other statistical information relating to our financial performance as we consider such information to be useful
measures of our business and financial performance. Further, these Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and
other information relating to operations and financial performance are not a measurement of our financial
performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in
isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ period or any other measure of
financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows
generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS

these Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Further, these non-GAAP financial
measures and other statistical and other information relating to operations and financial performance may not be
computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore, may not
be comparable to financial measures of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Red Herring Prospectus contains certain statements which are not statements of historical fact and may be
described as “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include statements which can
generally be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “are likely”, “believe”, “continue”, “can”,
“could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “may”, “likely”, “objective”, “plan”, “propose”, “will continue”, “seek
to”, “will achieve”, “will likely”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly, statements
that describe the strategies, objectives, plans or goals of our Company and statements regarding our expected
financial conditions, results of operations, business plans and prospects are also forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include statements as to our business strategy, plans, revenue and profitability
(including, without limitation, any financial or operating projections or forecasts) and other matters discussed in
this Red Herring Prospectus that are not historical facts. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying
forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. This may be due to risks or uncertainties associated
with our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries we cater
to and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategies, our growth and
expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India
and globally, which have an impact on our business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of
India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other
rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws,
regulations and taxes, changes in competition in our industry and incidence of any natural calamities and/or acts
of violence.

Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are
not limited to, the following:

• Loss of a key customer or loss of revenue from sales to any key customer;

• Delay in delivery of modules resulting in liquidated damages and other related claims;

• Risks and uncertainties of various international markets due to our export sales;

• Ability to grow our retail sales particularly, commercial and industrial, and residential business verticals;

• Imposition of import duties or other restrictions impacting raw material supply from China;

• Failure to expand into new markets or regions;

• Failure to properly implement our manufacturing operations; and

• Exposure to risks related to execution of projects, the time and costs required to complete projects.

For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” on pages 32,
226 and 454, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be
materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could be
materially different from those that have been estimated. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views as
of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are
based on our management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information.
Although we believe that the assumptions on which such statements are based are reasonable, any such
assumptions as well as statements based on them could prove to be inaccurate.

We cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be
correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.

19
Neither our Company, our Directors, the Selling Shareholders, the BRLMs nor the Syndicate or any of their
respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances
arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions
do not come to fruition. In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our Company will ensure that Bidders
in India are informed of material developments pertaining to our Company from the date of this Red Herring
Prospectus in relation to the statements and undertakings made by our Company and each of the Selling

Equity Shares, the industry in which we operate or to India and other jurisdictions we operate in. Additional risks
and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem material may also adversely affect
our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks

Internal Risk Factors

1. Our business is dependent on certain key customers and the loss of any of these customers or loss of
revenue from sales to any key customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We generate a significant portion of our revenue from, and are therefore dependent on, certain key customers
for a substantial portion of our business. The table below sets forth our revenue from our top 10 customers,
top five customers and our largest customer, as a percentage of our revenue from operations for the
year/period indicated:

Note: We do not have consent from any of our customers for inclusion of their names in this Red Herring Prospectus.

Top 10 customers 25,332.39 76.11% 19,910.68 58.41%
Note: We do not have consent from any of our customers for inclusion of their names in this Red Herring Prospectus.

Under the terms of our agreements with certain of our key customers, our customers have the option to
terminate such contract with cause or without cause at relatively short notice with a payment of termination
fees. If we fail to meet our contractual obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our customers may be entitled
to liquidated damages, may terminate the contract with no further liability or obligation to us, or invoke
corporate guarantee provided by us. Certain contracts may also be terminated in case of a change in control
or sale of assets occurs without written consent of our customers. In the event such risks eventuate, our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
As of March 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the total numbers of
customers served by us in India were 716, 566, 836, 373 and 1,067. We have witnessed a decline in the
number of our customers between Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2023 on account of increase in the ticket size of
customer orders and on account of focusing on larger projects wherein the order value is high.

While we continue to invest and focus on the Indian market, we have also focused on increasing our export
sales which resulted in an increase in Export Sales from ₹ 6,578.22 million representing 23.05% of our
revenue from operations in Fiscal 2022 to ₹ 46,165.39 million representing 68.38% of our revenue from
operations in Fiscal 2023, which further increased to ₹ 65,690.96 million representing 57.64% of our revenue
from operations in Fiscal 2024 and was ₹ 24,412.07 million and ₹ 13,400.94 million, respectively, for the
three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, representing 73.35% and 39.31%, respectively, of our
revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. Module exports
experienced a significant uptick in Fiscal 2024 reaching a record high of 6,077 MW, up 87% year-on-year
due to higher prices in the international market – export price of domestic modules ranged from USD 0.29-
0.37 per Wp, a significant premium over domestic prices. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 173) Further, on
February 4, 2022, the Biden administration extended the Section 201 tariffs imposed on the import of solar
modules from China for four years. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 173) On account of such policy measures,
we witnessed a substantial increase in our Export Sales. If we are unable to maintain our Export Sales to our
customers outside India, our revenue from operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely
impacted.

Further, certain of our agreements also stipulate the right to issue minimum order quantity, payment at
reduced rates if goods/ products supplied are not according to specifications, the right to procure the materials
from any other source if such materials are not of acceptable quality and the cost and difference in cost to be
borne by us, and the right to inspect the facilities where the products are manufactured or test the sample
products (including independent laboratory tests) and the failure to accommodate and clear such inspections
and tests may result in additional costs to be borne by us. In addition, there are also most favoured customer
clauses in certain agreements in the United States where deliveries are yet to be commenced, whereby if any
other customer situated in the United States obtains aggregate beneficial pricing with respect to the same
products under similar circumstances sold to the certain customer with most favoured customer clause then
in such instances we have to provide products to that customer at such favourable terms. This may impact
our pricing and our revenue from operations.

Since we are dependent on some of our key customers for a substantial portion of our business, the loss of

33
any one of such key customers or a substantial reduction in demand from such key customers could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, as we
generally have short to medium term arrangements for supply of our products to customers and our
franchisees, there can be no assurance that our significant customers in the past will continue to place similar
orders with us in the future. If we are unable to manage our relationship with our international customers, our
financial results could be adversely affected, which may impact profit margins or make it increasingly
difficult for us to conduct business in foreign markets. We intend to continue to expand our customer base
within international markets we currently export our products to, as well as in additional international
markets.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain historic levels of business from our significant
customers, or that we will be able to significantly reduce customer concentration in the future, all of which
could have an impact on our business prospects and financial performance.

2. Our customer agreements include terms relating to liquidated damages and we have paid liquidated
damages and other related claims in Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 and the three months ended June 30,
2023 and June 30, 2024. In the event we are unable to reduce such liquidated damages and other related
claims our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely impacted.

Certain of our key customer agreements include terms relating to liquidated damages and/ or idling charges
per module per month, for any delay in delivery of modules, typically capped at a specified amount. In the
event that we notify such customer of a delay in manufacturing of a shipment beyond a certain period of the
guaranteed delivery date, such customer is entitled to cancel such shipment without liability to pay for such
shipment. In the event of suspension or termination of the agreement between our customer and its end
customers, our customer may also require us to cease production for delivery under such agreement. These
agreements also involve:

• advance bank guarantees, typically 10% of the contract price, valid for a specified period; and
• a contract performance corporate guarantee, typically ranging between 5% to 20% of the basic order
value, is also required to be furnished which is typically required to be valid for a period of up to six
months subsequent to date of receipt of the last consignment.

In the event of breach of warranties, we are required to indemnify and reimburse the direct loss and damage
to the customer. Such agreements can also be typically terminated in event of any default on our part with
respect to the terms of such agreement. Certain of our agreements stipulate that we may not terminate such
agreement without the express consent of such customer. In addition, in case of an inability on our part to
obtain appropriate regulatory approvals including ALMM approvals within a specified period, the customer
is entitled to terminate such agreement or reduce the contracted capacity under such agreement. The table
below sets forth certain details in relation to variable consideration for liquidated damages and other related
claims netted off against revenue for the year/period indicated:

These liquidated damages and other related claims were primarily levied on us on account of delays in
completing the delivery of our solar PV modules to our customers on time and other related claims in relation
to the solar PV modules sold. As a result of a significant increase in our sale of solar power products in Fiscal
2023 and Fiscal 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, there has been an increase in
provisions towards variable consideration for liquidated damages and other related claims for Fiscal 2023
Fiscal 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, paid to customers on account of delay
in the deliveries and other discrepancies such as difference in module specifications as per contractual terms
during such year/period. We cannot assure you that going forward, we will be able to reduce such liquidated
damages and other related claims or that these liquidated damages and other related claims will not increase,
which may have an adverse impact on our business, revenue from operations and cash flows.

3. Our export sales make our operations subject to risks and uncertainties of various international markets,
in particular the United States. Further, our revenue from operations is significantly dependent on export
sales and there is no assurance that we may be able to continue our export sales going forward.

We export our products to various international markets. Our largest export jurisdiction for Fiscal 2022, 2023
and 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 was the United States of America.

Further, the international markets in which we sell our products are diverse, with varying levels of economic
and infrastructure development, adoption of renewable energy sources, distinct legal and regulatory systems,
and do not operate seamlessly across borders as a single or common market. We may therefore be subject to
risks inherent in doing business in markets outside India, including risks related to:

• respective legal and regulatory environment; complex local tax regimes;


• payments by international customers; security issues;
• unexpected changes in regulatory environment and enforcement;
• challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences;
• ensuring timely supply of products and provision of related support to customers in such markets;
• costs associated with doing business in multiple markets;
• fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
• difficulties in implementing hedging measures;
• political, social or economic instability;
• difficulties in managing exports to multiple international locations and their market conditions;
• changes in solar industry practices or trends; and
• exposure to local banking, currency control and other financial related risks.

As part of our exports into the United States, we are also subject to various requirements including adherence
to the provisions of the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act pursuant to which exporters are required to
furnish evidence that the goods they export were produced without the use of forced labour failing which
such goods may be prevented from entering into the United States. We cannot assure that goods shipped by
us to the United States will not be subject to similar scrutiny.

We may have limited or no experience in marketing and managing exports of our products to new
international markets, which may require considerable management attention and resources for managing our
growing business in such markets. Any failure to maintain our existing sales or expansion in international
markets will have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

4. We intend to utilise a major portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital expenditure requirements.
This includes part financing the cost of establishing the proposed fully integrated 6 GW facility by way of
an investment in our wholly owned subsidiary Sangam Solar One Private Limited which may be subject to
the risk of unanticipated delays in implementation, cost overruns and other risks and uncertainties.

We have extensive experience in the manufacturing of solar PV modules with four out of five of our current
operational manufacturing facilities located in the state of Gujarat. In Fiscal 2023, our Company has
commissioned a 3 GW solar module facility in the Chikhli, Gujarat, India. For further details of past capital
expenditure undertaken by our Company towards establishment of solar module facilities, see “Our Business
- Comparative cost of solar module facilities executed in the past” on page 236. However, we have no
experience in manufacturing solar cells and we intend to expand into manufacturing of ingot-wafers, solar
cells and modules by setting up a 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility
at Odisha (“Project”).

The total estimated cost of setting up the Project is ₹ 90,499.59 million for which we propose to deploy a sum
of ₹ 27,750.00 million from the Net Proceeds, by way of an investment in our wholly owned subsidiary
Sangam Solar One Private Limited, through equity or debt instruments or a combination of both as may be
mutually decided between our Company and the Project Company, in accordance with applicable law, to part
finance the cost of establishing a fully integrated 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules
manufacturing facility. Our Company will remain interested in the Project Company to the extent of our
shareholding, or as a lender if funds are deployed in the form of debt.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the construction of the Project within the expected
estimated cost and on time which may result into cost escalations and time overruns. Further, our shift towards
backward integrations in our manufacturing processes for solar modules, encompassing the in-house
manufacture of ingot-wafers, and solar cells may involve inherent risks as this involves transition from our
existing sourcing of these materials from external suppliers. These risks include potential challenges in the
synchronization of the manufacturing processes, uncertainties related to the efficiency and reliability of the
in-house production, and market fluctuations impacting the demand for the integrated solar modules.
Furthermore, we may encounter operational complexities and potential disruptions in the supply chain,
leading to production delays or cost overruns.

In relation to the Project, we have been allotted land on a long-term leasehold basis by the Odisha Industrial
Infrastructure Development Corporation (“IDCO”). We have made full payments for such land and have
entered into a lease agreement dated June 24, 2024 with IDCO (“Lease Agreement”). For details, see
“Objects of the Offer” on page 138. The Lease Agreement, inter alia, requires commencement of construction
within a period of six months and commercial production within a period of five years, from the date of
possession. In the event we are unable to comply with any or all of such terms and conditions of the Lease
Agreement, we may be subjected to certain penalties by IDCO. Pursuant to the terms of Lease Agreement,
upon certification of an authorised officer of IDCO on completion of the factory building and commencement
of commercial production within a period of five years from the date of possession, our Company and IDCO
will execute the relevant documentation for the lease of the land and factory building for the balance lease
period aggregating to 76 years. Further, our Company has made an application to IDCO dated September 23,
2024 seeking IDCO’s consent to sublease the said land to the Project Company. Upon receipt of the consent
our Company shall execute a sublease arrangement with the Project Company.

Further, the Project includes undertaking civil works and acquiring plant and machinery. While we are yet to
place any orders for undertaking such civil work and supply of plant and machinery in relation to the Project,
we have issued certain purchase orders for engineering design and management consultancy services for
which, as on August 31, 2024, our Company has deployed an amount aggregating to ₹1,385.80 million from
its internal accruals and the Project Company has deployed an amount aggregating to ₹80.90 million from an
inter-corporate deposit received from our Company. We have estimated the requirement of the civil work,
plant and machinery and other ancillary expenses for the Project based on quotations received from third
party vendors and as certified by Oriens Advisors LLP, an independent advisory firm of engineers, pursuant
to their report dated October 7, 2024. We cannot assure you that we would be able to acquire the plant and
machinery required for the proposed Project at the prices as quoted/ estimated to us by the vendors. Any delay
in acquisition of the plant and/ or machinery required for the proposed Project could lead to time and cost
overruns and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The completion of the proposed 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility
is also dependent on the performance of external agencies which are responsible for inter alia undertaking

37
civil work, installation and commissioning of machinery and supply and testing of equipment. If the
performance of these agencies is inadequate, it may result in incremental cost and time overruns which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
complete the proposed Project or start the commercial production in accordance with the proposed schedule
of implementation and any delay could have an adverse impact on our growth, prospects, cash flows and
financial condition.

The proposed 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility will also require
us to obtain various approvals including environmental clearance, consent to establish and consent to operate,
license to work a factory and fire NoC. For further details including the status of such approvals, see “Objects
of the Offer – Government Approvals” on page 144. Further, in the event of any unanticipated delay in receipt
of such approvals, the proposed schedule of implementation and deployment of the Net Proceeds may be
extended or may vary accordingly. Expanding our current operations can be risky and expensive, and we
cannot assure you that we may be successful in meeting the desired cost-efficiencies and any consequent
growth in our business. Our inability to procure such approvals or machinery and equipment at acceptable
prices or in a timely manner, may result in an increase in capital expenditure and/ or in the extension of the
proposed schedule implementation and deployment of Net Proceeds.

5. The proposed Project is dependent on various government subsidies. In the event such subsidies do not
materialize or the state or central government does not approve the entire subsidy amount, we may have to
raise additional working capital, which may materially impact our cash flows, financial condition and
results of operations.

For the Project, we have been awarded with an outlay of ₹ 19,232.40 million under the Scheme Guidelines
for Implementation of the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (Tranche II) under National Programme on
High Efficiency Solar PV Modules (“PLI Scheme”) awarded by the GoI to enhance our backward integration
capabilities. The award under the PLI Scheme is subject to certain terms and conditions such as completion
of the facility in a timely manner with the scheduled commissioning date for commissioning of full
manufacturing facility by April 18, 2025. However, the Project is expected to be completed by Fiscal 2027.
While we have applied for an extension in the scheduled commissioning by an additional 24 months with
Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited, however, we cannot assure you that any extension or full
extension will be given by the relevant authority. In the event there is a delay in the commissioning of the
facility, it may attract a reduction of the PLI period from the maximum timelines. Further, in case we fail to
meet the target capacity or minimum module performance, we may not receive the incentive under the PLI
Scheme till the time we overcome the deficiency.

Further, we are also eligible for various incentives provided by the Odisha government such as capital
investment subsidy, stamp duty exemption, employment subsidy, power tariff reimbursement, electric duty
exemption, state GST exemption, and land subsidy. However, the amount of incentives under the schemes
are tentative and are subject to actual investment amounts, energy requirements, quantum and nature of
employment.

Our reliance on government subsidies for the development introduces a dependency on external factors, and
any adverse changes in subsidy availability or approval may impact the anticipated financial outcomes of the
project.

6. Our ability to grow our Retail Sales particularly, commercial and industrial, and residential business
verticals, depends on the success of our relationship with our franchisees and an inability to maintain or
further expand our retail network, could negatively affect our business, cash flows and results of
operations.

Our ability to grow our Retail Sales, particularly the commercial and industrial, and residential business
verticals depends on our relationship with our franchisees, and our ability to further grow our retail network.

