Solar continue to post good set of results led by strong growth in exports & overseas business which contributed 47% to the sales during the quarter. Moreover, demand from domestic coal sector remains better coupled with frequent price hike due to increasing Raw Material cost specially Ammonium Nitrate. Company has diversified its product portfolio and is actively looking for opportunities in Defence sector and continue to grow its Order Book from there. Its foreign subsidiaries are doing good and most of them are profitable or expected to be profitable by Q1FY24 which will boost its earnings.

Good demand from Coal sector along with product addition in defence will play good for Solar in coming years. We maintain our Bullish stance on the stock.
