I now hand the conference over to Mr. Mohit Kumar from ICICI Securities. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

Mohit Kumar
Deputy Manager of Wealth and Trade, ICICI Securities

Yeah. Thank you. Good evening. On behalf of ICICI Securities, I welcome you all to the Q2 FY2026 earnings call of Inox Wind and Inox Green Energy Services. For today's call, we have with us Mr. Devansh Jain, Executive Director, INOXGFL Group ; Mr. Akhil Jindal, Group CFO, INOXGFL Group ; Mr. Sanjeev Agarwal, CEO, Inox Wind; Mr. S. K. Mathusudhana, CEO, Inox Green; and other senior members of the management. I will now hand over the call to the management for their initial remarks, after which we'll open the floor for the Q&A session. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Thank you so much, Mohit. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining the Q2 FY2025 earnings conference call of Inox Wind Limited and Inox Green Energy Services Limited. I will first brief you on the financial and operational achievements of Inox Wind for the quarter-end review, as well as other key developments and future roadmap before handing it over to Madhu for his briefing on the development at Inox Green. We are pleased to inform you that we have been able to deliver the best-ever Q2 in Inox Wind history, despite the quarters being substantially impacted due to monsoons. With over 200 MW executed in Q2 and around 350 MW in H1, we are on the track to achieve our guidance for the full year, with H2 generally being 70% of the annual execution.

I will briefly take you through some of the key results of Inox Wind's financial performance for Q2 FY2026. On a consolidated basis, Inox Wind has reported a revenue of INR 1,162 crore, an increase of 56% Y-o-Y, EBITDA of INR 271 crore, an increase of 48% Y-o-Y, PAT of INR 121 crore, an increase of 43% Y-o-Y, Cash Profit of INR 220 crore, an increase of 66% Y-o-Y. Execution for the quarter is 202 MW, taking the total execution of the first half of FY2026 to around 350 MW. On the order book front, we have a large and very diversified order book, which currently stands at over 3.2 GW. We are building new customer relationships and continue to fortify our existing relationship. Further, we are also discussing with multiple customers, including the group IPP, to enter into framework agreements and partnerships, which would provide long-term recurring annual orders.

Cumulatively, these agreements will secure upward of 1 GW of annual recurring orders for Inox Wind going ahead. Consequently, we are confident to close FY2026 with a very strong net order book, which will provide execution visibility for the subsequent 18-24 months. Our manufacturing facility, including the recently commissioned nacelle and hub unit at Kalyangar, Gujarat, is operating at high utilization levels, and EPC activities on multiple sites are on full swing post the monsoons. Further, we are expanding our manufacturing presence in South India by setting up a new blade and tower manufacturing facility, giving us quicker access to large sites across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. With my colleague Madhu, I will brief you in greater details. We are related with achievements and prospects of our subsidiary Inox Green, where Inox Wind holds 56% currently.

Inox Green has a 12.5 GW renewable portfolio directly or through investments made for multi-gigawatt portfolio acquisitions. The group IPP, with an ambitious plan of setting up multi-gigawatt renewable energy capacity annually, provides a strong portfolio additional visibility. Further, with the organic and inorganic growth prospects of the company, we believe Inox Green is on track to become the largest renewable O&M player in India. Another positive development is the scheme of demerger of the substation business from Inox Green and its subsequent merger into Inox Renewables, receiving approval from shareholders and creditors. This will add value for both Inox Wind, with subsequent listing of Inox Renewables Solution as an EPC arm of Inox Wind, and Inox Green with the elimination of depreciation on demergers of the assets block. With a global shift towards greener power, India has also set ambitious plans for the complete transition to renewable energy.