Franchisees

Further, our arrangements with franchisees are typically for a period of three years and renewed periodically,
during which period they exclusively deal with our products, and are not permitted, directly or indirectly, to
sell any other product similar to the products and/ or services within the designated territory. Our franchisees
operate as end-to-end product and service providers for the rooftop and MSME business verticals, deal only
with products authorised by us, and are authorised to sell our products under our brand name, to increase the
visibility and reach of our products through direct customer interaction and local / regional distribution
capabilities of such franchisees. For more information, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations –
Distribution, Sales and Customers – Retail Sales (comprising franchisee sales)” on page 255.

There can be no assurance that our franchisees will renew their agreements with us on current or similar
terms, or at all. While we negotiate product prices and payment terms with our franchisees, and we receive
advance payment for purchase orders from franchisees, in the event our franchisees alter their requirements,
it could have a material adverse effect on our franchisee sales. Termination of any of the above mentioned
arrangements or frequent cancellation of purchase orders could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Further, in the event our franchisees experience any delays in placing orders with us, do not effectively market
our products, or if they terminate the franchisee agreements or otherwise discontinue working with us, it
could have an adverse effect on our strategy to grow this business vertical which can affect our Retail Sales
that can have a material impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

7. We, through our Subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas Inc., are in the process of expanding our
manufacturing operations in the United States. The proposed facility is to be funded through our internal
accruals as well financing agreements with lenders, which are yet to be finalized. Any failure to properly
implement our manufacturing operations may have an adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, and cash flows.

Our Subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas Inc. is in the process of expanding our manufacturing operations by
establishing a new up to 3 GW manufacturing facility in the United States. Our Board of Directors pursuant
to the resolution passed at their meeting held on December 22, 2023 approved such expansion in the United
States. Given that our manufacturing operations are currently based in India, venturing into the United States

39
provides different set of challenges such as regulatory approvals, supply chain disruptions, and other
unforeseen circumstances which may result into cost escalation from regulatory compliance, construction
challenges, or market fluctuations. We estimate that the cost of such proposed capacity expansion in the
United States would be approximately USD 70 million. Further, the proposed facility is to be funded through
our internal accruals as well financing agreements with lenders, which are yet to be finalized. As of June 30,
2024, we incurred ₹ 412.88 million towards setting up our facility in the United States from internal accruals.
The facility is expected to be operational by the end of Fiscal 2025. We have entered into a five year binding
agreement with a customer (whose consent we do not have for inclusion of its name in this Red Herring
Prospectus) for the supply of 3.75 GW of solar modules for a period of five years from the commissioning of
the facility, currently estimated during Fiscal 2025. Under our agreement, in the event we enter into a contract
with another customer at a favourable price, then in such event, the price at which we provide our products
to the existing customers have to be at the same price.

While we intend to use raw materials from South-East Asian countries as well as in-house, we cannot assure
you that no additional tariffs will be placed on such arrangement. For example, in December 2022, the US
Department of Commerce determined that some solar cell manufacturers in South-East Asian countries using
input materials from China are evading US anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties related to solar battery
products originating from China. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 74) As a result, anti-circumvention duty as
high as 254% could be imposed on solar cells imported from the South-East Asian countries. (Source: CRISIL
Report, page 74) Any such duties may adversely impact our business and cash flows and attract regulatory
scrutiny in the United States.

Further, while the estimated cost of the proposed manufacturing facility includes plan for further expanding
the installed capacity to 5 GW of solar module manufacturing and we also intend to add 5 GW of solar cell
manufacturing in the United States in future, however, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in
adding additional capacity which may impact our business and results of operations.

In addition, while the United States Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits and financial incentives to
manufacturers, we cannot assure you that such benefits will continue and not be withdrawn once we
commence production at the US facility.

8. We import a portion of our raw material supply from China. Restrictions on or import duties relating to
materials and equipment imported for our manufacturing operations as well as restrictions on or import
duties levied on our products in our export markets may adversely affect our business prospects, financial
performance and cash flows.

A significant part of our materials used in the production of our modules, particularly solar cells, is imported
from China and other South East Asian jurisdictions. Any restrictions, either from the GoI or any state or
provincial government or governmental authority, or from restrictions imposed by any other applicable
authorised bilateral or multilateral organisations, on such imports from China and other jurisdictions in which
our principal suppliers are located, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

The GoI had introduced the safeguard duty in July 2018 on import of solar cells which was applicable until
July 2021, which has been replaced with significantly higher basic customs duty of 25% on solar cells with
effect from April 1, 2022. The imposition of such high basic customs duty on imported solar cells has
impacted our cost of materials. In addition, the GoI may impose additional duties on the equipment that we
will need to import for implementation of our proposed expansion, upgradation and backward integration
plans, including adding 6 GW capacity of ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility and
backward integration into 5.4 GW of solar cell capacity. Similarly, the products we manufacture and export
could be subject to additional duties.

Such restrictions on or import duties relating to solar cells and other materials used in module manufacturing
or on any equipment required to be imported for our proposed capacity expansion and technology upgradation
plans may adversely impact our results of operations and business prospects.

9. We bid for solar projects for power supply with state power generation companies and for EPC and O&M
projects through a competitive bidding process that expose us to risks, the occurrence of which may delay
or prevent completion of such projects and may lead to unforeseen increases in costs and could adversely
impact our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

We bid for certain solar projects from time to time, which exposes us to certain risks. In such projects, we are
generally exposed to execution risks that could be caused by various factors, including delay in obtaining
approvals, delays in execution, cost overruns amongst others in relation to our capacity expansion. This may
result in levy of damages and may also result in revenue losses. In particular, large size solar power projects
typically involve longer execution periods to deliver and complete. The time and costs required to complete
such projects may increase on account of factors such as price escalation, funding constraints, shortage of
materials, equipment, technical constraints, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, labour disputes,
disputes with contractors, accidents, changes in government priorities and policies, changes in market
conditions, interest rates, delays in obtaining requisite approvals from the relevant authorities or other
unforeseeable circumstances. Any of these factors may delay or prevent completion of such projects and may
lead to unforeseen increases in costs and could adversely impact business, financial condition and results of
operations.

41
We have entered into a number of power supply agreements with state power generation companies to be
performed by our Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, we had 46 active power purchase agreements. Pursuant
to such agreements we are required to operate the project for a specified period (typically 25 years) from the
commercial operation date, subsequent to which the ownership of the project is required to be transferred in
operational condition. Under these arrangements, we are required to sell all available capacity from identified
solar PV grid-interactive power plants to the extent of contracted capacity on first priority basis to the
purchaser, and not to any third party. Financial closure is required to be arranged within a specified period
(typically 12 months) from date of handing over of the project land, failing which our performance bank
guarantee may be invoked. We are not permitted to inject power three months prior to scheduled commercial
operation date from the project/unit without the consent of the purchaser. In the event that generation exceeds
certain levels relative to the capacity utilisation factor specified, we are then permitted to sell excess power
generated to third parties, provided that the purchaser is entitled to a right of first refusal at a certain
percentage of the tariff rate. In addition, a change in controlling shareholding of our Subsidiaries will result
in an event of default, which could result in us being liable to pay damages as well as termination of such
agreement. Inability to operate such projects or otherwise termination of such agreements as a result of our
default or other factors beyond our control could adversely impact of business, financial condition and results
of operations.

Further, we bid for both EPC and O&M projects through a competitive bidding process, where projects are
awarded following competitive bidding processes and satisfaction of prescribed qualification criteria such as
past experience in handling projects. The table below provides details of the total numbers of bids in which
we participated and won in the relevant periods as set forth below:

During Fiscal 2022, we did not win any bids from the bids that we participated in on account of various
reasons such as not meeting the requisite qualification criteria. Further, while there have been no cost
escalations, for almost all of our projects that we have won, however, for the Project, at the time of submitting
application for the PLI Scheme, the total cost was estimated to be ₹ 77,770.00 million. However, on account
of various reasons such as changes in technological aspects of the project, automation of certain aspects of
project or natural cost escalations resulted in an increase in the total project cost to ₹ 90,499.59 million. For
further information, see “ - We intend to utilise a major portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital
expenditure requirements. This includes part financing the cost of establishing the proposed fully integrated
6 GW facility by way of an investment in our wholly owned subsidiary Sangam Solar One Private Limited
which may be subject to the risk of unanticipated delays in implementation, cost overruns and other risks and
uncertainties.” and “Objects of the Offer” on pages 37 and 138, respectively.

Projects awarded to us may be subject to litigation by unsuccessful bidders, which may result in delay in
award of the projects and/or notification of appointed dates, for the bids where we have been successful,
which may result in us having to retain unallocated resources and as a result, it would adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition. Further, we may be required to incur substantial expenditure,
time and resources in defending such litigation. While there have been no such litigation, or invocation of
performance guarantee for any of our projects in the last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024,
however, we cannot assure you that no such instances will happen in future, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, revenue from operations and cash flows going forward.

10. Growing our business through acquisitions or joint ventures may subject us to additional risks that may
adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and prospects.

We have grown our business in the past through acquisitions and we may going forward expand our business
through strategic acquisitions of or joint ventures with other entities. The table below provides details of the
acquisition by us in the last three Fiscals and the three months ended June 30, 2024:

In addition, we have also entered into a term sheet dated July 26, 2024 with Dhari Solar Park Private Limited,
our Group Company for the acquisition of a 36 MWp solar power project (yet to be commissioned), pursuant
to a business transfer. For further information, see “Our Business – Business Strategies - Continue to scale
our operations through organic and inorganic expansion opportunities” on page 239.

We have acquired 96.15% of the equity share capital of Indosolar Limited, a company engaged in the
manufacture of solar cells and modules, whose shares got listed on the Stock Exchanges on September 29,
2010, pursuant to an order dated April 21, 2022 (“Effective Date”) passed by NCLT Delhi approving a
resolution plan submitted by our Company (“NCLT Order”). In terms of the resolution plan, except to the
extent of payments to be made to the operational creditors and other creditors mentioned in the resolution
plan, our Company and Indosolar Limited would have no liability towards any operational creditors and any
other creditors with respect to any claims, disclosed or un-disclosed and/or in India or anywhere outside India
for the period prior to the Effective Date or even accruing after the Effective Date, but arising out of matters
or actions arising prior to the Effective Date. Further, all pending litigation relating to any period prior to the
Effective Date, shall stand extinguished and no person shall have any further rights or claims against Indosolar
Limited or the new management. Furthermore, contractual claims and liabilities pertaining to a period prior
to the Effective Date or even accruing after the Effective Date, but arising out of matters or actions arising
prior to Effective Date, shall be deemed to be cancelled as on the Effective Date. In addition, in accordance
with the Indosolar Limited resolution plan the total consideration for the acquisition was ₹1,897.93 million.
Our Company received the approval of the resolution plan on April 21, 2022. Following the approval of the
resolution plan by the NCLT Delhi, our Company was required to facilitate (i) payment of ₹945.83 million
towards the settlement of claims of the financial and other creditors of Indosolar Limited along with the cost
of the CIRP; and (ii) infuse fresh funds of ₹952.10 million into Indosolar Limited towards its capital
expenditure and working capital requirements. These amounts were required to be paid by our Company over
a period of 24 months from the effective date of the resolution plan, i.e., April 21, 2022. In Fiscal 2023, our
Company has undertaken an equity infusion of ₹ 400.00 million. In Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 and for three
months ended June 30, 2024, our Company infused ₹ 217.30 million, ₹ 804.76 million and ₹ 177.66 million,
respectively, into Indosolar Limited through loan towards payment of CIRP cost, financial creditors,
operational creditors, workmen and employees dues and accounted acquisition as per the terms of the
resolution plan. In Fiscal 2024, our Company has paid the entire amount to various creditors of Indosolar
Limited, and as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus no amount is outstanding.

The table below provides brief details of the assets and liabilities of Indosolar Limited as at March 31, 2024
and June 30, 2024:

Successful integration of acquired entities will depend on our ability to effect any required changes in

43
operations or personnel of the acquired entity, and may require capital expenditure. We may encounter
difficulties in integrating the processes, systems and employees in a timely and cost-effective manner,
difficulties in establishing effective management information and financial control systems, challenges to
assimilating corporate culture, and unforeseen legal, regulatory, contractual or other issues. While we have
not entered into any joint ventures in the last three years and three months ended June 30, 2024, however,
any such acquisitions or joint ventures in the future may involve risks that could materially and adversely
affect our business, including the failure of such acquisitions to achieve the expected investment results. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to integrate the operations of Indosolar Limited with our existing
operations. Further, there can be no assurance that the amounts paid by our Company towards the acquisition
of Indosolar Limited will provide the anticipated benefits.

11. Implementing our growth strategy and our business operations will depend on our ability to maintain
access to multiple funding sources on acceptable terms.

Our strategic business initiatives include the setting up of additional up to 3 GW module manufacturing
capacity in the United States, and a fully integrated 6GW facility at Dhenkanal, Odisha which are subject to
receiving applicable regulatory approvals including for setting up of our manufacturing facilities and for our
operations. The expansion plans for the fully integrated 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules
manufacturing facility at Dhenkanal, Odisha will be funded partly by the proceeds of this Offer, internal
accruals and partly through financing arrangements. For its proposed objects of establishing the fully
integrated 6 GW capacity of ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility at Dhenkanal,
Odisha, as of August 31, 2024, our Company has deployed an amount aggregating to ₹1,385.80 million from
its internal accruals and the Project Company has deployed an amount aggregating to ₹80.90 million from an
inter-corporate deposit received from our Company. Further, we have given a guarantee of ₹ 540.00 million
to Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited for securing our PLI incentive for setting up and manufacturing
of solar PV modules from our 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility.
For further details, see “Objects of the Offer - Requirement of funds and utilisation of Net Proceeds” on page
139. In addition, we have paid US$ 2.46 million or ₹ 204.49 million towards deposit for long-term lease for
the land and building on which the module manufacturing capacity in the United States will be located.

While we have historically funded our capital requirements primarily through a mix of equity, corporate debt
and project financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain adequate financing
for our strategic business initiatives or that we will be able to obtain attractive rates and terms associated with
such financing.

For Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, our capital
expenditure towards additions to property, plant and equipment, capital work-in-progress, intangible assets,
intangible assets under development excluding capital work-in-progress capitalized during the year/period
and intangible assets under development capitalised during the year/period were ₹ 5,729.88 million, ₹
9,222.21 million, ₹ 12,290.18 million, ₹ 2,886.91 million and ₹ 3,365.05 million, respectively, as per table

Total 6,874.96 15,282.59 24,906.40 17,625.95 27,555.58

The capital expenditure undertaken by us are sourced primarily through internal accruals and equity share
issuances undertaken by us in the last three years and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024.
For further information on cash flows in relation to operating, investing and financing activities for the afore-
stated years / period, see “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations – Cash Flows” on page 495.

Any future expansion plans may also require significant capital expenditure. Any significant change to our
growth strategy could also impact our future financial performance. In addition, rising interest rates could
adversely impact our ability to secure financing on favourable terms and may result in an increase in our cost
of capital.

12. We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under our financing agreements. Any non-
compliance may lead to, amongst others, accelerated repayment schedule and suspension of further
drawdowns, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.

As on August 31, 2024, we had total outstanding borrowings (on a consolidated basis) of ₹ 12,701.91 million.
Some of the financing arrangements entered into by us include conditions that require our Company to obtain
respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities (including certain corporate actions) and
entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have
significant consequences on our business and operations. These covenants vary depending on the
requirements of the financial institution extending such loan and the conditions negotiated under each
financing agreement. Some of the corporate actions that require prior consents or intimations to be made to
certain lenders include, amongst others, (a) changes to the capital structure of our Company or effect any
material changes in its shareholding; (b) amendments to memorandum and/or articles of association of our
Company, (c) changing the constitution/composition of the Board; (d) undertaking any merger, de-merger,
consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, reconstitution, scheme of arrangement or compromise with
creditors or shareholders; (e) change in the general nature of business of our Company or to undertake any
expansion or invest in any other entity. While we have received all relevant consents required for the purposes
of this Offer and have complied with these covenants, a failure to comply with such covenants in the future
may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives that we may propose to take from time to time.

In addition, while there has been no violation of any restrictive covenants of material impact and no event of
default has occurred and we have not rescheduled repayment of loans in relation to debt financing availed by
our Company in the past three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, we cannot assure that this will
continue to be the case in the future. Further, while there have not been any invocation of personal guarantees
of Promoters and / or guarantees issued by our Company in the past three Fiscals and three months ended
June 30, 2024 and there has been no default in any loan repayment, we cannot assure that this will continue
to be the case in the future.

Certain of our secured borrowing facilities may also permit the lenders to recall the loan on demand. Such
recalls on borrowed amounts may be contingent upon happening of an event beyond our control and there
can be no assurance that we will be able to persuade our lenders to give us extensions or to refrain from
exercising such recalls which may adversely affect our operations and cash flows. A failure to observe the
covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents/ waivers may lead to acceleration
of amounts due under such facilities and triggering of cross default provisions such as an absolute right to
convert entire outstanding facilities and/or unpaid interest into fully paid-up Equity Shares of our Company.
If the obligations under any of our financing documents are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a portion
of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents, thereby reducing the
availability of cash for our working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. In addition,
during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising, further

45
financing. Our Company would also be unable to extend any investment/loans or advances to
subsidiaries/group companies without the prior consent of the lenders.
Further, pursuant to the borrowing arrangements and documentation entered into with Indian Renewable
Energy Development Agency Limited and the consortium of lenders consisting of the State Bank of India,
Bank of Maharashtra, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and IndusInd Bank
Limited, each such lender has a right to appoint a nominee director on our Board to protect their respective
interests, during the subsistence of our borrowing obligations to such lenders. Such nominee director would
not be liable to retire by rotation and would also not be required to possess any qualification shares. In
addition, opening of current accounts with other banks which are not under the consortium would require
prior approval from the lenders.

