Regarding financial performance, Vikram Solar reported a revenue increase of 21.11 percent, rising from Rs 20.73 billion in fiscal 2023 to Rs 25.10 billion in fiscal 2024. The company鈥檚 EBITDA also grew significantly, reaching Rs 3.9 billion as of March 31, 2024, up from Rs 1.86 billion in the previous year.
