A fresh issue of 64,80,000 equity shares with a face value of 10 per share makes up the offer.

The registrar of the issue is Skyline Financial Services Private Limited, and the book running lead manager (BRLM) is Corporate Capital Ventures.

The company uses both monocrystalline and polycrystalline cell technologies in the production of PV modules. Its product line includes half-cut, mono-perc, and bifacial solar PV modules. Additionally, it provides complete solar energy solutions, such as engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of surface- and submersible-class AC/DC solar pumps.

Alpex Solar recorded revenue of 183.93 crore for FY23, a rise from 156.06 crore for FY22. For H1FY24, the company brought in 207.13 crore.

“As India aims to achieve zero emissions by 2070, adopting renewable energy plays a critical role in its ambitious plan. To meet market demand for large-sized cells with multi-bus bars (MBB) and the latest types of Mono Perc, Topcon, and Bifacial cells, we are planning to raise funds to expand our business operations by increasing our capacity from 450 MW to 1.2 GW in the existing manufacturing unit.

We are also planning to build a new plant dedicated to producing aluminium frames, eliminating our dependency on imports of the frames from other countries," said Ashwani Sehgal, Chairman & Managing Director of the company, as stated in the press release.