However, we have availed specific waivers from each of the aforementioned lenders with respect to their
right to appoint their nominee director on our Board, such that such appointment shall only be made upon
occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the respective loan documentation. In case any such
event of default occurs, the consequent appointment of a nominee director by the lenders may require our
Company to appoint an additional independent director to comply with the corporate governance
requirements under applicable laws.

For further details of the terms and conditions of our borrowing arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness”
on page 507.

13. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

We are exposed to foreign exchange related risks as a portion of our revenue from operations are in foreign
currency, including the US Dollar. Similarly, a significant portion of our expenses, particularly cost of
materials relating to import of solar cells and other materials used in manufacturing our modules, as well as
imported equipment used in our manufacturing facilities are denominated in currencies other than Indian
Rupees including the US Dollar. The table below sets forth details of certain parameters for the year/period
indicated:

(net) (₹ million)
* Foreign currency expenses have been calculated as a total amount spent towards imports including import of goods and services.

A significant or frequent fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and other currencies, may
adversely affect our results of operations.

Our ability to predict future foreign currency fluctuations is limited and due to the time gap between the
accounting of purchases and actual payments, the foreign exchange rate at which the purchase is recorded in
the books of accounts may vary with the foreign exchange rate at which the payment is made, thereby
benefiting or affecting us negatively, depending on the appreciation or depreciation of the Rupee. In addition,
we import a significant amount of materials from China to manufacture our products. We may, therefore, be
exposed to risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations and we may not be able to pass on all losses on
account of foreign currency fluctuations to our customers, and as a result, suffer losses on account of foreign
currency fluctuations. While we enter into foreign currency hedging transactions from time to time, there is
no guarantee that we may be able to manage our foreign currency risk effectively or mitigate exchange
exposures, at all times and our inability may harm our results of operations and cause our results to fluctuate
and/or decline.

46
14. Our ability to access capital at attractive costs depends on our credit ratings. Non-availability of credit
ratings or a poor rating may restrict our access to capital and thereby adversely affect our business,
financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations.

As of April 3, 2024 we have received a long-term credit rating of CARE A; Stable and a short-term credit
rating of CARE A; Stable / CARE A2+ with respect to our borrowing facilities from CARE Ratings. An
inability to secure future financing on attractive terms or at all may adversely impact these strategic initiatives
and our business prospects. Credit ratings reflects the opinion of the rating agency on our management, track
record, diversified clientele, increase in scale and operations and margins, medium term revenue visibility
and operating cycle.

While we have not experienced downgrading in our credit ratings received recently, including in the last three
Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, any downgrade in our credit ratings or our inability to obtain
such credit rating in a timely manner or any non-availability of credit ratings, or poor ratings, could increase
borrowing costs, will give the right to our lenders to review the facilities availed by us under our financing
arrangements and adversely affect our access to capital and debt markets, which could in turn adversely affect
our interest margins, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

15. Our erstwhile auditor and current Auditor have included certain remarks in the annexure to their audit
reports on the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2016 / Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020, for
the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively and in their auditor’s
report for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Further, our erstwhile auditor and our current Auditor have included the following qualifications in the
annexure to their audit reports on the Companies (Auditors Report) Order, 2016/ Companies (Auditor’s
Report) Order, 2020 for the year ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024, respectively
and in their auditor’s report for the year ended March 31, 2024:

As at and for the year ended March 31, 2022

• Disputed statutory dues including Gujarat value added tax, goods and services tax, Madhya Pradesh
value added tax and central sales tax, Maharashtra value added tax and income tax which are pending
before various judicial forums.

As at and for the year ended March 31, 2023

• The title deeds of immovable properties (other than properties where our Company is the lessee and
the lease agreements are duly executed in the favour of the lessee) are held in the name of our Company
except for seven land parcels for value of ₹ 62.24 million acquired on September 29, 2022 from Shri
Swami Solar Park Private Limited, for which transfer of title deeds are in process.

• Our Company has been sanctioned working capital limits in excess ₹ 50 million in aggregate from
banks and financial institutions during the year on the basis of security of current assets of our
Company. Based on the records examined by our Auditor in the normal course of audit of the financial
statements, the quarterly returns/statements filed by our Company with such banks and financial
institutions are not in agreement with the unaudited books of accounts of our Company.

• Undisputed statutory dues including goods and services tax, provident fund, employees’ state
insurance, duty of custom, cess and other statutory dues have generally been regularly deposited with
the appropriate authorities though there has been a serious delays in a few cases relating to income tax.

51.96 million) and for which our Company has also filed an insurance claim.

47
As at and for the year ended March 31, 2024

• Our Company has been sanctioned working capital limits in excess ₹ 50 million in aggregate from
banks and financial institutions during the year on the basis of security of current assets of our
Company. Based on the records examined by our Auditor in the normal course of audit of the financial
statements, the quarterly returns/statements filed by our Company with such banks and financial
institutions are not in agreement with the unaudited books of accounts of our Company.

• Disputed statutory dues including central sales tax, value added tax, entry tax and income tax under the
sales tax act and the IT Act are pending before various judicial forums.

The audit report on our audited financial statements as of and for the financial year ended March
31, 2024 contains under “Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements”:

(i) Backup of books of accounts and other related documents maintained in electronic mode has
not been maintained on servers physically located in India on a daily basis.

(ii) In Fiscal 2024, our Company migrated to a new accounting software. The software used by
our Company for maintaining books of accounts has a feature for audit trail facility and the
same was operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software,
except for in respect of the new accounting software where audit trail feature was enabled with
effect from March 25, 2024 and audit trail feature was not enabled for certain changes made,
using privileged/ administrative access rights.

(iii) Further, our Company has used an accounting software which is operated by a third-party
software service provider, for maintaining books of account relating to payroll processing. In
the absence of any information on existence of audit trail (edit logs) for any direct changes
made at the database level in the 'Independent Service Auditor's Assurance Report on the
Description of Controls, their Design and Operating Effectiveness' ('Type 2 report' issued in
accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants), the auditors are unable to comment on whether audit trail feature with respect
to the database of the said software was enabled and operated throughout the year or whether
there were any instances of audit trail being tampered with.

(iv) In addition, in case of six subsidiaries, as reported by the auditors of such subsidiaries, the
audit trail feature was not enabled during the year.

There is no assurance that our auditors’ reports for any future fiscal periods will not contain such
qualifications which could subject us to additional liabilities due to which our reputation and financial
condition may be adversely affected. Further, with respect to the statutory dues mentioned above which have
been deposited with delays in a few cases, we cannot assure that we will not have such similar issues in the
future. Further, any failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and
regulatory action, as well as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.

16. We are dependent on third party suppliers of materials and components for manufacturing our products.
Any disruptions in the supply or availability of materials and components of the appropriate quality
standards and fluctuation in their prices may have an adverse impact on our business operations, cash
flows and financial performance.

Our ability to remain competitive, maintain costs and profitability depend, in part, on our ability to source
and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of materials and components at acceptable prices. Our major
requirements of materials include, inter-alia, solar cells, backsheets, encapsulants, glass, aluminium panels,
junction box, ribbon and busbar. We depend on external suppliers, majority of which with whom we have
not entered into any formal long term contracts, for our materials and components required and typically
purchase materials and components on a purchase order basis and place such orders with them in advance on
the basis of our anticipated requirements. As a result, the success of our business is significantly dependent
on maintaining good relationships with our material and component suppliers. Absence of long-term supply
contracts subject us to risks such as price volatility caused by various factors such as market fluctuations,

48
currency fluctuations, climatic and environmental conditions, production and transportation cost, changes in
domestic as well as international government policies, and regulatory and trade sanctions. While we have
back to back arrangement with majority of our suppliers to reduce the impact of commodity or price risk,
however, we continue to remain susceptible to the risks arising out of price fluctuations as well as import
duties, which could result in a decline in our operating margins. While we have a formal hedging policy, and
have back to back arrangements to hedge risk on foreign exchange fluctuation including natural hedge due to
both import and exports, forward contracts and option contracts which reduce the impact of foreign exchange
fluctuation, but a high volatility may impact the operating margins.

Although we have not faced significant disruptions in the procurement of raw materials in the past, the
COVID-19 pandemic temporarily affected our ability to source materials from certain vendors who were
unable to transport materials to us. Cost of such materials also increased significantly as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic related increase in freight costs. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
procure the required quantities and quality of materials commensurate with our requirements.

The table below sets forth our cost of materials consumed, total purchases from our top five suppliers in India
and outside India as a percentage of our total purchases for the year/period indicated:

We typically purchase our raw materials on spot basis with purchase orders and do not engage in long term
purchase agreements for the same with majority of such suppliers. There can be no assurance that a particular
supplier will continue to supply us with materials in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be
able to enter into new or renew our existing arrangements with suppliers on terms acceptable to us, which
could have an adverse effect on our ability to source materials in a commercially viable and timely manner,
if at all, which may impact our business and profitability.

17. Our Auditor has included an emphasis of matter in their auditors’ report on our audited financial
statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Our Auditor has included an emphasis of matter in their auditors’ report on our audited financial statements
as at and for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Fiscal 2023

The Auditor have drawn attention to a note of the consolidated financial statements which describes the
impact of the adjustment related to accounting for government grant in earlier years leading to restatement of
the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2022 and as at April 1, 2021.
The opinion of our Auditor are not modified in respect of this matter.

The table below provides details of such restatements:

Notes:
(1) During Fiscal 2022, our Company has accounted the export promotion capital goods (“EPCG”) received on property, plant and
equipment (PPE) procured in earlier years, which resulted in restatement of PPE, depreciation expenses and government grant
related balances (deferred government grant income / government grant income) for the year ended March 31, 2022 and as at
April 1, 2021.
(2) There is no impact of restatement on the cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2022.

There is no assurance that our auditors’ reports for any future fiscal periods will not contain qualifications,
matters of emphasis or other observations which could subject us to additional liabilities due to which our
reputation and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Further, the examination report issued by the auditors of our Subsidiary, Waaree Renewables Technologies
Limited, refers to an emphasis of matter paragraph included in their auditors’ report on financial statements
of Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited, which does not require any corrective adjustment in the
Restated Consolidated Summary Statements drawing attention to a note of the consolidated financial
statements of Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited which states that the approval of the amalgamation
of Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries namely Sangam Rooftop Private Limited

50
("SRPL"), Waaree PV Technologies Private Limited (“WPTPL”) and Waasang Solar Private Limited
(“WSPL”) by the NCLT with effective from June 11, 2024 with appointed date April 1, 2022 as per Ind AS
103 - "Business Combinations" by way of common control entities. The numbers and disclosures pertaining
to Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited and its subsidiaries SRPL, WPTPL and WSPL for the Fiscal
2023 have been collated with the numbers of Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited from the respective
financial statements for that year. These financial statements were audited by other auditors whose audit
report expressed an unmodified opinion thereon. The auditors of Waaree Renewables Technologies Limited
have examined the adjustments/restatements with respect to consolidation of these entities as per the scheme
of arrangement and their opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

18. The outstanding orders in our order book may be delayed, modified or cancelled which may have an
adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, we have a substantial order book of solar PV modules and as of April 1, 2022, 2023 and 2024,
our Company’s pending order book of solar PV modules was 3.28GW, 18.06GW and 19.93GW, respectively.
Further, as of June 30, 2024, our Company’s pending order book of solar PV modules was 16.66 GW which
included domestic orders, export orders, and franchisee orders and 3.75 GW of orders for our Subsidiary,
Waaree Solar Americas Inc. located in the United States with majority of the orders of our Company to be
fulfilled by Fiscal 2027 while the outstanding order of the Subsidiary to be fulfilled by Fiscal 2030. We cannot
guarantee that the income anticipated in our order book will be realized on time, or at all. For instance, order
cancellation charges were nil, nil, ₹ 3413.42 million, nil and nil in Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 and in the
three months ended June 30, 2023 and 204, respectively. The charges in Fiscal 2024 were on account of
cancellation of orders by two customers on account of market conditions leading to customers decision to
cancel orders. Any cancellations or scope adjustments, which may occur from time to time, could reduce the
amount of our order book and the income and profits that we ultimately earn from the contracts. Any delay,
cancellation or payment default could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and cash flows.

19. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Gross Proceeds are based on management
estimates and may be subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond our control.

We intend to use the Gross Proceeds for the purposes described in “Objects of the Offer” on page 138. As on
the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our funding requirements are based on management estimates and
our current business plans and is subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances, costs,
business initiatives, other financial conditions or business strategies. While we will use the Net Proceeds
towards part financing the cost of establishing a 6 GW of Ingot Wafer, Solar Cell and Solar PV Module
manufacturing facility, the amount of Net Proceeds to be used will be based on our management’s discretion.
Our internal management estimates may exceed fair market value or the value that would have been
determined by third party appraisals, which may require us to reschedule or reallocate our project and capital
expenditure and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.

The deployment of the Gross Proceeds will be at the discretion of our Board and will be in accordance with
applicable law. Further, the deployment of the Gross Proceeds will be monitored by a monitoring agency
appointed pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations. We may have to reconsider our estimates or business
plans due to changes in underlying factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as interest rate
fluctuations, changes in input cost, and other financial and operational factors.

Accordingly, prospective investors in the Offer will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with
respect to the use of proceeds. If we are unable to deploy the Gross Proceeds in a timely or an efficient
manner, it may affect our business and results of operations.

For details in relation to other objects related risks, see “ – We intend to utilise a major portion of the Net
Proceeds for funding our capital expenditure requirements. This includes part financing the cost of
establishing the proposed fully integrated 6 GW facility by way of an investment in our wholly owned
subsidiary Sangam Solar One Private Limited which may be subject to the risk of unanticipated delays in
implementation, cost overruns and other risks and uncertainties.” and “ – The proposed Project is dependent
on various government subsidies. In the event such subsidies do not materialize or the state or central
government does not approve the entire subsidy amount, we may have to raise additional capital, which may

51
materially impact our cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.” on pages 37 and 38,
respectively.

20. Four out of five of our operational manufacturing facilities are located in Gujarat, India which exposes
our operations to potential risks arising from local and regional factors which may restrict our operations
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we currently operate four out of five of our manufacturing
facilities are located in the state of Gujarat, India. The following table sets forth certain information relating
to manufacturing facilities for the periods indicated:

52
Due to the geographic concentration of our manufacturing operations, our operations are susceptible to
disruptions caused by local and regional factors, including agitations, accidents, system failures, economic
and weather conditions, natural disasters, demographic factors, and other unforeseen events and
circumstances. Our manufacturing facilities may be affected, and there may be significant delays in shipments
of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations and cash flows. While there have been no material instances of disruption in any of our
manufacturing facilities in the last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, except due to the
impact of COVID-19, where due to nationwide lockdowns, we ceased manufacturing operations for several
weeks in April and May 2020, we cannot assure you that such instances will not happen in the future which
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

21. If we experience insufficient cash flows from our operations or are unable to borrow to meet our working
capital requirements, it may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash
flows.

Our business requires working capital primarily as a considerable amount of time passes between purchase
materials and components and sale of our products. As a result, we are required to maintain sufficient stock
of raw materials at all times in order to meet manufacturing requirements, thus increasing our storage and
working capital requirements. Consequently, there could be situations where the total funds available may
not be sufficient to fulfil our commitments, and hence we may need to incur additional indebtedness in the
future, or utilize internal accruals to satisfy our working capital needs. Our future success depends on our
ability to continue to secure and successfully manage sufficient amounts of working capital. Further, our
ability to arrange financing and the costs of capital of such financing are dependent on numerous factors.
While there have been no instances of modifications in payment terms by our customers or franchisees in the
last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, we are also required to provide performance
guarantees and advance payment guarantees to our customers which requires us to block our funds that can
be used for working capital.

We typically rely on internal accruals as well as credit facilities with banks to provide for our working capital
arrangements. The table below sets forth details of certain parameters as of the dates indicated:

(2)
Debtor days is calculated as 365 days divided by debtor turnover ratio.
(3)
Creditor Payable Days is calculated as 365 days divided by credit turnover ratio.
(4)
Working Capital is calculated as total current assets – total current liabilities.

We have experienced an increase in our inventory days in the last three Fiscals and the three months ended
June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, on account of an increase in the in-transit inventory. As we pursue our
growth plan, we may be required to raise additional funds by incurring further indebtedness or issuing

53
additional equity to meet our capital expenditures in the future. We cannot assure you that we will not
experience insufficient cash flows or be able to borrow funds on a timely basis, or, at all, to meet our working
capital and other requirements, or to pay our debt, which could materially and adversely affect our business
and results of operations. Although we sell products either against advance payment or against letter of credit
which, coupled with our internal accruals, may be able to support our working capital requirements, we cannot
assure you that this will have sufficient liquidity to meet our working capital requirements.

