Sterling & Wilson Renewable falls as higher construction costs widen losses

Sterling & Wilson provides turnkey EPC services for utility-scale, rooftop and floating solar power projects. It also provides operations and maintenance services for projects constructed by third parties.

Late last year, Reliance Industries announced the acquisition of 40 percent stake in the company, through its subsidiary Reliance New Energy Ltd., in line with its strategy to enable 100 GW clean and green energy by 2030. "RIL’s long years of expertise in business development will help SWREL consolidate its position in existing territories and make its mark in new geographies," Sterling & Wilson wrote in its annual report.

Last month, the company had announced that it had emerged as the L-1 bidder for a solar PV project in Gujarat worth Rs 2,200 crore. The proposed plant will belong to NTPC Renewable Energy Ltd. and the bid price includes operations and maintenance services for three years. As of March 31 this year, the company's total unexecuted order book stood at Rs 3,253 crore.

However, the company won orders worth only Rs 719 crore in FY22, compared to Rs 7,936 crore at the end of FY21.

Shares of Sterling and Wilson Renewable Energy are up 5% as of noon on Friday, trading at Rs 346. The stock is up for the fourth day in a row.
