📊 Company KPI Comparison (FY24)

Company	Sector	Rev. CAGR	ROE (%)	D/E Ratio	Profit Margin (%)
Adani Green	Solar	25.3%	8.5	3.2	11.5
Tata Power	Integrated	10.2%	12.7	1.9	9.8
ReNew Power	Renewables	18.5%	6.9	3.8	5.2
Suzlon	Wind	12.1%	5.4	1.2	4.0
NHPC	Hydropower	6.4%	11.2	0.85	23.0
NTPC	Thermal/Renew.	8.9%	13.3	1.3	18.2
Reliance	Conglomerate	14.5%	15.9	0.4	9.5
Powergrid	Transmission	7.2%	18.5	1.1	20.5
Waaree Energy	Solar Mfg.	22.0%	9.8	0.2	7.4
IREDA	Finance (NBFC)	15.5%	10.1	6.0	12.6

📌 Key Insight:

🔍 Waaree Energies stands out with a Debt-to-Equity ratio of just 0.2, signaling robust solvency — a major strength for a capital-intensive business.

🔍 IREDA's D/E is higher because it's a lending institution (NBFC), which is normal and healthy in that context.

🔍 Companies like Suzlon and Reliance have notably improved solvency.

🔍 Company like Powergrid Stable regulated returns.

🔍 Hydro Power Company like NHPC Cash-rich PSU with balanced leverage, but miss the sales growth.

🔍 Diversified Company like Reliance with balanced debt & consistent in Profits.

📊 Suggested FY 2035 Goals for Investors

Metric	Current (FY24)	Projection (FY35)
Renewable Installed Capacity	198 GW	500+ GW
Per Capita Energy Consumption	18,410 MJ/person	25,000–27,000 MJ/person
T&D Losses	17%	<10%
Industry Sector Energy Use	3,11,822 KToE	4,50,000–5,00,000 KToE
Renewable Share in Power Gen.	~25–30%	>50%

💡 Investor Takeaways