Hybrid projects are gaining pace to achieve this transition. Wind, along with solar, plays an important role in these hybrid projects. Wind, complementary to solar in Indian conditions, makes it an important source of power for grid stabilization as well as higher grid utilization. Also, price arbitrage compared to merchant power, especially during the peak hours, makes wind an important source. The recently announced reduction in GST for wind components from 12%- 5% is another positive development in the increasing list of favorable policies being in place for the Indian wind sector, including ALMM for wind and wind turbine components, amendment to CRT connectivity, and GNA regulations for IECS, allowing hybridization of existing solar and wind transmission projects, among others. With all building blocks in place, I believe Inox Wind is well set to embark on the next leg of growth. I would now hand over to S. K. Mathusudhana , CEO of Inox Green, for his remarks. Madhu.

S. K. Mathusudhana
CEO, Inox Green

Thanks, Sanjeev. Good evening, everyone. I will firstly brief you on our financial achievements of Inox Green during the quarter before moving to other aspects. During Q2 FY2026, Inox Green reported best-ever financial performance. Total income of INR 129.5 crore, up by 101% year-on-year. EBITDA of INR 52.2 crore, up by 52% year-on-year. Profit before tax of INR 40.9 crores, up by 323% year-on-year. Profit after tax of INR 28.1 crores, up by 363% year-on-year. Cash PAT of INR 50.9 crores, up by 121% year-on-year. During the quarter, the machine availability of the entire portfolio averaged 96.3%. Inox Green's portfolio stands at 12.5 GW, including the investments which we have made to acquire 6.5 GW of operational wind O&M assets of two companies. With the financials expected to consolidate into Inox Green's books in FY2027 post-statute approvals, we expect our profitability to grow manifold in FY2027 over FY2026.

The scheme of demerger of the substation business from Inox Green and its subsequent merger into Inox Renewables Solution has received approvals from shareholders and creditors. Once this scheme receives final approval from NCLT, gross block of around INR 1,000 crore will be eliminated from Inox Green's balance sheet, and subsequently, the annual depreciation of INR 50 crore-55 crore will be eliminated, thereby increasing the profitability. It will also lead to significant improvement in the ROE and ROCE of Inox Green. Inox Green has rapid growth plans on both organic and inorganic fronts. We will continue to be beneficiaries of our parent company, Inox Wind's rapid execution growth. Additionally, large-scale plans of our group IPP company and solar module vertical will also benefit us going ahead. I believe Inox Green is well on track to become India's largest renewable O&M company in the very near future.

I will now hand over to our Executive Director, Mr. Devansh Jain, for his remarks, after which we will open up the floor for the Q&A. Thank you.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Hi, good evening, everybody. While Sanjeev and Madhu are speaking me through the brief financial and operational performance of their respective companies, let me just touch upon some of the strategic initiatives that we have undertaken across the renewables vertical of the INOXGFL Group . At the outset, I am pleased with what we have been able to achieve so far, building one of the most integrated groups in the energy transition space. Today, we are present across the value chain in renewables, right from manufacturing of wind turbines and solar modules, project development, EPC and commissioning, to O&M services, and now renewable power generation. At the same time, our group companies are also large consumers of energy. Our IPP venture, I believe, is the most strategic fit in the group, as it enhances the value of all our existing businesses.

While Inox Wind stands to gain through recurring turnkey orders over the next several years, Inox Green also gains through the constant addition of capacities to its O&M portfolio. At Inox Wind, all our strategic decisions related to backward and forward integration have started to yield results. Additionally, at Inox Wind, we are strategically pivoting ourselves to enter into long-term framework agreements with multiple IPPs, which will lead to a large recurring annual order inflow visibility. Further, Inox Green has acquired multi-gigawatt O&M portfolios through investments, which takes our current O&M portfolio to 12.5 GW and sets us on course to make Inox Green the largest renewables O&M company in India. This has been done in one of the shortest times globally ever. There has been a substantial progress in the substation demerger scheme, which has now received approval from shareholders and creditors.

I believe that the demerger and subsequent listing of Inox Renewables Solution will unlock substantial value for both Inox Wind and Inox Green. I thank all our shareholders and creditors for their continued and unwavering support for all of our group companies. Thank you, and now we can open the floor for Q&A.

