Premier Energies

Premier Energies said it secured orders worth ₹3,011 crore in the April–June quarter for the supply of 1,846 MW of solar cells and modules. The contracts, won from a mix of power producers, module manufacturers, EPC companies and other clients, will be executed across FY27 and FY28. The order intake comes as the Hyderabad-based manufacturer ramps up capacity—module manufacturing has been expanded from 5.5 GW to 11.1 GW, while cell capacity is set to rise from 3.6 GW to 10.6 GW by September 2026. Managing Director Chiranjeev Saluja said the orders reflect the company's leadership in high-efficiency solar manufacturing and the policy tailwind from India's ALMM-2 domestic content mandate. The company highlighted that the strong inflow supports its high-growth strategy and its role in India's clean-energy and self-reliance goals.

Feb 20 (Reuters) - India's Premier Energies PEME.NS plans to focus on exports with buyers diversifying their supply chains away from China, two senior executives said on Thursday, a major shift for the domestically-focused solar equipment supplier.

Tariff woes and concerns regarding over-reliance on a single manufacturing hub have pushed Western companies to look to establish new supply chains, creating avenues for Indian manufacturers.

Premier Energies' order book is entirely domestic and fully booked for the next 12 to 18 months, but it expects to increasingly tap overseas markets as new capacity comes online, Managing Director Chiranjeev Singh Saluja told Reuters in an interview.

"In the longer term, we will be focusing on exports," Saluja said, noting plans for a U.S. solar cell plant with partner Heliene and emerging opportunities in Europe where certain tenders exclude Chinese products.

He added that Europe's evolving procurement rules reflect a broader global shift in which many countries "don't want to import from China or want to diversify their supply sources."

Premier Energies is also working to cut its dependence on silver, a critical component in solar cells but whose cost has recently been volatile.

"Silver use has already fallen about 68% over the past five years and is expected to drop a further 30% over the next five," said Vinay Rustagi, chief business officer.

He attributed the fall to redesigns in cell technology, adding that rising costs that make it more expensive for customers are accelerating efforts to curb its use.

The company is backing research to replace silver entirely with copper, he said, working with universities and suppliers across Europe and Asia, with initial results expected within 12 to 18 months.

"We are talking about a complete replacement of silver with copper paste," Rustagi said, adding that only minor equipment changes would be needed if the technology proves viable.

SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Aug 28 (Reuters) - High U.S. tariffs and potential anti-dumping duties on Indian solar panel exports will exacerbate a supply glut in India next year as domestic project bidding slows, according to industry officials and analysts.

U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on shipments from India will choke panel sales to its top overseas market, which accounts for 90% of module exports, they said.

The situation could deteriorate further if anti-dumping duties are imposed on some manufacturers following a petition filed on July 17 by U.S. solar companies with the Commerce Department seeking duties on imports from India, Indonesia, and Laos.

"The 50% tariff will squeeze margins, and potential anti-dumping duties will make competing in the U.S. even tougher," said Raj Prabhu, CEO of clean energy consultancy Mercom Capital.

India's awards of solar generation projects and new tenders slowed dramatically in the quarter ended June, with an adviser to the federal power ministry urging renewable developers to bid cautiously in line with demand growth projections.

"We expect that India will enter overcapacity stage already in 2026, which will feel even worse with the loss of the U.S. market," said Wood Mackenzie analyst Yana Hryshko.

New Delhi's incentives — including import duties and domestic manufacturing mandates — helped double module production capacity annually to 74 gigawatts by March. State Bank of India Capital Markets projects this will reach 190 GW by 2027.

India's solar module factories are already running at only 25% of total capacity on average, said Vinay Rustagi, chief business officer of manufacturer Premier Energies PEME.NS.

"Some companies are running at 80%-85% like us, others are running at much lower capacity," he said.

CHINA CELL IMPORTS

If anti-dumping duties are imposed, Indian manufacturers must either find alternative markets or supply domestically, Hryshko noted.

Finding new markets will be challenging. Indian solar modules made using Chinese cells are 48% more expensive than China-made modules, while those using Indian cells are roughly 143% more expensive, Mercom data shows.

India has capitalised on an 82% decline in prices of Chinese cells since late 2022 and steadily boosted exports of modules, energy think-tank Ember said.

The local solar module manufacturing push has helped companies such as Waaree WAAN.NS and Adani ADEL.NS increase lucrative U.S. exports. But it has also pushed up solar generation costs, which are passed on to debt-laden power retailers.

India plans to mandate domestic cell use from June 2026, despite these costing over three times more than Chinese alternatives, according to Fei Chen, an analyst at consultancy Rystad Energy.

Analysts say the move may trigger increased Chinese imports before the rules take effect.

"Reliance on cell imports is likely to increase in the short term, potentially leading to stockpiling, price spikes, and supply chain pressures," Mercom's Prabhu said.

Updates throughout with valuation, analyst comments, industry and company background

By Nandan Mandayam

Nov 13 (Reuters) - NTPC Green Energy set a price band on Wednesday for its initial public offering (IPO), targeting a valuation of as much as $10.8 billion in what is set to be India's third-largest IPO this year, though analysts raised concerns on the "aggressive" pricing.

The company set a price band of 102-108 rupees per share, aiming to raise 100 billion rupees ($1.19 billion) in the IPO, which trails only Hyundai Motor India HYUN.NS and Swiggy SWIG.NS in size this year.

At the upper end of the range, NTPC Green, a unit of state-owned power company NTPC NTPC.NS, will be valued at 910 billion rupees ($10.78 billion), per Reuters calculations.

The IPO comes as India bets big on renewable power and is ramping up capacity. However, its red-hot IPO market has cooled in the past month due to underwhelming corporate earnings and an exodus of foreign funds.

NTPC Green, which mostly produces solar power and has a few wind energy projects, follows solar panel makers Waaree Energies WAAN.NS, Premier Energies PEME.NS and ACME Solar ACMO.NS to the stock market this year.

Some analysts flagged concerns over NTPC Green's valuation, including on a price-to-earnings (PE) basis.

"The issue appears to be steeply priced for a company that trails its peers on various valuation metrics," said Arun Kejriwal, founder of brokerage Kejriwal Research.

NTPC Green's PE ratio of 148, based on last fiscal year's earnings, is higher than its smaller peers but lags bigger rival Adani Green Energy ADNA.NS (260).

Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at Wealthmills Securities, said the valuation was "aggressive" but the profit growth was attractive.

NTPC Green's profit nearly doubled to 3.45 billion rupees last financial year, per its draft filing.

It will sell all the shares in the IPO -- which will be open for bids from Nov. 19-22 -- and plans to use the proceeds to repay its unit NTPC Renewable Energy's debt.