22. Decline in the price of solar PV module prices may have an adverse impact on our business, results of
operations and cash flows.

However, in fiscal 2024, module prices underwent a significant decline, standing at $0.11 per Wp in March
2024, down 43% YoY. The sharp decline can be attributed mainly to the supply glut in China and low
upstream components including polysilicon. Domestic module prices declined in line with China prices to
$0.18 per Wp in March 2024 but maintained a sizeable premium over China prices. As of March 2024, India
had approximately 63 GW module capacity, in contrast to only around 13 GW of cell capacity. (Source:
CRISIL Report, page 171) Since, our business is significantly influenced by the prevailing market conditions,
particularly in the pricing of the solar PV modules any further decline in the price of solar PV modules beyond
our expectations may exert pressure on our profit margins and impact the realization of anticipated revenue
from customer contracts which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

23. We are exposed to credit risk from our customers and the recoverability of our trade receivables is subject
to uncertainties.

We typically allow certain credit period to some of our customers and are therefore exposed to credit risk
from such customers. The table below sets forth certain details of our trade receivables, and trade receivable
turnover days for the year/period indicated:

A customer’s ability to make payments on timely basis depend on various factors such as the general
economic and market conditions and the customer’s cash flow position, which are out of our control. Delays
in receiving payments from our customers may adversely affect our cash flow position and our ability to meet
our working capital requirements. There is no assurance that our customers will pay us on a timely basis or
at all, which may adversely affect the recoverability of our trade receivables, or that we will be able to
efficiently manage the level of bad debt arising from delayed payments.

Bringing action against our customers to enforce their contractual obligations is often difficult and there can
be no assurance that if we initiate any legal proceedings against any such entities, we will receive a judgment
in our favour or on a timely basis. A failure by any of our customers to meet its contractual commitments, or
an insolvency or liquidation of any of our customers, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

24. We may not be able to adequately protect or continue to use our intellectual property. In addition, the use
of the brand “Waaree” or similar trade names by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our
business growth and prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We sell our products and services in India directly as well as through our retail network comprising of our
franchisees. We also export our products and services to customers in various international markets. Our

54
Promoters are also interested in the use of trademarks such as “Waaree” to promote, advertise, distribute and
sell products in India. Further, while we do not have a formal arrangement or a brand or a trade licensing
agreement, the Waaree brand name is also used by our Subsidiaries as well as our members of Promoter
Group and Group Companies and we are dependent on these entities to maintain our brand name and
reputation. Any negative publicity faced by such entities may have an adverse impact on the “Waaree” brand
which may impact our reputation. For further details see, “Our Subsidiaries”, “Our Promoters and Promoter
Group – Entities Forming part of the Promoter Group” and “Group Companies” on pages 279, 318 and 518,
respectively.

Our success and ability to compete depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property and
proprietary rights and we generally rely on patent and trademark laws, and confidentiality or license
agreements with our employees, consultants, franchisees, customers and other third parties, and generally
limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information, in order to protect our intellectual property
rights and maintain our competitive position.

We have registered certain trademarks in India, and may apply for other intellectual property registrations in
the future. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we have six trademarks and one patent registered
in the name of our Company relating to our various brands including our logo and patent for roof
top mount for racking PV solar panels, which we use for marketing and branding our business, two trademark
in the name of our Subsidiaries on an exclusive basis, and have made five trademarks applications which are
pending in India under different classes for our logo (in green colour). Out of the five pending
applications, while one application has been accepted and advertised, objections have been received against
the remaining applications. In addition, we have also applied one trademark in the United States which is
pending.

If we fail to file appropriate replies to the objections or register the appropriate intellectual property, or our
efforts to protect relevant intellectual property prove to be inadequate, the value attached to our brand and
proprietary property could deteriorate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business growth
and prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In particular, the use of similar trade names by third parties may result in confusion among our customers,
and we are exposed to the risk that entities in India and elsewhere could pass off their products as our products,
including imitation products, which may adversely affect sale of our products, resulting in a decrease in
market share due to a decrease in demand for our products. Such imitation products may not only result in
loss of sales but also adversely affect our reputation and consequently our future sales and results of
operations. In the event of such unauthorized use, we may be compelled to pursue legal action for the
protection of our brand and intellectual property, which may divert our attention and resources thereby
affecting our business operations. However, we may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the
damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be adequate to compensate us for the harm suffered.

We primarily rely on a combination of trademarks, patents and other intellectual property laws and non-
disclosure agreements to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. Our efforts to protect our
intellectual property may not be adequate. We may also be susceptible to claims from third-parties asserting
infringement and other related claims. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there have been no
trademark disputes instituted by or against our Company before any judicial forum. Regardless of their merits,
such claims could materially and adversely affect our relationships with current or future customers, result in
costly litigation, delay or disrupt supply of products, divert management’s attention and resources, subject us
to significant liabilities, or require us to cease certain activities. Any of the foregoing could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

25. We derive a substantial portion of our Retail Sales from Gujarat and are in the process of expanding our
retail network to target new customers. Any adverse change in the demand of our products in Gujarat or
failure to expand into new markets may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations.

Geographically, majority of our revenue from Retail Sales was generated from Gujarat in the last three Fiscals
and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024. The table below sets forth our Retail Sales generated
from Gujarat and from top five States, as a percentage of our total Retail Sales for the year/period indicated:

respectively.

Further, in order to cater to the growing market demand for our products and expand our presence across
India, we are in the process of increasing our presence in states that we have recently entered, and expanding
our presence to additional cities and towns in states where we have been present for a considerable period,
particularly, additional new towns and cities in the state of Delhi, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,
Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Further, having limited or no presence in such new markets as
compared to some of our competitors, may lead to lower product pricing due to lack of brand presence and
higher expenditure on brand building. As a result, it may be more expensive for us to sell our products in
these new markets and it may take longer to reach expected sales and profit levels than anticipated, which
could affect the viability of these markets or our overall profitability.

We cannot assure you that we will continue to generate and maintain the historical Retail Sales from our top
five States on account of any adverse impact including change in governmental regulations, which may have
a material impact on our business, cash flows and results of operations. Further, our strategy to enter new
geographies may also be subject to markets with high entry barriers, regulatory or financial, and will thereby
place significant demands on our management, operational and financial resources. There can be no assurance
that our plans to expand in these new markets will be successful, as our competitors may have more
established brands, more experience in trends and deeper relationships with customers in these markets.

26. Information relating to the installed capacity, effective installed capacity and capacity utilization of our
manufacturing facilities included in this Red Herring Prospectus are based on certain assumptions and
estimates and future production and capacity may vary.

The information relating to the installed capacity and effective installed capacity of the manufacturing
facilities for the year/period indicated are based on various assumptions and estimates that have been taken
into account by us for calculation of the installed capacity and effective installed capacity. These assumptions
and estimates include standard capacity calculation practice in the PV module industry, including with respect
to the period during which the manufacturing facilities operate in such period and the average efficiency of
PV modules to be manufactured during such period. In Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 and in the three months
ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, our capacity utilization (calculated on basis of our effective installed
capacity in the relevant fiscal / period) was 46.15%, 40.46%, 43.37%, 48.95% (unannualized) and 45.01%
(unannualized), respectively. For further information, see “Our Business – Our Business Operations –
Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 246. These rates are not indicative of future capacity utilization
rates, which is dependent on various factors, including demand for our products, product mix, availability of
materials and components, our ability to manage our inventory and improve operational efficiency. Under-
utilization of our manufacturing capacities over extended periods, or significant under-utilization in the short-
term, could materially and adversely impact our business, growth prospects and future financial performance.

56
Further, the requirements of our customers are not restricted to one type of product and therefore variations
in demand for certain types of products also requires us to make certain changes in our manufacturing
processes thereby affecting our production schedules. We often increase capacity to meet the anticipated
demand of our customers or significantly reduce production of certain products depending on potential orders.
Certain products require lesser process time whereas certain products require more process time in the same
manufacturing set-out that we have installed. Accordingly, actual production levels and capacity utilization
rates may differ from the installed capacity and effective installed capacity of our manufacturing facilities.

Further, our proposed expansion and backward integration plans are based on demand forecasts that are
subject to various assumptions including product trends in the industry, weather conditions and seasonality
in the industry, and end-customer preferences, that are based on prevailing economic conditions. Adequate
utilization of our expanded module, our solar cell and ingot-wafers manufacturing capacities is therefore
subject to various factors beyond our control and in case of oversupply in the industry or lack of demand, we
may not be able to utilise such capacities in an efficient manner. The success of any capacity expansion and
backward integration plans and expected return on investment on capital invested is subject to, among other
factors, the ability to procure requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner; recruit and ensure satisfactory
performance of personnel to further grow our business; and the ability to absorb additional infrastructure
costs and develop new expertise, all of which affect our ability to utilize the expanded capacities as
anticipated. Also see “– Implementing our growth strategy and our business operations will depend on our
ability to maintain access to multiple funding sources on acceptable terms.” on page 44.

Hence, undue reliance should therefore not be placed on our historical installed capacity, historical effective
installed capacity and capacity utilization information for our existing manufacturing facilities included in
this Red Herring Prospectus.

27. Our business has grown rapidly in recent periods, and we may not be able to sustain our rate of growth in
the future.

Our business has grown rapidly in recent years. The table below sets forth certain metrics on a consolidated
basis for the period/year indicated:

Contributing factors include the increase in our installed capacity from 4GW as of March 31, 2022 to 12 GW
as of June 30, 2024 and the increase in our Export Sales is on account of net PV importers such as the United
States implementing several policies throughout time to reduce their reliance on China for PV products by
introducing tariff barriers such as anti-dumping duties. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 165) Module exports
experienced a significant uptick in Fiscal 2024 reaching a record high of 6,077 MW, up 87% year-on-year
due to higher prices in the international market – export price of domestic modules ranged from USD 0.29-
0.37 per Wp, a significant premium over domestic prices. Further, on February 4, 2022, the Biden

57
administration extended the Section 201 tariffs imposed on the import of solar modules from China for four
years. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 173) On account of such policy measures, we witnessed a substantial
increase in our Export Sales.

We may not be able to sustain our historical growth rate for various reasons beyond our control. Success in
executing our growth strategy is contingent upon, among other factors: accurately prioritising geographic
markets for entry, including by making accurate estimates of addressable market demand; our ability to source
for materials at cost-effective prices; employing skilled employees and engaging appropriate contractors;
bidding for and winning solar energy projects on acceptable terms; effectively tracking bid policies and bid
updates; obtaining cost-effective financing needed for our expansion plans, including succeeding in our
strategy in relation to backward integration into solar cell manufacturing by setting up 5.4 GW solar cell
manufacturing capacity in Chikhli, Gujarat, up to 3 GW module manufacturing facility in the United States;
and the 6 GW capacity ingot-wafers, solar cells and modules manufacturing facility in Odisha under the PLI
Scheme; negotiating favourable payment terms with customers and entering into contractual arrangements
that are commercially acceptable to us; and continued availability of economic incentives along expected
lines.

Our existing operations, personnel and systems may not be adequate to support our growth and expansion
plans and we may be required to make additional investments in our business systems and processes, and
manage our employee base. As we expand our manufacturing operations as well as target new markets, we
also expect to encounter additional challenges in relation to regulatory hurdles and capital financing. These
factors may restrict our ability to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our expansion plans
successfully, respond to competitive pressures and maintain our historical growth rates.

28. We are dependent on third-party transportation providers for the supply of materials for our
manufacturing process and delivery of our finished products.

Our success depends on the supply and transport of the various materials required to our manufacturing
facilities from suppliers and of our finished products from our manufacturing facilities to our customers and
franchisees, which are subject to various uncertainties and risks. We use third-party freight and transportation
providers for the delivery of materials to manufacturing facilities and our finished products to customers.
Transportation strikes, if any, could have an adverse effect on supplies and deliveries to our customers and
from our suppliers. Further, on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, operations of these third-party
transportation providers were affected during the first quarter of Fiscal 2022.

In addition, materials and components, as well as our products shipped to customers, may be lost or damaged
in transit for various reasons including occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be a delay
in delivery of materials and products which may also affect our business and results of operations negatively.
In the event we fail to maintain a sufficient volume of materials and delivery of such materials to us is delayed,
we may be unable to meet orders in a timely manner or at all. Any such inability may result in loss of sales
opportunities that our competitors may capitalize on, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Any compensation received from insurers or third-party
transportation providers may be insufficient to cover the cost of any delays and will not repair damage to our
relationships with our affected customers. Although we have not encountered any instances of material delays
in the last three fiscals and the three months ended June 30, 2024, we cannot assure you that we will not
experience such delays in the future. We may also be affected by an increase in fuel costs, as it will have a
corresponding impact on freight charges levied by our third-party transportation providers.

The table below sets forth our transportation, freight, duty and handling charges as a percentage of our
revenue from operations for the year/period indicated:

Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2024

We could be required to expend considerable resources in addressing our distribution requirements, including
by way of absorbing these excess freight charges to maintain our selling price, which could adversely affect
our results of operations, or passing these charges on to our customers, which could adversely affect demand
for our products.

29. In the past, one of our Group Companies had failed to meet certain legal requirements of SEBI and the
Stock Exchanges. Further, in the past our Company and our Subsidiaries, Waaree Renewable
Technologies Limited and Indosolar Limited, had failed to meet certain legal requirements.

Waaree Technologies Limited, one of our Group Companies, whose equity shares are listed on the BSE, had
failed to comply with certain legal requirements of SEBI and the Stock Exchanges in the following instances:

(a) It had failed to comply with the requirements of Regulation 295 (1) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations. The
said regulation requires a company to implement a bonus issue within two months from the date of the
meeting of board of directors held to approve such bonus issue. Waaree Technologies Limited delayed
the implementation by six days, upon which the BSE imposed a penalty of ₹0.12 million on November
9, 2020. The penalty was paid on that same day.

(b) It did not appoint a qualified company secretary as the compliance officer, for the quarters ended
December 2018 and June 2023, in accordance with Regulation 6(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations.
Consequently, on February 12, 2019 and August 21, 2023, the BSE had imposed a penalty of ₹0.11
million and ₹17,700, respectively.

(c) It failed to comply with Regulation 45(3) of SEBI Listing Regulations, which requires the prior consent
of the Stock Exchanges for change in name.

In case of such non-compliance of applicable laws in future, our reputation may be adversely affected.

Our Company has, in the past, had certain shortfalls and delays in complying with certain secretarial
procedural requirements. Our Company shall undertake corrective measures, as may be required, in relation
to such shortfalls and delays in due course. Further, Waaree Renewable Technologies Limited (“WRTL”),
one of our Subsidiaries, whose equity shares are listed on the BSE, had failed to comply with certain corporate
governance requirements, namely, non-compliance with the requirements pertaining to composition of the
board of directors of WRTL and a penalty of ₹0.12 million was levied which is yet to be paid. In order to
comply with the requirement, WRTL had appointed additional director in the meeting of its board of directors
held on July 22, 2021.

Further, Indosolar Limited (“Indosolar”), one of our Subsidiaries, had failed to comply with certain
requirements of the Stock Exchanges and the SEBI Listing Regulations, such as, inter alia, non-compliance
with the requirement of filing annual reports, non-submission of reconciliation of share capital audit report,
non-submission of statements showing of holding of securities and shareholding pattern. Further, the equity
shares of Indosolar are suspended from trading on the Stock Exchanges, post completion of its corporate
insolvency resolution process and due to the capital reduction process. In relation to the suspension, Indosolar
and our Company have filed representations before the Stock Exchanges to enable Indosolar to comply with
the minimum public shareholding norms. We cannot assure you that outcome of such representations will be
in our favour.

30. The growing reliance on renewable energy sources presents certain risks which may adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The use of renewable energy in India presents several risks. The intermittent and unpredictable nature of
renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, can lead to inconsistent energy supply, potentially
disrupting manufacturing processes and causing production delays. Additionally, the current infrastructure

59
for renewable energy in India may not be sufficiently developed to support large-scale industrial operations,
leading to potential reliability issues. The initial investment costs for renewable energy systems can be
substantial, and there may be ongoing maintenance and operational expenses that could impact the company’s
financial performance. Furthermore, the renewable energy sector is subject to various laws and regulations at
the central, state and local levels, which may change from time to time, and may impose various requirements,
obligations, restrictions, incentives, penalties and sanctions on our business activities, such as renewable
purchase obligations, domestic content requirements, tariffs, taxes, duties, subsidies, environmental
standards, health and safety norms, quality certifications, grid codes, market access, dispute resolution and
other matters, which may affect our compliance costs and risks, and may have a material adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. These factors combined could
adversely affect the company’s operational efficiency, financial stability, and overall competitiveness in the
market.

31. We will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. The Selling Shareholders will receive the net
proceeds from the Offer for Sale.

The Offer consists of a Fresh Issue and an Offer for Sale. Further, while our Company will receive proceeds
from the Fresh Issue, it will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale. The Selling Shareholders will
be entitled to the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which comprises proceeds from the Offer for Sale net
of Offer Expenses shared by the Selling Shareholders, and we will not receive any proceeds from the Offer
for Sale.

32. There have been certain instances in the past involving our Company wherein there have been delays in
timely payment of our Company’s contribution to the employee provident fund. Our Company may be
subjected to penalties in case of any such delays in the future.

