Waaree Renewable Technologies, an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) arm of Waaree Energies group, expects to complete around 1.3 gigawatt (GW) capacity projects in the remaining half of the current fiscal, chief financial officer Dilip Panjwani told FE.
The company, which reported a multifold jump of 160% on-year in its net profit for the second quarter to Rs 53.52 crore, expects a threefold jump in its operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts in the next financial year in addition to its existing robust pipeline of EPC contracts.
“One of the most important things in our EPC is O&M. Next year onwards, once our EPC contracts close out, we will have some O&M coming up in that space as well. So, O&M is also expected to increase 2-3 times from FY26 at the strength of our existing EPC contracts,” Panjwani said.

The company currently has an unexecuted order book of 1.7 GW, which it expects to complete in the next 9-12 months. The bidding pipeline remains robust at 17.8 GW. “For FY26, we continue to be guided by the government’s commitment in the renewable energy space,” he said.
Panjwani noted that while the company intends to remain focused on the solar energy business, it also has plans to diversify into battery energy storage projects, green hydrogen, and other hybrid RE projects. “Today, we are 100% solar-driven, but we have capabilities on the battery and hydrogen sides too.”
While the company remains centred on utility scale projects, it sees the share of commercial and industrial (C&I) space increasing going forward. “The segments that are coming up are rooftop floating solar, battery energy, storage systems, pump storage, hybrid and RTC (round the clock) projects on the solar side. All this in combination will drive our future growth,” he said.