Operator

Thank you very much. We will now begin the question- and- answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on the touchstone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Mangesh Madhav from Ridhanta Vision Private Limited. Please go ahead.

Mangesh Madhav
Analyst, Ridhanta Vision Private Limited

Hi, am I audible?

Operator

Yes, please go ahead, Mangesh.

Mangesh Madhav
Analyst, Ridhanta Vision Private Limited

Yeah, first of all, I want to congratulate management on good sets of numbers. So I have two questions. So my first question is, you have raised financial 2026 EBITDA margin guidance to 18%-19%. Could you break down how much comes from backward rations, like nacelles, transformers, and cranes, and how much comes from royalty suggestion on the 3 MW platform?

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Hi, thank you for your question. Broadly, we do not give specific breakups of the benefits coming in from all the activities that we are doing. We have said it multiple times that the royalty, which has gone off now for the 3 MW turbines, is broadly around INR 600,000 per MW. I am sure you can make out from the numbers that we have already given several times. On the 18%-19% EBITDA margin guidance that we had increased in the last quarter, we continue to stick on that.

Mangesh Madhav
Analyst, Ridhanta Vision Private Limited

Okay, okay. My second question is, like you mentioned, focusing on completing incomplete sets in quarter one of a con call and maintaining like 120 days networking capital. Could you quantify the megawatt or rupee value of these incomplete sets that are still on the books and expected cash conversion timeline, especially of turnkey projects where revenue is recognized early but cash comes only at commissioning?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

I mean, different projects have different payment cycles, but effectively, we've guided for 120 MW networking capital cycle, and I think we're well on track to broadly achieve that over the course of this financial year. I'm not sure what specific data you want.

Mangesh Madhav
Analyst, Ridhanta Vision Private Limited

What is the INR value of incomplete sets stuck in receivable or inventory today, and how much of that is expected to convert in Q3 versus Q4?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Again, there is nothing stuck. Like with this guiding, there's nothing called stuck. We've guided for 120 days of net working capital, and that's what the company will achieve over the course of ongoing quarters.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

At this time, you also have an advantage of being our balance sheet. So all the numbers that you're asking are a part of our Clause 41 disclosure. You can have a look at the inventory and the debtors and the creditors. Working capital cycle is something that is easily available from that Clause 41.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Okay, okay, okay. Thank you. That's it from my side. All the very best for upcoming quarters.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure that the management will be able to address questions from all the participants, kindly limit your questions to two per participant. If you have a follow-up question, please rejoin the queue. The next question is from the line of Mahesh Patil from ICICI Securities. Please go ahead.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Yeah, hi sir. Congrats on a very good set of results. Sir, a couple of questions. One on the execution. We have achieved around 348 MW in H1, which is close to 29% of our full-year target of 1.2 GW. You have still maintained the 1,200 MW target. I just wanted to understand from how do you see execution in H2? I mean, since we have achieved only 29% and H2 target is very steep.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, I think we've publicly guided multiple times that H1 and H2 will probably be 30%-35%. Yes, we've achieved about 30% in H1. As Sanjeev mentioned, obviously, this is the most affected quarter in terms of monsoons, and I think we are broadly very well on track to achieve that. He's also mentioned our new nacelle manufacturing facility in Kalyangad has gone live. Cranes are deployed across sites. Transformer manufacturing has been ramped up. We are extremely confident of achieving that. Having said that, I think we are very well on track even with respect to the financial numbers we've guided for. If you look at the financial numbers over H1, I think we're extremely—I mean, frankly, we're ahead of track of what we've guided. We are confident of achieving the overall targets for the financial year.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Okay. Sir, speaking of financials, I think we have guided for 18%-19% margins, but in H1, we are a bit more than 22%. We are likely to.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, I'm just saying we've upgraded our margins last quarter to 18-19%, and we stick to it. We're not changing guidance at this point in time. Over the past, I would say, six quarters, we've upgraded guidance almost four times. I don't think it's fair to keep coming back to us and asking us for margin upgrades every quarter. I think we're doing better than what we've guided, and I hope shareholders are happy with that.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Okay. Sir, what about the pipeline? We have 380 MW of orders in H1. If you can guide us in terms of inquiry pipeline and what we can expect in H2.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Okay. Look, we have said in our guidance that we are working on multiple projects. We've also worked on a strategy where there are tenders, which is EPC. There are tenders which are semi-turnkey, and there are tenders where we do equipment supply. I would say at this point in time, we have in excess of 3 GW of tender pipeline among multiple sectors, which I just explained. We are extremely confident that we would achieve our guidance. Probably next quarter, when we meet, we will talk more about even the possibility of overachieving it.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Just to add.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Sir, I'm asking about the inflow, sir, order inflow. How do you see the pipeline?