In the past, as indicated below, there have been certain instances where our Company has delayed in making
timely payments towards its contribution to the employee provident fund on account of technical error while
processing transaction.

While our Company has subsequently made the requisite contribution and there are no outstanding dues as
on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there can be no assurance that in the future such delays shall not
occur. Any delay in payment of such statutory dues in the future may subject us to statutory and regulatory
action, including penalties.

33. Delay/ default in payment of statutory dues may attract penalties and in turn have an adverse impact on
our financial condition.

We are required to make certain payments to various statutory authorities from time to time, including but
not limited to payments pertaining to employee provident fund, employee state insurance, income tax and
excise duty. The table below sets forth the details of the statutory dues paid by our Company in relation to
our employees for the periods indicated below:

We cannot assure you to that we will be able to pay our statutory dues timely, or at all, in the future. Any
failure or delay in payment of such statutory dues may expose us to statutory and regulatory action, as well
as significant penalties, and may adversely impact our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.

34. We have in the past entered into a number of related party transactions and may continue to enter into
related party transactions in the future on an arm’s length basis, and there can be no assurance that we
could not have achieved more favourable terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related
parties.

In the ordinary course of our business, we have entered into transactions with related parties during Fiscal
2022, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, and from time to time, we
may enter into related party transactions in the future. While all such transactions have been conducted on an
arm’s length basis, in accordance with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations pertaining to the
evaluation and approval of such transactions and all related party transactions that we may enter into post-
listing, will be subject to Board or Shareholders’ approval, as necessary under the Companies Act, the SEBI
Listing Regulations and other application laws. Further, it is likely that we may enter into additional related
party transactions in the future. Such future related party transactions may potentially involve conflicts of
interest. The table below provided details of our arithmetic aggregated absolute total related party transactions
as a percentage of revenue from operations in the period indicated:

a consolidated basis and are post inter-company elimination.

62
Further, certain related party transactions undertaken by our Company such as loans granted, loans received,
purchases from, sales to and capital advance given to related parties constituted more than 10% of total
transactions of similar nature in the last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024.

In addition, we have provided loans to certain of our related parties in the last three Fiscals and three months
ended June 30, 2024 which are repayable on demand and will be repaid by the relevant related party. As of
March 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, loans and advances to related parties
including companies / LLPs where directors are interested amounted to ₹ 122.95 million, ₹ 131.11 million, ₹
144.27 million, ₹ 133.97 million and ₹ 141.43 million. The amount of loans provided to such related parties
are not material and will not have any material impact in the financials of our Company. For example, our
Company has also provided a guarantee of ₹ 369.80 million on behalf of our step-down subsidiary, Waaree
PV Technologies Private Limited, for ₹369.80 million loan availed by it from IREDA and ₹ 209.68 million
for our Subsidiary, Waaree Solar Americas Inc. located in the United States. For further information on our
related party transactions, see “Summary of the Offer Document – Related party transactions” and “Related
party transactions” on pages 25 and 452, respectively.

35. Our Restated Consolidated Summary Statements for the relevant financial reporting periods are not
comparable on account of certain acquisitions and divestments made by our Company in the relevant
financial reporting periods.

We have completed certain acquisitions and divestments in the last three fiscals. For further details, see
“History and Certain Corporate Matters – Details of material acquisition or divestments in the last 10 years”
on page 275. In particular, in 2022 we have acquired 96.15% of the equity share capital of Indosolar Limited,
a company engaged in the manufacture of solar cells and modules, in accordance with the Indosolar Limited
resolution plan for a total consideration of ₹1,897.93 million. Our Company received the approval of the
resolution plan on April 21, 2022. Following the approval of the resolution plan by the NCLT Delhi, our
Company was required to facilitate (i) payment of ₹945.83 million towards the settlement of claims of the
financial and other creditors of Indosolar Limited along with the cost of the CIRP; and (ii) infuse fresh funds
of ₹952.10 million into Indosolar Limited towards its capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
These amounts were required to be paid by our Company over a period of 24 months from the effective date
of the resolution plan, i.e., April 21, 2022. In Fiscal 2023, our Company has undertaken an equity infusion of
₹ 400.00 million. In Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 and for three months ended June 30, 2024, our Company
infused ₹ 217.30 million, ₹ 804.76 million and ₹ 177.66 million, respectively, into Indosolar Limited through
loan towards payment of CIRP cost, financial creditors, operational creditors, workmen and employees dues
and accounted acquisition as per the terms of the resolution plan. As of June 30, 2024, our Company has paid
the entire amount to various creditors of Indosolar Limited, and as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus
no amount is outstanding.

Potential investors should carefully take into account the discussion above, our Restated Consolidated
Summary Statements, and the discussions in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations – Presentation of Financial Information” on page 462, in evaluating
our business and financial performance and in making any investment decision.

36. The loss of one or more members of our senior management or key employees may adversely affect our
ability to conduct our business and implement our strategy. Our success depends upon our management
team and skilled personnel and our ability to attract and retain such persons.

We benefit from the experience of our Board of Directors and the senior management team who have
extensive industry knowledge and expertise, and the loss of any of them could adversely affect our business,
growth and results of operations. Our Board of Directors and our senior management have been instrumental
in implementing our growth strategies and expanding our business.

We also depend on our ability to retain and motivate key employees and attract qualified new employees.
Because the renewable energy industry is relatively new in India, there is a scarcity of skilled personnel with
experience in the industry. If we lose a member of the management team or a key employee, we may not be
able to replace him or her. The following table sets forth the attrition rate of the years/period indicated:

Note:
(1)
Attrition rate has been calculated as the number of employees who have resigned during the period, divided by the number of
employees existing as of the beginning of the period and the numbers of employees who have joined during the period. Our attrition rate
for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 are not comparable to the annual attrition rate since these are unannualized.

The main reason for relatively higher attrition amongst our employees in Fiscal 2022, which we believe was
due to the competitive nature of our industry. We anticipate that the attrition rate may continue to be high due
to the competition in our industry. For details in the change in KMPs in the last three Fiscals, please see “Our
Management - Changes in the Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management in last three years” on
page 313.

Further, India has stringent labour legislation that protects the interests of workers, including legislation that
sets forth detailed procedures for the establishment of unions, dispute resolution, and employee removal, and
legislation that imposes certain financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. Our employees are
not unionized. However, in the event that our employees seek to unionize, it may become difficult for us to
maintain flexible labour policies, which may increase our costs and adversely affect our business.

37. Unsatisfactory performance of or defects in our products may cause us to incur additional expenses and
warranty costs, damage our reputation and cause our sales to decline.

Our products may contain defects that are not detected until after they are shipped or inspected by our
customers. Our modules are typically sold with a 12-year warranty for product manufacturing defects and
with a 30-year warranty relating to output performance of our modules. If a manufacturing defect is
discovered during the relevant warranty period, we are required to either repair or replace the solar module
or refund the purchase price of the module without interest or any charge. As we continue to expand our
operations and increase our sales in existing and new markets, we may be exposed to increased warranty
claims.

We may incur significant repair and replacement costs associated with such claims. Further, we are exposed
to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in property damage or personal
injury, whether as a result of product malfunctions, defects, improper installations or other causes. The
successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary
damages and require us to make significant payments. Whilst there have been certain claims in the past,
however, those were settled.

the increase in our revenue from operations. We cannot assure you that such claims will not increase in future,
which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

Although we have availed product liability insurance coverage, such insurance coverage may be limited and
may not be adequate to fully cover any such claim or damages, and we may not have adequate resources to
satisfy a judgment in the event of a successful claim against us. In addition, real or perceived product defects
could cause significant damage to our market reputation resulting in decrease in sales and market share. An
inability to maintain the consistency and quality of our products and manufacturing process could result in
substandard quality or performance of our products. If we deliver our products with defects, or if there is a
perception that our products are of substandard quality, we may incur substantially increased costs associated
with returns or replacements of our products, our credibility and market reputation could be harmed and our
sales and market share may be adversely affected.

38. An inability to accurately forecast demand or price for our products and manage our inventory may
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

Our business depends on production decisions made in advance based on our estimate of the demand for our
products from customers or franchisees taking into account historical trends. We typically maintain a
reasonable level of inventory of materials, work in progress, traded goods and finished goods.

The table below sets forth certain parameters for the year/period indicated:

As of March 31, As of March 31, As of March 31, As of June 30, As of June


Particulars
2022 2023 2024 2023 30, 2024

Ratio (number of

* On an unannualized basis
(1)
Calculated as cost of goods sold divided by average inventory.

If we overestimate demand for our products, we run the risk of purchasing more materials than necessary,
which could expose us to risks and costs associated with prolonged storage of some of these materials, and

65
materially affect our results of operations. Conversely, if our customers or franchisees place orders for greater
quantities of products compared to their historical requirements, we may not be able to adequately source the
necessary materials in a timely manner, and may not have the required available manufacturing capacity to
meet such demand, leading to loss of business. In addition, if all or a significant number of our suppliers for
any particular material are unable or unwilling to meet our requirements or our estimates fall short of the
demand, we could suffer shortages or significant cost increases. Continued supply disruptions could exert
pressure on our costs, and we cannot assure that all or part of any increased costs can be passed along to our
customers or franchisees in a timely manner or at all, which could adversely impact our business, prospects
and financial performance.

39. Improper storage, processing and handling of materials and products may cause damage to our inventory
leading to an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Our inventory primarily consists of materials and components used in our manufacturing operations, and
finished products. Our materials, manufacturing processes and finished products are susceptible to damage
or contamination if not appropriately stored, handled and processed, which may affect the quality of the
finished product. Although there have been no such material incidents that have occurred in the last three
Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, should such an incident happens in the future, we cannot
assure you that it will not result in the losses of inventory. In the event such damage or contamination is
detected at the manufacturing facility during quality checks, we may have to suspend manufacturing
activities, and lower capacity utilizations, which could materially and adversely affect our business prospects
and financial performance. Improper storage may also result in higher than usual damage to our inventory due
to adverse weather conditions or longer than usual storage periods, which may also require us to incur
additional expenses in replacing that portion of the inventory and/ or incur additional expenses in maintenance
and improvement of our storage infrastructure, which may adversely affect our profit margin.

40. We have in the past paid rent to certain Promoter Group individuals

We have in the past paid rent to Mr. Chimanlal Doshi and Ms. Rasila Doshi, members of our Promoter Group,
as per Ind AS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, for properties located at Mumbai and leased by us. The term
of the lease entered into with Mr. Chimanlal Doshi is for a period of 10 years commencing June 1, 2015 while
the term of the lease entered into with Ms. Rasila Doshi is for a period of 10 years commencing May 1, 2015.
The table below sets forth rent paid by us to such individuals as a percentage of our revenue from operations
for the year/period indicated:

We anticipate that we will continue to pay rent to such Promoter Group individuals in future. Further, there
cannot be any assurances that such leases will be renewed once they are expired. Any significant increase in
the amounts paid as rent to such Promoter Group individuals may have an adverse impact on our cash flows
and financial condition.

66
41. We may be subject to significant risks and hazards when operating and maintaining our manufacturing
facilities, for which our insurance coverage might not be adequate.

We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we consider adequate including insurance policy
covering fire, damage to buildings, plant and machinery, stocks (materials and finished products), vehicles,
and policy covering damage to stocks. We may not have identified every risk and further may not be insured
against every risk because such risks are either uninsurable or not insurable on commercially acceptable
terms, including operational risk that may occur and the occurrence of an event that causes losses in excess
of the limits specified in our policies, or losses arising from events or risks not covered by insurance policies
such as COVID-19 and other pandemics, or due to the same being inadequate, could materially harm our cash
flows, financial condition and future results of operations. We cannot provide any assurance that our
insurance will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which
we may be subject. In addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal
of our insurance coverage in the normal course of our business, but we cannot assure you that such renewals
will be granted in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all. While there has been no instance in the last
three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024 where any event occurred where we experienced losses
exceeding our insurance coverage, there is no assurance that such instance will not arise in the future. In
addition, we have submitted an insurance claim for losses as a result of a theft of raw material inventory at
our manufacturing facility at Chikhli, Gujarat in September 2022 by the employees of a sub-contractor
amounting to ₹ 105.80 million (net of recovery amounting to ₹ 51.96 million) as of June 30, 2024. As on the
date of this Red Herring Prospectus, survey and claim assessment is in process by the insurance company and
the claim amount has not been paid to us. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in receiving the
insurance claim.

The table below provides details of our insurance cover for the year/period indicated:

To the extent that we suffer loss or damage, or successful assertion of one or more large claims against us for
events for which we are not insured, or which exceeds our insurance coverage or where our insurance claims
are rejected, the loss would have to be borne by us and our results of operations, financial performance and
cash flows could be adversely affected. For further information on our insurance arrangements, see “Our
Business – Insurance” on page 259.

42. We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our financial statements, which if they
materialize, may adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

67
As at June 30, 2024, our contingent liabilities as per Ind AS 37 that have been disclosed in our Restated
Consolidated Summary Statements, were as follows:

Amount
Particulars
(₹ million)
Contingent liabilities not provided for:
Claims against the parent company not acknowledged as debts 99.69
Disputed statutory liability of parent Company 240.36
Guarantee/indemnity given by parent company to others 1,394.84

If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, cash
flows, financial condition and results of operations. For further information on contingent liabilities as per
Ind AS 37 as of June 30, 2024, see “Restated Consolidated Summary Statements – Annexure VI – Note 45
Contingent Liabilities, Contingent Assets and Capital Commitments” on page 407.

43. We and our Subsidiaries have availed of certain unsecured borrowings which are repayable on demand.

We had unsecured borrowings that include loans from related parties, loans from directors and inter-corporate
deposits. As of March 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024 and as of June 30, 2023 and 2024, such unsecured loans
amounted to ₹ 58.85 million, ₹ 58.76 million, ₹ 108.39 million, ₹ 11.56 million and ₹ 1.36 million,
respectively. As on June 30, 2024, our Subsidiaries have availed certain unsecured borrowings from third
parties in the form of inter-corporate deposits (“ICDs”) aggregating to nil, which in accordance with the terms
of such borrowings, are required to be repaid either on demand or as a bullet payment at the end of the term.
In addition, our Subsidiaries have availed loans amounting to ₹ 2,854.67 million from related parties and
from directors amounting to nil, as on June 30, 2024.

In the event the relevant lender demands repayment of the outstanding amount from our Subsidiaries, at any
time during the tenor of the ICDs, and if any of our Subsidiary is unable to repay such outstanding amount at
that point in time, the same shall constitute an event of default under the relevant borrowing arrangement and
may also trigger cross default clauses in other borrowing arrangements, which in turn may affect our
creditworthiness and future availability of financing.

For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 507.

44. There are outstanding material legal proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters and
Directors.

There are outstanding legal proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Promoters and Directors
which are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities.
Such proceedings could divert our management’s time and attention and consume financial resources in their
defence or prosecution. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent
ascertainable and quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and severally. Any unfavourable decision
in connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could materially adversely affect our
reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

and Promoters as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus is set out below:

Includes first information report registered against our Directors, Hitesh Chimanlal Doshi and Viren Chimanlal Doshi.
Note: As at June 30, 2024, our Company has considered ₹99.69 million, being the potential liabilities arising from its outstanding litigations
as contingent liability as per Ind AS 37 and has included such amounts in the schedule of contingent liabilities to the Restated Consolidated
Summary Statements. As at June 30, 2024, the total contingent liabilities of our Company was ₹1,734.89 million which was 3.88% of the net
worth of our Company as on that date.

As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there are no litigation involving the Group Companies which
may have a material impact on our business, and results of operations.

For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” at page 511.

45. Our Directors have been unable to locate specific records of their prior experience to supplement their past
experience and therefore we have been constrained to include limited disclosure for their respective
profiles in this Red Herring Prospectus.

Our Directors have been unable to trace records for a certain period of their prior experience. Accordingly,
we have been constrained to include limited disclosures in relation to their prior experience as part of their
profiles to the extent relevant documentation was available with them. For further details of their profiles, see
“Our Management- Board of Directors- Brief profiles of our Directors” on page 294.

46. Compliance with, and changes in, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or stringent
enforcement of existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in increased
liabilities and increased capital expenditures which may adversely affect our business, results of operations
and cash flows.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety and other regulatory and/or statutory
requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate and involve the use, handling, generation, processing,
storage, transportation, and disposal of certain materials during the manufacturing of our products. As we
introduce backward integration measures such as manufacturing solar cells and establish an integrated
manufacturing facility, even more stringent environmental, health and safety regulations will be applicable
to us at local, state, national, and international levels. We have to obtain certain environmental permits in
order to conduct our business. Some of the materials used in our manufacturing processes can generate
hazardous waste and improper handling of these materials can result in non-compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations, include those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water,
the use, management, and disposal of certain materials, the clean-up of work sites and occupational health
and safety. Improper handling of materials, if any, can contribute to air and water pollution and pose health
and environmental risks to our employees. As we execute our long-term strategic plans our environmental
compliance burden may continue to increase in terms of magnitude and complexity.

For further information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business, see “Government
and Other Approvals” on page 515. In addition, we have, and may need to in the future, apply for certain
additional approvals, including the renewal of approvals, which may expire from time to time. For details in
relation to validity of our licenses and registrations, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 515.
There is no assurance that such approvals and licenses will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or at all
or will not be withdrawn by the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew

69
such approvals and licenses in a timely manner or a withdrawal of any our licenses or registrations would
make our operations non-compliant with applicable laws and may result in imposition of penalties by relevant
authorities, and may also prevent us from carrying out our business operations, in turn affecting our prospects,
growth and results of operations.

