EBITDA for 9M grew by 238% YoY to Rs 1.69 billion (~$20.3 million) from Rs 500 million (~$6 million).
Gensol Engineering has also secured financial backing, receiving approval for a Rs 5.13 billion (~$61.72 million) loan from the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency. This funding will support the company's EV Lease business, specifically to finance 3,800 electric vehicles.
Recent notable achievements include securing an EPC contract for a 33 MW captive solar power project from Sarda Energy and Minerals and winning an EPC contract from NHPC for a green hydrogen-based mobility station in Kargil, Ladakh.