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Yeah, I'm only talking about order inflow. That we have an excess of 3 GW of tenders that we are working on today. This is a mix of complete EPC, semi-turnkey, and equipment supply.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Got it, sir. And sir, last.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Just to add to what Sanjeev has said, he has mentioned in his opening remarks as well that we are strategically now working on signing framework orders with multiple parties, which will in turn give us an order visibility, an annual recurring order visibility of at least 1 GW across multiple parties. That is also something which will come over the next few months.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Sure, sir. I think in the presentation, you have mentioned that 500-700 MW each year is expected from our group IPP, right? And then maybe 500 MW more from other parties.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Yes, from multiple other third-party companies.

Mahesh Patil
Analyst, ICICI Securities

Okay, sir. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Ketan Jain from Avendus Spark . Please go ahead.

Ketan Jain
Analyst, Avendus Spark

Thank you. Congratulations, sir. My question is just a follow-up to the question of the previous participant. I just wanted to understand. Recently, there's a media article saying that almost 40 GW of projects without PPAs are expected to cancel and go for rebidding. How do you expect this to impact the sector? Do you expect—what's your outlook on the ordering activity in wind, especially even in seven months? The ordering activity has been down. Do you expect this to impact the sector in the near term?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

A couple of things. First and foremost, with respect to Inox Wind, we do not have any orders in our system which are impacted by these so-called potential PPA cancellations, right? Second, with respect to—there has been a lot of murmur talk about this for the past 15 months, and many of these tenders are standalone tenders of wind, solar. What is happening, the name of the game has now changed to FDRE-RTC hybrid from a grid stability perspective, from more absorption of power in the grid. Also, batteries become fairly competitive. People want to add FDRE with more wind. Honestly, this entire cancellation drive increases the opportunity for the wind sector because you are going to see more and more hybrid RTC FDRE tenders, which will lead to more wind component bids as we move forward.

I think the other way to look at it is, I mean, we are really moving to a scenario where rather than just taking out tenders and then keeping PPAs pending forever, which really leads to no execution because without PPA signing, no FC happens, financial closure, and nobody places orders and moves forward, you are now moving to a regime where the government is saying, "Look, let's actually add the power which the grid needs, which is firm hybrid RTC FDRE," as I mentioned. I think it's a bold move. It's a proactive move. I think putting aside the so-called optical negative input, I think it's a very positive move for the sector to move towards actual genuine bids, which will keep coming up as we move forward.

The other thing to look at is if you look at the past seven months of data, what the wind sector has added in the past seven months in India is close to about 3,700 MW of commissioning. If you just extrapolate that to 12 months, and mind you, Q2 is always a monsoon quarter, we're broadly looking at a scenario. We are north of 6 GW in this financial year. Across key industry players, we've guided for this year being 5-6 GW, next year being 7-8 GW. I think the industry is going to surpass this as we move forward.