47. The loss of accreditation for our manufacturing facilities and operations could damage our reputation,
business, results of operations and cash flows.

Our quality certifications and accreditations are critical for sales to our customers. Our laboratory is NABL
accredited, and we have also obtained various quality and process certifications including ISO 9001:2015,
ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. Our manufacturing facilities and operating process are also audited
by third party auditors. In the event we fail to comply with the requirement of undergoing third-party audits,
or fail our audits, we may be in breach of our arrangements with certain customers. In the event we are unable
to comply with the accreditation criteria or if such agencies find that we are not in compliance with the
standards and norms prescribed, our accreditation may be revoked or we may not be granted accreditation.
To ensure continued accreditation with such agencies, we must ensure consistency and maintain the quality
of our products and our manufacturing processes. If we lose one or more of our accreditations or certifications,
our reputation and business prospects may be adversely affected.

48. Inability to meet the quality standard norms prescribed by applicable regulatory authorities in the markets
we sell our products could result in the sales of our products being banned or suspended or becoming
subject to significant compliance costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and cash flows.

The quality of the products being manufactured by us is open to independent verification by various
regulatory authorities in the markets we sell our products. These regulatory authorities may carry out
inspection of our manufacturing facilities, stores, laboratory, equipment, machinery, manufacturing or other
processes and sample checks on any material or component in relation to our product at short notice or without
notice. Such regulatory authorities could impose fines or issue us show cause notices if the samples are not
in conformity with the prescribed quality norms. Although we have not faced any such significant issues in
the past, there can be no assurance that we will not be so penalised in the future. Failure on our part to adhere
to the quality norms prescribed by such regulatory authorities could lead to recall of our products or we may
be liable to pay a penalty. Any such adverse order could generate adverse publicity about us and our products,
which could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects and financial performance.

49. An inability to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals and permits required for our business operations
in a timely manner may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Majority of our revenue comes from our sale of solar PV modules. Our manufacturing business requires
various governmental approvals and may be subject to restrictions or regulations stipulated by the relevant
government authorities, which can vary from state to state.

For instance, in relation to our sale of services, particularly, EPC services, we may be required to obtain
certain regulatory approvals and permits in connection with our provision of these services. Some of these
approvals are granted for a limited duration. Some of these approvals have expired and we have made an
application for obtaining the approval for its renewal. For further details, see the section titled “Government
and Other Approvals” on page 515. Although we have not experienced any delays in the past in obtaining or
renewing such approvals and permits, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain or renew such
approvals in a timely manner, or at all, in the future. If we fail to obtain or renew such licenses, approvals,
registrations and permits in a timely manner, we may not be able to continue our manufacturing operations
and fulfil our contractual obligations in a timely manner, if at all, which could adversely affect our business
and results of operations. There may also be delays on the part of governmental authorities in reviewing
applications and granting approvals. Any delay or failure in the issuance of an approval essential to our
operations or the imposition of onerous conditions may impair our ability to meet contractual deadlines and
expose us to contractual liability for breach of contract.

Similarly, expansion of our manufacturing facilities and backward integration measures may require
obtaining additional licenses, permits and approvals from statutory bodies. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to obtain or renew such approvals in a timely manner, or at all. If we fail to obtain or renew such
licenses, approvals, registrations and permits in a timely manner, our commissioning date for our expansion

70
plans and backward integration plans may be delayed, which could adversely affect our business and results
of operations.

Furthermore, government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, including regular
monitoring and compliance requirements, some of which are onerous and require us to incur substantial
expenditure. We may incur substantial costs, including clean up and/or remediation costs, fines and civil or
criminal sanctions, as a result of violations of or liabilities under environmental or health and safety laws,
which may have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We cannot assure you that
approvals, licenses, registrations, consents and permits issued to us would not be suspended or revoked in the
event of non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or pursuant to any regulatory action.

50. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls and compliance system, our business
and reputation could be adversely affected.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size
and complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and
effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance
requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and update our internal processes and systems and
there have been no past material instances of failure to maintain effective internal controls and compliance
system. However, we are exposed to operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of
internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and
balances in all circumstances.

We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain
effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and
prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Maintaining such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses
in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses in judgment or failures that result from
human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of investor confidence and
a decline in the price of our equity shares. For example, there was a theft of raw material inventory at our
manufacturing facility at Chikhli, Gujarat in September 2022 by the employees of a sub-contractor amounting
to ₹ 105.80 million (net of recovery amounting to ₹ 51.96 million) as of June 30, 2024.

Further, our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws and regulations. These laws generally prohibit us
and our employees and intermediaries from bribing, being bribed or making other prohibited payments to
government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We
participate in collaborations and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to
liability under these laws or other local anti-corruption laws. While our code of conduct requires our
employees and intermediaries to comply with all applicable laws, and we continue to enhance our policies
and procedures in an effort to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations, these
measures may not prevent the breach of such anti-corruption laws, as there are risks of such breaches in
emerging markets, such as India, including within the solar energy industry. If we are not in compliance with
applicable anti-corruption laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other
sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could have an adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations
of anti-corruption laws by the relevant authorities could also have an adverse impact on our business and
reputation.

As we continue to grow, there can be no assurance that there will be no other instances of such inadvertent
non-compliances with statutory requirements, which may subject us to regulatory action, including monetary
penalties, which may adversely affect our business and reputation.

51. Some of our corporate records relating to changes in the share capital of our Company, allotments made
by our Company, and transfers and acquisitions of Equity Shares made by our Promoters, are not
traceable.

Our Company has not been able to trace certain corporate records such as RoC form filings and share transfer
forms. Information in relation to such changes in share capital, allotments, changes in registered office,
amendment to memorandum of association, appointment of directors, creation and modification of charge
and certain acquisitions and transfers made by our Promoters has been disclosed in the sections “History and

71
Certain Corporate Matters” and “Capital Structure” on pages 273 and 110, in this Red Herring Prospectus,
based on the statutory register of members, minutes of the meetings of our Board (to the extent available),
annual reports of our Company, bank and demat statements, depository instruction slips, and information
available with our Company. We have been unable to trace these documents despite commissioning a detailed
search (including online search) at the RoC through an independent practicing company secretary, Mr. Sushil
Pramod Talathi (“Practicing Company Secretary”), to trace records and filings available with the RoC and
reliance has been placed on the certificate dated September 24, 2021 read with reliance letter dated December
27, 2023 issued by the Practicing Company Secretary. Our Company by its letter dated September 24, 2024
has intimated the RoC of the missing/untraceable corporate records and form filings which were filed by our
Company with the RoC.

Further, we may not be able to furnish any further document evidencing the aforesaid details. We cannot
assure you that the abovementioned corporate records will be available in the future. Further, we cannot
assure you that our Company has filed such forms and filings in a timely manner or at all, in the past. Although
no regulatory action/ litigation is pending against us in relation to such untraceable secretarial and other
corporate records and documents and the amount of penalty is not likely to be material, we cannot assure you
that we will not be subject to penalties imposed by regulatory authorities in this respect.

52. Our Company has issued Equity Shares at a price that may be lower than the Offer Price in the last 12
months.

Equity Shares have been issued by us in the last 12 months should not be taken to be indicative of the Price
Band, Offer Price and the trading price of our Equity Shares after listing.

53. Our Company cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future.

Our Company has not declared dividends in the past three Fiscals and the three months ended June 30, 2024
and from July 1, 2024 until the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. Our ability to pay dividends in the future
will depend on a number of factors identified in the dividend policy of our Company, liquidity position,
profits, capital requirements, financial commitments and financial requirements including business expansion
plans, cost of borrowings, other corporate actions and other relevant or material factors considered relevant
by our Board, and external factors, such as the state of the economy and capital markets, applicable taxes,
regulatory changes and other relevant or material factors considered relevant by our Board. The declaration
and payment of dividends will be recommended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders,
at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law, including the
Companies Act 2013. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends in the future.

54. Our registered office, corporate office and some of our manufacturing facilities are located on leased
premises. There can be no assurance that such lease agreements will be renewed upon termination or that
we will be able to obtain other premises on lease on the same or similar commercial terms.

The premises upon which our registered office, corporate office and four out of five of our manufacturing
facilities located are not owned by us. We have leased the premises for our registered office and corporate
office which is valid until May 2025. Our four manufacturing facilities are located on leasehold land, out of
which the factory located at (i) Surat is on long-term sub-lease basis by the end of July 2085; (ii) Tumb is on
a long term lease till July 1, 2027; (iii) Nandigram is on a long term lease till July 14, 2028; and (iv) Indosolar
Facility for 90 years with effect from November 21, 2005. Further, we have leased an administrative office
in Mumbai on long term lease for five years with effect from December 15, 2023. In the event of any
termination or expiry of such lease agreements, we may be required to relocate our operations to other
premises during which time our Company may incur the expenses such as (a) transportation and relocation
of plant and machinery; (b) setting up of utilities and infrastructure; (c) civil and engineering works; and (d)
other miscellaneous expenses. The exact financial impact of such relocation cannot be ascertained at this
stage. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain and renew the lease on the same or similar
terms, or find alternate locations on similar terms, or at all. Further, the land on which our proposed Project
will be located has been allotted to our Company on a long-term leasehold basis by IDCO, which our
Company shall sub-lease to the Project Company. While we have made full payments for such land and have

73
entered into a formal lease agreement in relation to such land acquisition, the sub-lease to our Subsidiary is
not yet completed. Also see “- We intend to utilise a major portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital
expenditure requirements. This includes part financing the cost of establishing the proposed fully integrated
6 GW facility by way of an investment in our wholly owned subsidiary Sangam Solar One Private Limited
which may be subject to the risk of unanticipated delays in implementation, cost overruns and other risks and
uncertainties.” on page 37.

55. The land on which our Chikhli facility in Gujarat is located was acquired from SGP Industrial
Infrastructure Private Limited (formerly, Waaree Renewables Private Limited), an erstwhile Group
Company.

The parcel of land located at Plot Number 1, Village Degam, Taluka Chikhli, District Navasari, Gujarat on
which on Chikhli facility was located, was originally acquired from SGP Industrial Infrastructure Private
Limited (formerly, Waaree Renewables Private Limited), Group Company (“SGP”). The plots of land
comprising land was acquired by SGP between November 25, 2020 and November 27, 2020 and we
subsequently acquired the land from SGP between July 6, 2021 and July 22, 2021 for an aggregate
consideration of ₹ 1,247.95 million. For the acquisition of the land, we had undertaken a valuation of the
adjoining land parcel through two independent valuers, who had issued independent valuation reports, dated
July 1, 2021 and July 2, 2021, respectively (“Valuation Reports”) and the aggregate consideration was
consistent with such valuation reports. Further, prior to acquiring the land, SGP undertook a title search which
was relied on by our Company to ascertain the clear title of the land. Furthermore, our Company and SGP
have subsequently entered into seven sale deeds in April 2022 and February 2023 for the purchase, transfer
and assignment of a parcel of land situated in Chikhli, Gujarat from SGP to the Company for an aggregate
consideration of ₹1,220.51 million.

For details of SGP and interest of our Promoters in SGP, see “Group Companies” on page 518.

56. Our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant influence over our Company

58. Industry information included in this Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from an industry report
commissioned by us, and paid for by us for such purpose.

74
We have used the report titled “Solar power market in India” dated October, 2024 by CRISIL appointed on
June 13, 2023 for purposes of inclusion of such information in this Red Herring Prospectus, and exclusively
commissioned by our Company for purposes of inclusion of such information in the Offer Documents at an
agreed fees to be paid by our Company. Our Company, our Promoters, and our Directors are not related to
CRISIL. Given the scope and extent of the CRISIL Report, disclosures are limited to certain excerpts and the
CRISIL Report has not been reproduced in its entirety in this Red Herring Prospectus. There are no parts,
data or information (which may be relevant for the proposed issue), that has been materially left out or
changed in any manner. The report is a paid report, and is subject to various limitations and based upon certain
assumptions that are subjective in nature. Also see, “Certain Conventions, Presentation of Financial, Industry
and Market Data – Industry and Market Data” on page 17.

59. Any unscheduled or prolonged disruption of our manufacturing operations could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Any unscheduled or prolonged disruption of our manufacturing operations, including power failure,
interrupted water supply, fire and unexpected mechanical failure of equipment, obsolescence, labour disputes,
strikes, lock-outs, earthquakes and other natural disasters, industrial accidents or any significant social,
political or economic disturbances, or infectious disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could
reduce our ability to manufacture our products and adversely affect sales and revenues from operations in
such period. The occurrence of any such incidents could also result in a destruction of certain assets, and
adversely affect our results of operations. Any such disruption may interrupt our operations, which may
interfere with manufacturing process, requiring us to either stop our operations or repeat activities that may
involve additional time and increase our costs. Our customers rely on the timely delivery of our products.
Although we take precautions to minimize the risk of any significant operational problems at our
manufacturing facilities, our customer relationships, business, financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows, may be adversely affected by any disruption of operations at our manufacturing facilities,
including due to any of the factors mentioned above. Further, while we have not encountered any past
instances of manufacturing disruptions due to contraventions of any regulatory approvals in the last three
years and three months ended June 30, 2024, we cannot assure you that this will be the case in the future.

Disruptions in our manufacturing operations could delay production or require us to temporarily cease
operations at our manufacturing facilities. We may be subject to manufacturing disruptions due to
contraventions by us of any of the conditions of our regulatory approvals, which may require our
manufacturing facilities to cease, or limit, production until the disputes concerning such approvals are
resolved. As regulatory approvals are site specific, we may be unable to transfer manufacturing activities to
another location immediately. Similarly, there is no assurance that those of our manufacturing facilities
unaffected by an interruption will have the capacity to increase their output to manufacture products for the
affected manufacturing facilities, to the extent that all outstanding orders will be fulfilled in a timely manner.
In the event of prolonged interruptions in the operations of our manufacturing facilities, we may have to make
alternate arrangements for supplies and products in order to meet our production requirements, which could
affect our profitability.

60. We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages or increased labour costs, which could adversely affect
our business, cash flows and results of operations.

The success of our operations depends on availability of labour and maintaining a good relationship with our
workforce. As of June 30, 2024, we employed 1,752 employees across our various manufacturing facilities
and offices. In addition, we also employ contract labourers for conducting various activities at our
manufacturing facilities. As of June 30, 2024, we had engaged 7,773 contract labour. While our employees
are not unionised into any labour or workers’ unions and have not experienced any major work stoppages due
to labour disputes or cessation of work in the last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, there
can be no assurance that we will not experience any such disruption in the future as a result of disputes or
disagreements with our work force, which may adversely affect our ability to continue our business
operations. We may also have to incur additional expense to train and retain skilled labour. There can be no
assurance that we will not experience labour unrest in the future, which may delay or disrupt our operations.
Any labour unrest including labour disputes, strikes and lock-outs, industrial accidents, experienced by us
could directly or indirectly prevent or hinder our normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely
manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations. In the event of any prolonged delay or disruption our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

75
61. We import machinery from foreign countries and the same is subject to certain risks which may adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We import machinery from foreign countries to support our operations. However, importing machinery
entails several risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. For example, changes in government policies or trade agreements could lead to
increased tariffs or import restrictions, resulting in higher costs or difficulties in importing machinery which
could lead to a delay in our operations, impact our production schedules and overall business operations.
Furthermore, political, economic, or logistical disruptions in the country of origin could also lead to delays
in delivery, interruptions in the supply chain, or challenges in obtaining technical support which could impact
our production schedules or result in a loss of business opportunities. Any of these risks could disrupt our
operations, and ultimately, adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.

62. Damage to and/or malfunction of any of our operating systems or cyber security risks could disrupt our
operations and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We rely on our information technology systems for our operations and on their reliability and functionality
for our business success. Its reliability and functionality can be affected by a number of factors, including,
but not limited to, the increasing complexity of the IT systems, frequent change and short life span due to
technological advancements and data security. If our IT systems malfunction or experience extended periods
of downtime, we may not be able to run our operations safely or efficiently. We are subject to cyber security
risks and may incur costs to minimize those risks.

Further, any damage or system failure that causes interruptions or delays in the input, retrieval or transmission
of data could disrupt our normal operations and possibly interfere with our ability to undertake manufacturing
of our products and projects pursuant to the requirements of our contracts. Although no such incidents have
occurred in the last three Fiscals and three months ended June 30, 2024, should such an interruption or delay
occur, we can neither assure you that it will not result in the loss of data or information that is important to
our business nor that we will be able to restore our operational capacity within a sufficiently adequate time-
frame to avoid disruptions to our business. If our systems malfunction or experience extended periods of
downtime, we will not be able to run our operations safely or efficiently. We may suffer losses in revenue,
reputation, volume of business, and our business, financial condition and results of operation may be
materially and adversely affected.

63. An inability to provide adequate customer support and ancillary services may adversely affect our
relationship with our existing and prospective customers, and in turn our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.

