Great to see Indian renewable energy companies performing well! 🇮🇳 But expenses rising so sharply is concerning - hope they can maintain margins as they scale up. Solar power is crucial for our energy security.

Employee costs up 236%? Either they're hiring aggressively or giving big hikes. Both are good for Gujarat's job market! More companies should invest in green energy sector. #MakeInIndia

Material costs doubled but still maintained good margins - shows strong operational efficiency. Gujarat-based companies always deliver! Hope they expand more solar projects across India.

As an investor, I'm happy with these numbers but worried about sustainability. Such rapid growth often leads to quality compromises. Hope KPI maintains their standards while expanding.

Solar energy is the future! But government should ensure domestic manufacturing of solar panels to reduce material costs. Right now we're too dependent on imports from China.

Good results but I wish they'd share more about their CSR activities. Renewable energy companies should lead in sustainability beyond just profits - maybe solar projects for rural schools?
