- Commissioned a 2.4 MWp ground-mounted solar plant at Sardarpura, Gujarat, for captive use at Dahej.
- Generation started April 24; commissioning certificate from GEDA dated June 20.
- Part of an ongoing renewable expansion; cost and expected savings not disclosed.
Why this matters
For a nano-cap with a ₹199 cr market cap and a full-year net loss of ₹43.86 lakh in FY26, any reduction in power costs is welcome. But this is an incremental add to existing solar capacity, not a material shift without quantified savings.
What we're watching
- Whether power costs decline in the next quarterly report.
- Any further renewable capacity additions.
- If this helps reverse the recent net loss trend.
The full read
Aksharchem has commissioned a 2.4 MWp ground-mounted solar plant at Sardarpura, Gujarat, for captive consumption at its Dahej factory. Generation started April 24. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency issued the commissioning certificate on June 20. The company did not disclose the investment outlay or expected savings. Hardly a game-changer. For a nano-cap that just reported a full-year net loss of ₹43.86 lakh in FY26, any operational cost relief is positive — but this is an incremental addition to existing solar capacity, not a turnaround catalyst. The stock is small, and so is this plant.