Our customers depend on customer support and ancillary services, which in some cases may be provided by
third-party partners such as our franchisees, to resolve technical and operational issues in a timely manner.
We and our franchisees may be unable to timely respond to accommodate short-term increases in demand for
our products or associated customer support including maintenance. We also may be unable to modify the
nature, scope and delivery of such services to compete with support services provided by our competitors.
Increased operational requests, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition. Our sales are dependent on our reputation and on positive
recommendations from our existing customers. Any failure to maintain adequate and timely customer support
and ancillary services, or a market perception that we are unable to do so, could adversely affect our business
prospects and financial performance.

64. While our business is not seasonal, however, our business prospects and future financial performance
depend on the demand for solar power products. Any decrease in demand for such products could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

While our business is not seasonal, however, our business prospects and future financial performance depend
on the growth of the solar and renewable power industry in India as well as globally. While we anticipate that
the solar industry has a favourable outlook, we cannot assure you that this will be the case in the future and
any decrease in preference for solar energy will result in a drop in demand for our products. If the demand
for domestic PV modules does not increase, our business, results of operations, financial condition and
prospects may be adversely impacted.

76
Additionally, demand for solar products can be difficult to predict as it relies on a number of factors, such as
the energy supply, demand and prices for renewable energies and government tenders. There can be no
assurance that solar power products and related technologies will continue to be preferred over other
alternative renewable energy sources, such as wind energy and hydro energy.

For further information on the cost effectiveness, performance and reliability of, and preference and tariffs
for solar energy projects compared to conventional and other renewable energy sources, see “Industry
Overview” on page 169. The demand for solar products and related technologies may not grow at the rate we
anticipate and may not grow at all. If demand for solar solutions and relevant technologies weaken, our
productivity, business prospects and future financial performance would be adversely affected.

65. An inability to produce quality products that address customer needs or adopt new solar technologies and
in an effective and timely manner may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business depends on our ability to adopt new solar technologies, develop products that address customer
needs and deliver quality products to our customers. We may be required to make significant capital
investment to adopt evolving technologies for our products. Our competitors may develop production
technologies that enable them to produce solar cells and solar modules with higher conversion efficiencies at
a lower cost than our current and proposed products. Technologies developed or adopted by others for related
solar products may prove more advantageous than ours for commercialization and may render our products
obsolete or unable to compete with such products of competitors. As a result, we may need to make significant
capital investment to maintain our market position, and effectively compete in the future.

We may experience difficulties with the quality of our products, or introduction of new products. An inability
to further refine and enhance our products to adapt to or keep pace with evolving technologies and industry
standards could cause our products to become uncompetitive or obsolete. In addition, there is no assurance
that our new products will be successful in gaining market acceptance. If our products do not deliver reliable
results, or if we fail to introduce products that meet customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective
manner, we may fail to retain our existing customers and increase demand for our products. The development
of new solar products may require substantial investment, and we have no assurance that such investment
will be successful. We make incremental investments to adapt evolving technologies to both existing
equipment as well as planned capacity expansion. If customers do not widely adopt our products, we may not
be able to realize a return on our investment and our business prospects and financial condition performance
may be adversely impacted.

In addition, the cost of upgrading our manufacturing capacities or implementing new technologies, replacing
existing equipment or expanding our manufacturing capacity to accommodate technology advancements in
the manufacture of PV modules, solar cells or ingot-wafers could be significant, and may adversely affect our
financial performance if we are unable to pass on such costs to our customers. Failure to respond to current
and future technological changes in an effective and timely manner may adversely affect our business
prospects and financial performance.

66. Our business is dependent on the regulatory and policy environment affecting the renewable energy sector
in India.

The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Our business
and operations are governed by various laws and regulations, including the Electricity Act, 2003, National
Electricity Policy, 2005, Integrated Energy Policy, 2006 and National Tariff Policy, 2016, environmental and
labour laws and other legislations enacted by the GoI and the relevant state governments in India. For
example, due to exigencies caused by COVID-19, our Company was unable to renew the certificate in relation
to the requisite fire safety measures adopted at our manufacturing facility located at Tumb, Valsad (“Fire
NOC”), which has subsequently become mandatory for all factories located in the state of Gujarat. However,
there is no clarity as to the ‘competent authority’ for issuance of a Fire NoC. For further details, see
“Government and Other Approvals – Material Approvals for which application has been filed by our
Company” on page 516.

On June 12, 2024, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy introduced the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission Renewable Energy Tariff Regulations, 2024 prescribing project specific regulatory approvals
towards only those solar PV power projects which comply with a minimum capacity utilisation factor of 21%

77
and maximum auxiliary consumption of 0.75%. We cannot assure you that we will be in compliance with
such requirements in the future.

Further, our business is dependent in part on GoI and state government policies that support renewable energy,
particularly solar energy, and enhance the economic feasibility of developing solar energy projects. The GoI
and several of state governments in India provide incentives that support the generation and sale of solar
energy, and additional legislation is regularly being considered that could enhance the demand for solar
energy and obligations to use renewable energy sources. On November 11, 2020, the government introduced
the production linked incentive (“PLI”) scheme for 10 key sectors to enhance India’s manufacturing
capabilities and exports under its Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 125) One of
the 10 sectors for which PLI was approved is high-efficiency solar PV modules, for which, the MNRE has
been designated as the implementing ministry. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 125)

We benefit from a number of government and other incentives in relation to renewable power generation and
transmission. Some of the key incentives that benefit the solar energy industry in India, and consequently our
business, include preferential tariffs for solar power assets under long-term power purchase agreements;
preferential charges on transmission, wheeling and banking facilities. PLI scheme for high-efficiency solar
PV modules; tax incentives; and availability of accelerated depreciation for solar power assets.

Any change in policy that results in the curtailment of renewable energy generation may have an adverse
effect on our business. If government authorities do not continue supporting, or reduce or eliminate their
support for, the development of solar energy projects and products, financing costs for solar projects may
increase. These may, in turn, have a material and adverse effect on business prospects for solar modules, and
consequently our financial performance.

67. We face intense competition in our markets, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources to
maintain or improve our competitive position.

We face intense competition from other Indian module manufacturers as well as module manufacturers from
China and South East Asia for domestic demand, while our export sales face competition from a wide range
of global module manufacturers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adapt to new technology
or maintain the quality standards of our manufacturing facilities and testing laboratories. Some of our key
competitors across our business verticals include Vikram Solar Limited, Adani Mundra Solar PV Limited
(Adani), Premier Energies Limited, RenewSys India Private Limited, Emmvee Photovoltaic Power Private
Limited and Alpex Solar Private Limited. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 176)

Over the past decade, there has been a significant geographical transformation in solar PV manufacturing
capacity and production. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 156) To reach out to the end users such as residential,
commercial, and industrial consumers, various module manufacturers have their distributor network or have
appointed franchisees. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) Retail consumers are relatively price-sensitive
when it comes to solar installations due to smaller project sizes, expected shorter payback period and more
competition. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175)

Availability of local contact is very important for these consumers while accepting the solar products. (Source:
CRISIL Report, page 175) With increased awareness, more and more consumers are showing interest in solar
installations. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) The distribution channel partner helps in reaching out to
consumers as well as for informing them about the new technology. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) Due
to diverse geographical presence, local support and to build customer relationship, a strong distribution
network become essential. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) Further, our competitors may also enter into
the United States by establishing new manufacturing facilities which may impact our advantage of being
present in the United States.

Further, the end user generally does not have technical knowledge of complex products such as modules and
hence have very little say in selection. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) However, through a known partner,
the consumers can be convinced to a large extent and such network can be utilized for enhancing the consumer
reach. (Source: CRISIL Report, page 175) Increased competition may result in price reduction, reduced
margins and a loss of our market share, any of which may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and prospects.

External Risk Factors

78
68. Recent global economic conditions have been challenging and continue to affect the Indian market, which
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

The Indian economy and its securities markets are influenced by economic developments and volatility in
securities markets in other countries. Investors’ reactions to developments in one country may have adverse
effects on the market price of securities of companies located in other countries, including India. Negative
economic developments, such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, or a default on national debt, in other emerging
market countries may also affect investor confidence and cause increased volatility in Indian securities
markets and indirectly affect the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also
have a negative impact on the Indian economy, including the movement of exchange rates and interest rates
in India and could then adversely affect our business, financial performance and the price of our Equity
Shares.

Any other global economic developments or the perception that any of them could occur may continue to
have an adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may
significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in
certain financial markets. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to
capital, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash
flows, prospects and reduce the price of our equity shares.

In particular, the demand for solar power products is influenced by macroeconomic factors, such as the
demand and supply and price of other competitive energy products, as well as government policies and
regulations concerning the solar power industry. The policies and regulations of the government have been
very dynamic in the past and hence affect our operations and business. The price of solar power systems and
modules are highly volatile and inconsistent in its trends and requires easy availability of low-cost credit for
the end consumers. Any financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial
performance, shareholders’ equity and the price of our Equity Shares.

69. Natural and catastrophic events may reduce energy production below our expectations.

Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding, and/or earthquakes), epidemics, pandemics such as COVID-
19, and man-made disasters, including acts of war, terrorist attacks, and other events, many of which are
beyond our control, may lead to economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Developments in the ongoing
conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel and Hamas have resulted in and may continue to result in
a period of sustained instability across global financial markets, induce volatility in commodity prices,
adversely impact availability of natural gas, increase in supply chain, logistics times and costs, increase
borrowing costs, cause outflow of capital from emerging markets and may lead to overall slowdown in
economic activity in India. Our operations may be adversely affected by fires, natural disasters, and/or severe
weather, which can result in damage to our property or inventory and generally reduce our productivity, and
may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations. Any terrorist attacks or civil unrest as well as
other adverse social, economic, and political events in India could have a negative effect on us. Such incidents
could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk
and could have an adverse effect on our business and the price of the Equity Shares. A number of countries
in Asia, including India, as well as countries in other parts of the world, are susceptible to contagious diseases
and, for example, have had confirmed cases of diseases such as the highly pathogenic H7N9, H5N1, and
H1N1 strains of influenza in birds and swine and more recently, the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the monkeypox
virus. Another outbreak of any new variant of COVID-19 pandemic such as the new JN.1 variant or future
outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 virus or a similar contagious disease could adversely affect the global economy
and economic activity in the region.

Due to nationwide lockdowns, we ceased manufacturing operations for several weeks in April and May of
2020; temporarily affecting our ability to source materials from certain vendors who were unable to transport
materials to us; and significant increase in our raw materials cost as a result of freight costs. As a result, any
present or future outbreak of a contagious disease could have an adverse effect on our business and the trading
price of the Equity Shares.

70. Any downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by an international rating agency could have a negative
impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

79
Our borrowing costs and our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the credit ratings of
India. Any adverse revisions to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international
rating agencies may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other
commercial terms at which such funding is available. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund
our growth on favourable terms and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance
and the price of the Equity Shares.

71. Changing laws, rules or regulations and legal uncertainties including taxation laws, or their
interpretation, such changes may significantly affect our financial statements.

The regulatory environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. Governmental and
regulatory bodies in India and other countries may enact new regulations or policies, which may require us
to obtain approvals and licenses from applicable governments and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous
requirements and conditions on our operations, in addition to those which we are in the process of obtaining.
New compliance requirements could increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business, prospects,
financial condition and results of operations. Further, the manner in which new requirements will be enforced
or interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our operations and could adversely affect our operations.
Accordingly, any adverse regulatory change in this regard could lead to fluctuation of prices of raw materials
and thereby increase our operational cost. For information on the laws applicable to us, see “Key Regulations
and Policies” on page 264.

The Income Tax Act, 1961 (“IT Act”) was amended to provide domestic companies an option to pay
corporate income tax at the effective rate of approximately 25.17% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and
health and education cess), as compared to effective rate of 34.94% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and
health and education cess), provided such companies do not claim certain specified deductions or exemptions.
Further, where a company has opted to pay the reduced corporate tax rate, the minimum alternate tax
provisions would not be applicable. Any such future amendments may affect our ability to claim exemptions
that we have historically benefited from, and such exemptions may no longer be available to us. Any adverse
order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would have an effect on our profitability.

Further, with the implementation of GST, we are obligated to pass on any benefits accruing to us as result of
the transition to GST to the consumer thereby limiting our benefits. In order for us to utilise input credit under
GST, the entire value chain has to be GST compliant, including us. While we are and will continue to adhere
to the GST rules and regulations, there can be no assurance that our suppliers and dealers will do so. Any
such failure may result in increased cost on account of non-compliance with the GST and may adversely
affect our business and results of operations.

Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”),
in the hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and health and
education cess). Such dividends were generally exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However,
the GoI has amended the IT Act to abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distributed by a
domestic company is subject to tax in the hands of the investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, the
Company is required to withhold tax on such dividends distributed at the applicable rate.

Further, the GoI has announced the full union budget for the financial year 2024-2025 and has enacted the
Finance Act (No.2), 2024. While the Finance Act (No.1), 2024 that was announced pursuant to the interim
union budget for Fiscal 2025 did not propose any significant changes to the IT Act, Finance Act (No. 2), 2024
inter alia increased the rate of taxation of short term capital gains and long-term capital gains arising from
transfer of an equity share . We have not fully determined the impact of these recent laws and regulations on
our business. There is no certainty on the impact of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024 on tax laws or other
regulations, which may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
or on the industry in which we operate. . Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to
carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares.
Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in,
governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative
or judicial precedent, may be time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability
of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in the future.

Similarly, changes in other laws may require additional compliances and/or result in us incurring additional

80
expenditure. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new
requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to
comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

72. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our services at a proportional
rate thereby reducing our margins.

Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India
has experienced high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest
rates and increased costs to our business, including increased costs of transportation, wages, raw materials
and other expenses relevant to our business.

High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or control our
costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to adequately
pass on to our customers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business and financial
condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or entirely offset any increases in costs with
increases in prices for our products. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition may be adversely affected.

Further, the Government has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is
unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels
will not worsen in the future.

73. We may be affected by competition laws, the adverse application or interpretation of which could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.

The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an
appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition
Act, any formal or informal arrangement, understanding, or action in concert, which causes or is likely to
cause an AAEC is considered void and may result in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any
agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the determination of purchase or sale
prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment, or the provision of
services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by
way of allocation of geographical area or number of customers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly
results in bid-rigging or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The
Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a dominant position by any enterprise. On March 4, 2011, the
Government notified and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the
Competition Act with effect from June 1, 2011. These provisions require acquisitions of shares, voting rights,
assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based thresholds
to be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”).
Additionally, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued Competition Commission of India (Procedure for Transaction
of Business Relating to Combinations) Regulations, 2011, as amended, which sets out the mechanism for
implementation of the merger control regime in India.

The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) amended the Competition Act
and gave the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition and the interests of consumers.
The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to determine AAEC,
reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI and empowers the CCI to impose
penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominant
position.

The Competition Act aims to, among others, prohibit all agreements and transactions which may have an
AAEC in India. Consequently, all agreements entered by us could be within the purview of the Competition
Act. Further, the CCI has extraterritorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct, or
combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct, or combination has an AAEC in India.
However, the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered by us cannot be
predicted with certainty at this stage. However, since we pursue an acquisition driven growth strategy, we
may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation of any provision of the Competition
Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due

81
to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied under the
Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects.

Risks Relating to the Equity Shares and this Offer

74. The Offer Price, market capitalization to revenue multiple and price to earnings ratio based on the Offer
Price of our Company, may not be indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.

Our revenue from operations and EBITDA for Fiscal 2024 was ₹ 113,976.09 million and ₹ 18,095.77 million
and our market capitalization to revenue from operations (Fiscal 2024) multiple is [●] times and our price to
earnings ratio (based on Fiscal 2024) is [●] at the upper end of the price band. The Offer Price of the Equity
Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares
offered through a book-building process, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out in the
section titled “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 150 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be
indicative of the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.

Accordingly, any valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company would not be
based on a benchmark with our industry peers. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price
Band would be determined, shall be disclosed in the advertisement that would be issued for publication of
the Price Band.

The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other
factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in,
developments relating to India, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic
alliances, our competitors launching new products or superior products, announcements by third parties or
governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in
India and other jurisdictions, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or
earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.

75. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like
Additional Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock
Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.

