Outlook
KP Energy is well-positioned to capitalize on India’s renewable energy boom, driven by its strong order book (2 GW), technological advancements, and strategic partnerships. The company’s focus on expanding its IPP portfolio and exploring offshore wind opportunities aligns with India’s clean energy ambitions. However, investors should monitor rising borrowings and trade receivables, which could impact short-term liquidity. With a TTM PE of 27.4x (well below the sectoral range of 50–90), KP Energy appears undervalued, making it an attractive investment for those betting on India’s renewable energy growth.