Ketan Jain
Analyst, Avendus Spark

And sir.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

I can just add, Sanjeev here. I can just add, just to tell you that in Inox, we have an extremely robust risk management process. Any tenders that come to us, all these nitty-gritties are weighed in before we decide to make a bid. As God just demonstrated, we have no job in execution, no project in execution which may impact because of this news which is floating around. Neither we have tendered today. The 3 MW, excess of 3 GW that we are tendering will fall into this category. Thanks to this risk management process internally in the organization, which has always helped us to be one step ahead of what others do or to take care of the market needs. Thank you.

Ketan Jain
Analyst, Avendus Spark

Understood. Thank you. That's reassuring. Thank you and all the best.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Madhu Dasari from MD Advisors. Please go ahead. Excuse me, Madhu, you there?

Hi sir, am I audible?

Yes, yes. Please go ahead.

Hi, Devansh sir. My question, sir, already answered in my previous question. I just wanted to wish everyone all the best for the coming quarters and take care of your health, sir.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Thank you so much. You can take up the next question, please.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Ketan Gandhi from Gandhi Securities. Please go ahead.

Ketan Gandhi
Analyst, Gandhi Securities

Hi sir. Is it possible for you to quantify the number of equipment supply and EPC for the balance in execution in the H2?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, Ketan, we will not quantify because we've got different orders at some point in time. Some of the equipment supply sites are ready. Sometimes they're not ready. So it's not possible to quantify. But broadly, I would say for the course of this financial year, we should be somewhere between 50-50 to 60-40 in terms of turnkey equipment supply.

Ketan Gandhi
Analyst, Gandhi Securities

All right. Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Nitin Kaushik from Afin Capital Private Limited. Please go ahead.

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Good evening, sir. Thank you for the opportunity. Sir, my first question was regarding Inox Green. So what O&M portfolio growth are you expecting in FY 2026? Hello?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Hi. We have given ample details in our presentation that we have already reached around 12.5 GW of O&M portfolio across wind and solar, part of it coming in from the investments that Inox Green has recently made to acquire certain portfolios, accumulating to around 6.5 GW. We have also said in our last call that we have a target to achieve 17 GW of O&M portfolio within the next two years. That was from the last quarter. We are very confident of, in fact, overachieving that number. Probably that should answer your question.

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Got it, sir. Sir, the second question was regarding the realization of wind turbine segments. So sir, I wanted to ask, what are the current realizations of the segments and also what drives these realizations?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Broadly, on a thumb rule basis, what you can consider is INR 80 million per megawatt for any turnkey contracts, inclusive of GST, and around INR 60 million-INR 65 million for equipment supply. If we have limited scope EPC along with it, the pricing increases slightly. That is the thumb rule which you can consider for any of your projections.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Prit Nagersheth from Wealth Finvisor . Please go ahead.

Prit Nagersheth
Analyst, Wealth Finvisor

Yes, hi. I just wanted to, first of all, congratulate everybody here, especially on the Inox Green side, to achieve a 12.5 GW portfolio. That's just amazing. My question is that given that the assets that could have been acquired have been acquired, and I remember in the last call being said that there is also a chance to add more assets via taking over the O&M portfolios of existing players. Is that a strategy that we are still on? If you could shed some light on that, that would help us understand the road ahead from here, especially on the wind asset side.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Look, when we set out at Inox Green, if you recall, the overall ambition was to eventually make it a 10 GW company over the next two, three years ahead of where we are today. Frankly speaking, we've already become 12.5 GW. We've acquired two large assets directly, indirectly, whichever way you want to put it. There are limited opportunities now, but there are a lot of opportunities coming in from some of the aggregators who now think there is no value creation for them being standalone. There are certain ITPs who are considering declassifying these O&M assets and outsourcing it to large players like us. I think that could lead to large numbers being added as we move forward. Moreover, besides Inox Wind's own organic growth, we also have Inox Solar now in the group, which will add to further capacity, and Inox Clean, the group IPP company, which is adding capacity.

