Shakti Pumps is a leading maker of solar stainless-steel submersible pumps, pressure booster pumps, controllers, invertors, and other products. It is the only company that manufactures products for solar pump installation in-house, which includes drives, structures, motors, and inventors.

The company's profit-after-tax (PAT) rose over 40x to Rs 89.7 crore in Q4FY24 from Rs 2.2 crore a year back. Revenue, too, jumped 233 percent YoY to Rs 600 crore, while EBITDA margin expanded by 1,550 basis points to 21.5 percent in Q4FY24.

Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research, StoxBox believes that since Shakti Pumps is the market leader in the industry, it is poised to benefit from such a scheme over the years.

"Considering the long-term scenario, the high energy targets set by the government coupled with the ease of installation of the company’s products, are expected to drive the market going ahead. These factors coupled with volatile fuel prices associated with fuel-based pumping systems are about to create ample opportunities for solar-based pumping systems," he said.

Earlier this year, the company had raised Rs 200 crore via qualified institutional placement (QIP). The QIP was fully subscribed by two large mutual funds such as LIC Mutual Fund and SBI Mutual Fund.
