaboration with Power will help us to meet the rising global demand for affordable EV charging solutions in the UK and North American markets. Domestically, we have secured orders of approximately INR61 crores only from the two departments of UPNeta and Uruda for solar order pump under the scheme and solar rooftop for schools and government offices in Uttar Pradesh and. We have significantly expanded our distribution network by adding approximately 40 new distributors this quarter for our recent launch range of solar products, which aligning with government initiatives such as PM, Ujna and PM. We are confident these products will play a significant role in advancing India’s clean-energy agenda and further expand our footprint in the renewable energy market. We are on-track to onboard approximately 24 distributors per month, targeting our network of over 300 distributors and 6,000 retailers. To address increasing captive consumption and supply-chain challenges, we are strategically entering solar PV manufacturing. This move will enhance our supply-chain reliance — silence and contribute to substantial future revenue growth. We are making significant investments in research and development to create innovative high-quality products that meet global standards. We are deeply committed to clean-energy and are investing heavily in EV charging infrastructure and other green energy solutions for a sustainable future. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our Q3 FY ’25 performance and remain optimistic about the future. Our focus on innovation, quality and sustainability will continue to drive our success. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated team and valued customer supporting shareholders and suppliers for their continued trust and partnership. I’m happy to take your questions.

Unidentified Participant
Hello, sir, do I repeat my question?
Raman Bhatia
Yeah.
Unidentified Participant
Yeah. First, as I said, the operating margins quarter-on-quarter have been falling. So is there a reason for that?
Raman Bhatia
Sir, I’m little bit say sorry. I’m not able to find out the quarter-on-quarter it is falling. According to me, quarter-to-quarter possible, there is — there should be — there could be some differences, 1%, 2%. Like following is Niharaj balance sheet for, may from. Other may is Bhara. Last nine months car or current financial again nine months are, so it was 19.77% and currently still it is 19.71%. If we are talking about quarter in-quarter, so it was around 20% and currently it was — it is around 19%. So there is a difference is around 1.5%, which can be varied quarter-to-quarter. It is not able to maintain the quarter-to-quarter okay, so quarter-to-quarter expenses of John is not a big deal. So is, yet difference is books of accountable management, the expenses, pre-book post-book okay revenues are you choking yet plus-minus.
Unidentified Participant
Okay our and regarding we are centering into solar PV manufacturing. So I would like to know — I have a couple of questions on this. Don’t you see the PV manufacturing for segment or the sector as a whole to be a bit overcrowded since almost a lot of players are entering into this or already a lot of all the many players are already there? Yeah. And that was my first question. Second question regarding this is what would be the capex for FY ’26, FY ’27 regarding — as we are entering into this new segment as well. So the total capex of the company planned capex.
Raman Bhatia
But the. It is a backward integration. Hamari captive consumption is in, supply-chain related issue. Timely or quality supply minimal, you. So we are just going to save our cost and smooth our supply-chain. That is the main concern. We are not planning to Ham basically by. Is Home profit go profit percentage can be better out of that is number-one. Number two, how many supply-chain, that means Johan system. Chinese penalty supply in, order book was impact to that is another of solar panel, of. Has overcrowded market may must. So target and what is our strategy? That is very important. So strategy very much correct no, it’s time to come the major AI. Any captive consumption co or supply-chain for is a backward integration. Hope you understand the difference.
Unidentified Participant
Yes.
Raman Bhatia
And Karen if you are talking about the investment, then total investment we are planning in next three years, it could be more than INR300 crore again. And it is consolidated. It is not only for our PV manufacturing, it is consolidated.