I think it's hard to give out numbers, but all I can say is I think we are very near a point where we would, over the next few months, be India's largest renewable O&M services company, which would continue to grow at a very, very health

Prit Nagersheth
Analyst, Wealth Finvisor

y pace. Wonderful, Devansh. Just amazing. Thank you for that answer.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Prateek Giri from Subh Labh Research . Please go ahead.

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Hi. I hope I'm audible.

Operator

Yes, you are.

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Thank you for the opportunity. Great. Yes, greetings to everyone. Sanjeev, my first question—so I have two questions, and I'm sure you're not going to like both the questions. If I look at our execution, execution numbers for the past four quarters, it is certainly growing. If I look at the industry's installation, which India is currently achieving, it is definitely not in line with what installation we are seeing in the country. I am sure there are answers like 35, 65, or 30, 70. If you look at from this perspective, the industry installation perspective, Sanjeev, what's your opinion on the execution number which we have been delivering for the past three, four quarters continuously? I have a second question. We'll come back on that after the answer.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Prateek, we said this before, and again, let me repeat it for all who are listening to us. We are confident to achieve our numbers of 1.2 GW for the full year. There is a plan. The plan is in motion. It has worked. The 30% we just mentioned was our plan in H1. 70% is the balance to be done. With our new factories fully operational and a mix of turnkey EPC and equipment suppliers, we are absolutely confident to beat this number of 1.2 GW. Prateek?

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Certainly, Sanjeev. In fact, I am also very hopeful that it will happen because last two years, we have seen some shortfall in our guidance, but I am certainly very hopeful. Sanjeev, my second question is on order. My second question is on order inflow.

S. K. Mathusudhana
CEO, Inox Green

Just before you ask the second question, if you look at our financial performance over the last two years, we've beaten all the guidances and all the analyst expectations on the EBITDA side, on the profitability side. Your question and your concern on 100 MW or 50 MW here and there is, I don't think one should worry because on the financial side of things, on the margin side, we've achieved much higher numbers than what the street was expecting us to do. One has to be mindful of that fact as well when analyzing our company.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

In fact, I said in my speech that this is the best-ever quarter to performance for Inox Wind in its history. Yeah, despite the monsoons.

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

No, I totally agree with you, Anshuman . Our subsidiary companies are doing phenomenally well. I don't think anyone would have expected Inox Green to have such a large portfolio in such a short span of time and deliver the numbers which it has done in this quarter also. That is also something which is adding value to the consolidated Inox Wind, which I'm sure all the investors and analysts will be mindful of.

No, Anshuman , I totally agree with you regarding financial performance. It is just that FY 2024 and 2025, we had shortfalls in our execution, which were not compensated in the subsequent years. That is why I thought it is pertinent to raise this issue. I am totally in line with you that probably we will overachieve this year. I am totally hopeful. Thank you for that. Sanjeev, my second question is on order inflow. If I look at our order inflow and I compare it with the sector leader, there is some amount of sustainability in what the sector leader is achieving as order inflow every quarter. Now, we being such an important player in this sector in the country because we are the second largest and we have been in existence for so long, what is the reason that is inhibiting us from taking new orders?

I'm sure we have a thick pipeline, but then why not some material number on the inflows? I hope you get my question, Sanjeev.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Thank you so much. I think I would like to reiterate. We choose our orders very carefully. I said we have a robust risk management philosophy where we analyze all the tenders and then make a decision which one we will go for. Having said that, you've seen that we already have a backlog of almost two years, in excess of two years. Yeah, with the shop, with whatever we can produce from the shop, with whatever we can justify to our customers, we have it. Our present tender pipeline is in excess of 3 GW. Once again, reiterating that the number that we committed on top line on the order book would happen. Prateek?

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Understood. Understood, Sanjeev. Understood, Anshuman. Can I put just last one question, a small question, Sanjeev?

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Okay, go ahead.

