(FY23), Rs. 206.45 cr. / Rs. 34.44 cr. (FY24), Rs. 322.58 cr. / Rs. 28.13 cr. (FY25). For 9M of FY26 ended on December 31, 2025, it earned a net profit of Rs. 38.69 cr. on a total income of Rs. 236.50 cr. Though it posted growth in its top lines for the reported periods, its bottom line posted inconsistency. For FY25, it posted lower net profit of Rs. 28.13 cr., and for 9M-FY26, though the top line is Rs, 236.50 cr. it posted bumper profit of Rs. 38.69 cr. in a pre-IPO period, that not only raise eyebrows, but also concern over its sustainability going forward.

  1. People concerned about the 126% U.S. tariff on Indian solar exports should note that, as per the RHP, CleanMax’s revenues are derived from long-term domestic PPAs with Indian corporate customers. The company operates as a C&I renewable energy developer and power supplier, not as a solar module exporter to the U.S. Therefore, it has no direct revenue exposure to U.S. solar export markets. While overall sector sentiment may fluctuate, the tariff does not materially change CleanMax’s contracted cash flow visibility or operational fundamentals.

  2. The C&I renewable energy market is still underpenetrated (~7.4%) but expected to reach ~20% by 2030, creating a large growth opportunity for CleanMax as corporates increasingly shift toward clean power