SEBI and the Stock Exchanges, in the past, have introduced various pre-emptive surveillance measures with
respect to the shares of listed companies in India (the “Listed Securities”) in order to enhance market
integrity, safeguard the interests of investors and potential market abuses. In addition to various surveillance
measures already implemented, and in order to further safeguard the interest of investors, the SEBI and the
Stock Exchanges have introduced additional surveillance measures ("ASM”) and graded surveillance
measures ("GSM”).
ASM is conducted by the Stock Exchanges on Listed Securities with surveillance concerns based on certain
objective parameters such as share price, price-to-earnings ratio, percentage of delivery, client concentration,
variation in volume of shares and volatility of shares, among other things. GSM is conducted by the Stock
Exchanges on Listed Securities where their price quoted on the Stock Exchanges is not commensurate with,
among other things, the financial performance and financial condition measures such as earnings, book value,
fixed assets, net-worth, other measures such as price-to-earnings multiple and market capitalization and
overall financial position of the concerned listed company, the Listed Securities of which are subject to GSM.
For further details in relation to the ASM and GSM Surveillance Measures, including criteria for shortlisting
and review of Listed Securities, exemptions from shortlisting and frequently asked questions (FAQs), among
other details, refer to the websites of the NSE and the BSE.
Upon listing, the trading of our Equity Shares would be subject to differing market conditions as well as other
factors which may result in high volatility in price, and low trading volumes as a percentage of combined
trading volume of our Equity Shares. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors or other
circumstances may trigger any of the parameters prescribed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing
our securities under the GSM and/or ASM framework or any other surveillance measures, which could result
in significant restrictions on trading of our Equity Shares being imposed by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges.
These restrictions may include requiring higher margin requirements, requirement of settlement on a trade
for trade basis without netting off, limiting trading frequency, reduction of applicable price band, requirement
of settlement on gross basis or freezing of price on upper side of trading, as well as mentioning of our Equity
Shares on the surveillance dashboards of the Stock Exchanges. The imposition of these restrictions and curbs

82
on trading may have an adverse effect on market price, trading and liquidity of our Equity Shares and on the
reputation and conditions of our Company. Any such instance may result in a loss of our reputation and
diversion of our management’s attention and may also decrease the market price of our Equity Shares which
could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

76. If our Company does not receive the minimum subscription of 90% of the Fresh Issue, the Offer may fail.

In the event our Company does not receive (i) a minimum subscription of 90% of the Fresh Issue, and (ii) a
subscription in the Offer as specified under Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR, including through devolvement of
Underwriters, as applicable, within sixty (60) days from the date of Bid/ Offer Closing Date, or if the
subscription level falls below the thresholds mentioned above after the Bid/ Offer Closing Date, on account
of withdrawal of applications or after technical rejections or any other reason, or if the listing or trading
permission is not obtained from the Stock Exchanges for the Equity Shares being offered under the Red
Herring Prospectus, our Company shall forthwith refund the entire subscription amount received in
accordance with applicable law including the SEBI circular bearing no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2021/2480/1/M dated March 16, 2021 and SEBI master circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD-2/P/CIR/2023/00094 dated June 21, 2023. If there is a delay beyond four days, our
Company and every Director of our Company who is an officer in default, to the extent applicable, shall pay
interest as prescribed under applicable law.

77. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.

Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the
validity of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under
Indian law, including in relation to class actions, may not be as extensive and wide-spread as shareholders’
rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights
as shareholder in an Indian company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.

78. Investors may not be able to enforce a judgment of a foreign court against us, our Directors, and executive
officers in India respectively, except by way of a law suit in India.

We are incorporated under the laws of India and all of our Directors, Key Management Personnel and Senior
Management Personnel reside in India. A substantial portion of our assets are also located in India. Where
investors wish to enforce foreign judgments in India, they may face difficulties in enforcing such judgments.
India exercises reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters with a
limited number of jurisdictions. In order to be enforceable, a judgment obtained in a jurisdiction which India
recognises as a reciprocating territory must meet certain requirements of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 (the
“CPC”).

India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign
judgments. Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Section 13, 14 and
Section 44A of the CPC on a statutory basis. Section 44A of the CPC provides that where a certified copy of
a decree of any superior court, within the meaning of that Section, obtained in any country or territory outside
India which the government has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory, may be enforced
in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgment had been rendered by a district court in India.
However, Section 44A of the CPC is applicable only to monetary decrees and does not apply to decrees for
amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or other penalties
and does not apply to arbitration awards (even if such awards are enforceable as a decree or judgment).

Among other jurisdictions, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong have been
declared by the government to be reciprocating territories for the purposes of Section 44A of the CPC. The
United States has not been declared by the GoI to be a reciprocating territory for the purposes of Section 44A
of the CPC. A judgment of a court of a country which is not a reciprocating territory may be enforced in India
only by a suit upon the judgment under Section 13 of the CPC, and not by proceedings in execution. Section
13 of the CPC provides that foreign judgments shall be conclusive regarding any matter directly adjudicated
upon except: (i) where the judgment has not been pronounced by a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) where

83
the judgment has not been given on the merits of the case; (iii) where it appears on the face of the proceedings
that the judgment is founded on an incorrect view of international law or refusal to recognize the law of India
in cases to which such law is applicable; (iv) where the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were
opposed to natural justice; (v) where the judgment has been obtained by fraud; and/ or (vi) where the judgment
sustains a claim founded on a breach of any law then in force in India. The suit must be brought in India
within three years from the date of judgment in the same manner as any other suit filed to enforce a civil
liability in India.

It cannot be assured that a court in India would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an
action were brought in India. Furthermore, it is unlikely that an Indian court will enforce foreign judgments
if it views the amount of damages awarded as excessive or inconsistent with Indian practice. A party seeking
to enforce a foreign judgment in India is required to obtain prior approval from the RBI to repatriate any
amount recovered pursuant to the execution of such foreign judgment.

79. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity
shares in an Indian company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied on
and collected by an Indian stock exchange on which equity shares are sold. You may be subject to payment
of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares held
for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the
Equity Shares are sold. Further, any capital gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares held for a period of
12 months or less will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India. While non-residents may claim tax
treaty benefits in relation to such capital gains income, generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s right
to impose tax on capital gains arising from the sale of shares of an Indian company. While non-residents may
claim tax treaty benefits in relation to such capital gains income, generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit
India’s right to impose tax on capital gains arising from the sale of shares of an Indian company.

The Finance Act, 2020 had stipulated that the sale, transfer and issue of certain securities through exchanges,
depositories or otherwise to be charged with stamp duty. The Finance Act, 2020 also clarified that, in the
absence of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of certain
securities through stock exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration
through a depository, the onus will be on the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of certain securities, other
than debentures, on a delivery basis is currently specified under the Finance Act, 2020 at 0.015% and on a
non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. These amendments have come into
effect from July 1, 2020. Under the extant provisions, any dividend distributed by a domestic company is
subject to tax in the hands of the concerned shareholder at the applicable rates. Additionally, the company
distributing dividends is required to withhold tax on such payments at the applicable rate. However, non-
resident shareholders may claim benefit of the applicable tax treaty, subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions.

Taxes payable by an assessee on the capital gains arising from transfer of long-term capital assets on or after
July 23, 2024, shall be calculated at the rate of 12.5% on such long-term capital gains, where the long-term
capital gains exceed ₹ 125,000 (this exemption shall be available only where the shares are sold on a Stock
Exchange), subject to certain exceptions in case of resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Families.
Further, the short-term capital gains on transfer of listed shares shall be taxed at 20% where the shares are
sold on Stock Exchange and at applicable rates if otherwise (30% in case of foreign institutional investors).

Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences
of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares. Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing,
or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws
governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws
and may require us to apply for additional approvals.

80. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse
effect on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in
respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant
foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the

84
time taken for such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse
movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares
outside India, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of
Equity Shares may reduce the proceeds received by Shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between
the Indian Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate
substantially in the future, which may have an adverse effect on the returns on our Equity Shares, independent
of our operating results.

81. Our Company’s Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and may experience price and volume
fluctuations following the completion of the Offer, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not
develop, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile may not be indicative of the market price of the
Equity Shares after the Offer and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer
Price or at all.

Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may
not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market for our
Equity Shares will develop or, if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Offer
Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined through a book building process. This price will be
based on numerous factors, as described in the section “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 150. This price
may not necessarily be indicative of the market price of our Equity Shares after the Offer is completed. You
may not be able to re-sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer price and may as a result lose all or part
of your investment.
Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on the NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance
that active trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer, or if such trading develops that it will
continue. Investors may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there is no active trading
in our Equity Shares.

There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of
our Equity Shares after this Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various
internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Red Herring Prospectus.

The initial public offering price will be determined by the Book Building Process and may not be indicative
of prices that will prevail in the open market following the Offer. The market price of our Equity Shares may
be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

• the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after this Offer, or changes in the estimates of
our performance by analysts;
• the activities of competitors and suppliers;
• future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our shareholders;
• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;
• developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations;
• the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports; and
• general economic conditions.

A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
As a result of these factors, investors may not be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the initial public
offering price. In addition, the stock market often experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated
or disproportionate to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations
and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our
Company’s performance. There can be no assurance that the investor will be able to resell their Equity Shares
at or above the Offer Price.

82. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they
purchase in the Offer.

The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions
must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence.
Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are expected to be credited
within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the Stock Exchanges.

85
The Allotment of Equity Shares in the Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat
account with depository participant could take approximately two Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing
Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the Stock
Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date. There could
be a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining
the approval or otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose
of their Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat
accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk
factor. We could also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders
are not dispatched or demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time periods.

83. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute your shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by the
Promoter may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

We may be required to finance our growth, whether organic or inorganic, through future equity offerings.
Any future equity issuances by us, including a primary offering, may lead to the dilution of investors’
shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us (including under an employee benefit
scheme) or disposal of our Equity Shares by the Promoters or any of our other principal shareholders or any
other change in our shareholding structure to comply with minimum public shareholding norms applicable to
listed companies in India or any public perception regarding such issuance or sales may adversely affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty in
raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. There can be no assurance
that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that our existing shareholders including our Promoters will not
dispose of further Equity Shares after the completion of the Offer (subject to compliance with the lock-in
provisions under the SEBI ICDR Regulations) or pledge or encumber their Equity Shares. Any future
issuances could also dilute the value of shareholder’s investment in the Equity Shares and adversely affect
the trading price of our Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the Offer Price. We
may also issue convertible debt securities to finance our future growth or fund our business activities. In
addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur may also affect the market price
of our Equity Shares.

84. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract
foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if
they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of
shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting
requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior regulatory approval will be
required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the
Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to
follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The RBI and the concerned
ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign investment. Additionally,
shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and
repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian
income tax authorities.

In addition, pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which
has been incorporated as the proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Rules, investments where the beneficial owner
of the Equity Shares is situated in or is a citizen of a country which shares land border with India, can only
be made through the Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated October
15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other
governmental agency can be obtained with or without any particular terms or conditions or at all.

We cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can
be obtained on any particular terms or at all. For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership
of Indian Securities” on page 577.

86
85. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and
IFRS, which investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our
financial condition.

Our Restated Consolidated Summary Statements for Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended
June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024, are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as at for
Fiscal 2022, 2023 and 2024 prepared in accordance with Ind AS and our audited consolidated financial
statements as at and for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2024 has been prepared in
accordance with Ind AS 34 and restated in accordance with requirements of Section 26 of Part I of Chapter
III of Companies Act, SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectuses
(Revised 2019)” issued by ICAI. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from IFRS, U.S. GAAP and
other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. If our
financial statements were to be prepared in accordance with such other accounting principles, our results of
operations, cash flows and financial position may be substantially different. Prospective investors should
review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our financial statements, and consult their own
professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these accounting principles and those
with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices
on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should be limited accordingly.

86. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price of
the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer. Further,
the current market price of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the
BRLMs is below their respective issue prices.

The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by
our Company in consultation with the BRLMs. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity Shares will be
determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs through the Book Building Process. These will
be based on numerous factors, including factors as described under “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 150
and may not be indicative of the market price for the Equity Shares after the Offer.

In addition to the above, the current market price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public
offerings managed by the BRLMs is below their respective issue price. For further details, see “Other
Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures – Price information of past issues handled by the BRLMs” on page 530.
The factors that could affect the market price of the Equity Shares include, among others, broad market trends,
financial performance and results of our Company post-listing, and other factors beyond our control. We
cannot assure you that an active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares
or provide any assurance regarding the price at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing.

87. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders
and Eligible Employees Bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion are not permitted to withdraw their
Bids after Bid/Offer Closing Date.

Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are required to block the Bid
amount on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Similarly, Retail Individual Bidders
and Eligible Employees Bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion can revise their Bids during the
Bid/Offer Period and/or withdraw their Bids until the Bid/ Offer Closing date, but not thereafter. While we
are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity
Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment,
within three Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by
the SEBI, events affecting the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes
in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results
of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and
Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events
may limit the investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading
price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing. Therefore, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders will not be
able to withdraw or lower their bids following adverse developments in international or national monetary
policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or otherwise
between the dates of submission of their Bids and Allotment.

87
88. Holders of Equity Shares may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law
and thereby may suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of
equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive
rights have been waived by adoption of a special resolution. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction the
investors are located in does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering
document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the investors will be
unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. If we elect not to file a registration
statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s
benefit. The value the custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot
be predicted. In addition, to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-emption rights granted in
respect of the Equity Shares held by them, their proportional interest in us would be reduced.

89. A third-party could be prevented from acquiring control of us post this Offer, because of anti-takeover
provisions under Indian law.

As a listed Indian entity, there are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover
or change in control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations, an acquirer has been defined as any
person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting rights or control over a
company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these provisions have been
formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions may also
discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company subsequent to completion of the
Offer. Consequently, even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity
Shares at a premium to their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders, such a
takeover may not be attempted or consummated because of Takeover Regulations.

90. Our customers may engage in transactions in or with countries or persons that are subject to U.S. and
other sanctions.

U.S. law generally prohibits U.S. persons from directly or indirectly investing or otherwise doing business in
or with certain countries that are the subject of comprehensive sanctions and with certain persons or
businesses that have been specially designated by the OFAC or other U.S. government agencies. Other
governments and international or regional organisations also administer similar economic sanctions. We may
enter into transactions with customers who may be doing business with, or located in, countries to which
certain OFAC-administered and other sanctions apply. There can be no assurance that we will be able to fully
monitor all of our transactions for any potential violation. If it were determined that transactions in which we
participate violate U.S. or other sanctions, we could be subject to U.S. or other penalties, and our reputation
and future business prospects in the United States or with U.S. persons, or in other jurisdictions, could be
adversely affected. We rely on our staff to be up-to-date and aware of the latest sanctions in place. Further,
investors in the Equity Shares could incur reputational or other risks as the result of our customers’ dealings
in or with countries or with persons that are the subject of U.S. sanctions.

91. Compliance with provisions of Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act may affect payments on the Equity
Shares.

The U.S. “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (or “FATCA”) imposes a new reporting regime and
potentially, imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain “foreign passthru payments” made by certain non-U.S.
financial institutions (including intermediaries).

If payments on the Equity Shares are made by such non-U.S. financial institutions (including intermediaries),
this withholding may be imposed on such payments if made to any non-U.S. financial institution (including
an intermediary) that is not otherwise exempt from FATCA or other holders who do not provide sufficient
identifying information to the payer, to the extent such payments are considered “foreign passthru payments”.
Under current guidance, the term “foreign passthru payment” is not defined and it is therefore not clear
whether and to what extent payments on the Equity Shares would be considered “foreign passthru payments”.
The United States has entered into intergovernmental agreements with many jurisdictions (including India)

88
that modify the FATCA withholding regime described above. It is not yet clear how the intergovernmental
agreements between the United States and these jurisdictions will address “foreign passthru payments” and
whether such agreements will require us or other financial institutions to withhold or report on payments on
the Equity Shares to the extent they are treated as “foreign passthru payments”. Prospective investors should
consult their tax advisors regarding the consequences of FATCA, or any intergovernmental agreement or
non-U.S. legislation implementing FATCA, to their investment in Equity Shares.

92. U.S. holders should consider the impact of the passive foreign investment company rules in connection
with an investment in our Equity Shares.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal
income tax purposes for any taxable year in which either: (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive
income” or (ii) at least 50% of its gross assets during the taxable year (based on of the quarterly values of the
assets during a taxable year) are “passive assets,” which generally means that they produce passive income
or are held for the production of passive income.

No assurance can be given that our Company will or will not be considered a PFIC in the current or future
years. The determination of whether or not our Company is a PFIC is a factual determination that is made
annually after the end of each taxable year, and there can be no assurance that our Company will not be
considered a PFIC in the current taxable year or any future taxable year because, among other reasons, (i) the
composition of our Company’s income and assets will vary over time, and (ii) the manner of the application
of relevant rules is uncertain in several respects. Further, our Company’s PFIC status may depend on the
market price of its Equity Shares, which may fluctuate considerably.

30, 2021 and the Shareholders on September 1, 2021, with a maximum options pool of 10,000,000 options.
Each option, when exercised, would be converted into one Equity Share of our Company, in accordance with
the terms and conditions as may be decided under the ESOP Scheme. Further, the ESOP Scheme contemplates
a statutory minimum vesting period of one year to maximum of 10 years from the date of grant of options.

The primary objective of the ESOP Scheme is to reward key employees for their association, dedication and
contribution to the goals of the Company. The ESOP Scheme is in compliance with the SEBI SBEB
Regulations with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee administering the ESOP Scheme.

Pursuant to a resolution of our Board on March 30, 2022 and of our Shareholders on March 31, 2022, the
ESOP Scheme has been amended to increase the maximum number of options that may be granted to any
employee, in Fiscal 2023 and in aggregate, from 97,000 options to 1,500,000 options. Further, pursuant to a
resolution of our Board on June 16, 2023 and of our Shareholders on July 11, 2023, the ESOP Scheme has
been amended to permit exercise of options by employees, during the continuation of employment/service,
prior to listing of equity shares of our Company. Subsequently, pursuant to a resolution of our Board on
October 28, 2023 and of our Shareholders on November 30, 2023, the ESOP Scheme has been amended to
increase the maximum vesting period from five years to 10 years from the date of grant of options. As on the

grants of options under the ESOP Scheme are in compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and all allotments