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Yeah. We are seeing some inflationary move in aluminum, copper these days. I was just wondering, though I understand we are very strict to our EBITDA margin guidance, I was just wondering if it will impact us in, say, next six, seven months. Is there a pass-through in our tenders, orders, Sanjeev?

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

Yes, a couple of orders we have a pass-through. A couple of orders which we are on the last stage of execution, we've already taken care of those. Yeah, so I don't believe that this inflationary measure on the meters will go to hit us.

Prateek Giri
Analyst, Subh Labh Research

Understood. Understood. Very helpful. Thank you, Sanjeev. Thanks a lot. Good luck.

Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Yes, much better.

Rahul Thakkar
Analyst, Anthem Infotech Private Limited

Yeah. I just had one question with the management of Inox Green. In the past, you have guided that a per-megawatt realization is somewhere in the ballpark of INR 800,000-INR 1,000,000 and with a 5% increment per year in our contracts. Are there any changes in that, or are we still on those numbers?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, the guidance which we've given in the past stands firm. Broadly, INR 800,000-INR 1,000,000 per megawatt is the revenue for wind. For solar, as we've spoken in the last call as well, it's around INR 200,000 per megawatt. On the margins front, it's 50% broadly for wind. For solar, it's around 20% odd.

Thank you. Okay. Thank you so much. That's all.

Thank you. The next follow-up question is from the line of Nitin Kaushik from Afin Capital Private Limited. Please go ahead.

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Hello, sir. My question was regarding the drivers of realization. What drives realization in wind and turbine segments?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

You said multiple times that realization, basically, on an average, is around INR 8 crore per turnkey contracts. Now, turnkey contracts include the equipment that we supply and the EPC services as well as the infrastructure services which we provide. That is the thumb rule. Across the industry, the prices continue to be stable at around these levels for the 3 MW turbines. That is how the industry is working right now.

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Got it, sir. Also, sir, what would be your CapEx guidance for FY2026?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Could you repeat your question, please?

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Sir, my question is, what would be your capital expenditure CapEx guidance for FY 2026?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

For FY2026, our CapEx guidance is around INR 200 crore.

Nitin Kaushik
Equity Research Analyst, Afin Capital Private Limited

Okay, sir. So that's it from my side. Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Mathusudhana from MD Advisors. Please go ahead.

Hi, Devansh. Just a generic question. Is there a chance of Inox Wind entering into battery energy storage system in future? I mean, nowadays, everyone is talking about BESS, right? Just wanted to ask regarding this.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, no. Basically, let me answer this. I think on our battery side, our group will be already doing a lot of work on the battery side. They are pioneers in this business. To that extent, I do not think we have any intention of getting into the battery or battery manufacturing. Yes, as a subset of our business, wherever there is a battery as an added storage plant, then definitely we are looking at those opportunities to bid. In fact, another group called Inox Clean, as you know, which is an IPP business, is actively using the hybrid and the storage model to bid for the project. Per se, Inox Wind getting into battery will never be the case. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you, sir. I'm good from my end.

Operator

Thank you. The next question is from the line of Ashish Soni from Family Office. Please go ahead.

Ashish Soni
Analyst, Family Office

The framework agreement you spoke about in the initial remarks, so will it revise the guidance upwards from FY 2026 onwards?

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

No, see, so let's first announce all those framework agreements that we are currently negotiating with our partners, and probably we'll come back to you later.

Sanjeev Agarwal
CEO, Inox Wind

I'm hoping it will be upward revision, right? Because I think I heard 1 GW annually during the opening remarks.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

That's an obvious answer, yes.

Ashish Soni
Analyst, Family Office

Okay. Thanks.

Operator

Thank you. That was the last question for today's conference. I would now like to hand the conference over to management for closing comments. Over to you, sir.

Devansh Jain
Executive Director, INOXGFL Group

Thank you. Thank you, everyone, for joining today's call on Inox Wind and Inox Green. I hope you have a very good weekend. Thank you again. We'll see you in Q3. Thank you.

Operator

On behalf of ICICI Securities, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines.
