Navigating DCR & Non-DCR Production

During an investor call, Sonal Shrivastava, Chief Financial Officer of Waaree Energies, said the company is working to navigate the DCR and non-DCR segments, noting that DCR products typically carry higher margins—similar to what the company earns in export markets.

With its in-house cell manufacturing now ramping up, this segment is expected to grow. Shrivastava said the DCR segment enjoys a margin premium of about 300 to 350 basis points over the normal segment, which typically has margins of around 18–19%.

Waaree Plans For Inverters

Speaking about the company’s expansion plans under a possible ALMM policy for inverters, Amit Paithankar, Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Waaree Energies, said that the company will go beyond just assembly,to set up proper electronic manufacturing equipment, including clean rooms required for this process. 

Waaree has already moved into the transformer segment, besides energy storage, seeking to plug as many gaps in the solar supply chain as it can on its own as it looks to sustain the high growth expectations from the market.
