Shakti Pumps (India) Limited Chairman, Dinesh Patidar, said: 'We are pleased with a strong start to FY26, driven by robust execution in the solar pump segment, steady export growth, and strategic investments in capacity and technology.

We continue to lead the PM-KUSUM scheme with a 25% market share in major agricultural states. As of 1st August 2025, our order book stands at around Rs. 13,500 Mn, supported by steady inflows and active participation in tenders across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and others. Our decade-long presence in these markets positions us well to capture growing demand.

The rooftop solar segment is gaining momentum, aided by government initiatives like PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana. We are expanding our footprint in this and in domestic, industrial, and EV segments. Our export business, growing at ~25% CAGR over four years, is strong with projects in Haiti, Uganda, Bangladesh, Nepal, and rising demand from the USA, Middle East, and Africa.

Operationally, we improved receivable days from 178 in FY24 to 152 in FY25, targeting 120 days by FY26-end. Our Rs. 17,000 Mn capex plan includes doubling capacity for pumps, motors, VFDs, and solar structures (Rs. 2,500 Mn), establishing an EV motor and charger facility (Rs. 2,500 Mn), and setting up a 2.2 GW solar DCR cell and PV module plant in Pithampur (Rs 12,000 Mn).

We raised Rs. 2,926 Mn via QIP to partially fund the solar project, with the rest financed through internal accruals and debt.

Looking ahead, we aim for 25'30% revenue growth in FY26 and sustained growth over the next 3'4 years. Our focus on clean energy, operational discipline, and a strong order pipeline positions us well for long-term value creation.'
