Sterling & Wilson Renewable: Order Book Surges 34%
SWSOLAR Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy (NSE : SWSOLAR) is a pure-play solar Engineering, Procurement and Construction company. Reliance New Energy acquired a 40% stake in 2022. It provides utility-scale solar EPC, battery storage, floating solar and O&M services. What happened: In Q2FY27, revenue fell 12.7% year on year to Rs 1,527 crore due to timing gaps. Four newly won international projects, including Egypt West Minya, awaited notice to proceed or financial closing. Four domestic PSU projects saw execution delays. EBITDA fell 40% to Rs 66 crore as margins contracted to 4.3%. The company still reported a net profit of Rs 17 crore against a loss of Rs 478 crore in Q2FY26, which carried one-time US arbitration provisions. Why it matters: The order book stood at Rs 12,481 crore as of September 30, 2026, up 34% year on year. H1FY27 order inflows reached Rs 3,626 crore, with nearly 90% from international markets. The O&M portfolio grew to 18.9 GWp from 13.5 GWp in March 2026. The bid pipeline is 34 GW, with Rs 45,000 to 50,000 crore of BESS and solar opportunities expected in H2FY27. Management guides up to 10% revenue growth for FY27, with Q4FY27 expected to be the heaviest quarter. What I am watching: Egypt West Minya and three other large international projects are awaiting notice to proceed or financial closing. How fast they clear will directly drive H2FY27 revenue. The Adani framework has delivered 1.2 GW; a request for quote on the next 1.2 GW tranche is now in hand. My stance: The turnaround from Q2FY26’s Rs 478 crore net loss is real. But 4.3% EBITDA margins and heavy project timing dependency make near-term earnings hard to predict. I do not hold a position in Sterling & Wilson Renewable at the time of writing. This is not investment advice.
