10] Vikram Solar IPO review: Assigning a 'subscribe' tag to the public issue, Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart Ltd, said, "The company is one of India’s largest solar photovoltaic module manufacturers, in terms of operational capacities. It marked growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. The IPO appears exorbitantly priced based on its recent financial data with super profits. Investors may park their funds for listing gains and long-term."

Pointing towards the company's fundamentals, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, said, "Vikram Solar Ltd. offers a strong play on India’s solar manufacturing boom, backed by scale, integration, and policy tailwinds. It's among the largest domestic players with 4.5 GW module capacity and plans to expand to 15.5 GW. FY25 revenue rose 37% YoY to ₹3,459.5 crore, while net profit jumped 75% to ₹139.8 crore. IPO proceeds ( ₹1,500 crore) will fund new cell and module facilities, enhancing self-reliance and margins."

The Lakshmishree Investment experts assigned a 'buy' tag to Vikram Solar IPO: "Company's portfolio spans high-efficiency PV modules, EPC, and O&M services, serving top clients like NTPC and Adani. Risks include high capex, client concentration, and global supply chain exposure. Yet, a strong order book (10.3 GW), backwards integration, and government support position it well for long-term growth. We recommend a ‘SUBSCRIBE’ rating for investors seeking exposure to India’s clean energy value chain."

The net proceeds of the public issue have been proposed to be used for partial funding of capital expenditures for phase-I project funding, phase-II project funding, and general corporate purposes. The market capitalisation of the Vikram Solar IPO is ₹12009.01 crore. As of 31 March 2025, the company's ROE stood around 16.55%, PAT margins were slightly over 4%, and EBITDA margins were around 14.35%. The company's price-to-book value was near 8.50%.
