Suzlon vs Inox Wind: Which wind energy stock should you buy after March quarter results?
Suzlon Energy and Inox Wind, leading players in wind energy solutions, have garnered significant interest from Dalal Street investors in recent years, amid India's strong push to expand renewable energy capacity by the end of this decade.
Both companies are engaged in the manufacturing of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) and providing comprehensive wind energy services.
Following their March quarter results, these companies have once again caught investor attention in recent sessions.
Analysts have largely retained their optimistic outlook on both companies and have raised target prices after the Q4 results met expectations. They believe the two players are in a strong position amid the growth potential of India's wind energy market, which is expected to rise to 100 GW by 2030 from the current 50 GW.
Although Inox Wind shares reacted negatively in today's session to the March quarter numbers, analysts have retained their positive outlook on the stock, citing strong execution of wind projects in FY26 and FY27, which they believe could result in a significant jump in revenue and net profit.
Domestic brokerage firm Nuvama Institutional Equities reiterated its 'Buy' call and raised the price target to ₹ 236 from ₹ 223, citing Inox Wind's strong position as one of only two wind EPC suppliers in India, benefiting from demand in RTC, FDRE, and C&I segments.
ICICI Securities also reiterated its 'Buy' rating and slightly raised its price target to ₹ 230 from ₹ 228, valuing the company at 30x FY27 estimated earnings. Systematix Institutional Equities maintained a 'Buy' rating on Inox Wind stock, with a price target of ₹ 231.
For Suzlon Energy stock, Morgan Stanley maintained its 'Overweight' rating with a target price of ₹ 77 apiece, while Motilal Oswal has also retained its 'Buy' rating, with a ₹ 83 apiece target price.
For the quarter ended March, Suzlon Energy reported a net profit of ₹ 1,181 crore, compared to ₹ 254 crore in the same period last fiscal year, marking a 365% year-on-year growth. Revenue from operations rose 73% YoY to ₹ 3,774 crore during the quarter.
For FY25, net profit jumped to ₹ 2,072 crore from ₹ 660 crore in FY24, driven by a significant rise in revenue to ₹ 10,851 crore. In comparison, the company had reported revenue of ₹ 6,497 crore in FY24.
Suzlon's order book reached a record high of 5.6 GW by the end of FY25, with its S144 platform alone surpassing 5 GW—cementing its position as the dominant product in the Indian wind energy market.
For the first time in its history, the company's management has issued guidance, projecting 60% growth across all key parameters in FY26. This forward-looking statement has been well received by the Street, reflecting the company's confidence and preparedness for future growth.
Inox Wind posted a consolidated net profit of ₹ 190.34 crore in the March quarter, a more than fivefold increase from ₹ 38.74 crore in Q4 FY24, driven by a strong surge in revenues.
The company's revenue from operations more than doubled to ₹ 1,310.65 crore in Q4 FY25, up from ₹ 569 crore in the same quarter last year. It reported an order book of 3.2 GW as of March 2025, up from 2.6 GW in March 2024.
In Q4 FY25, execution stood at 236 MW, compared to 129 MW in Q4 FY24 and 140 MW in Q3 FY25. For FY25, the management had guided for 800 MW in annual execution, and the company achieved 705 MW. Looking ahead, management has guided for 1,200 MW and 2,000 MW execution in FY26 and FY27, respectively. JM Financial expects execution to accelerate to 1,150 MW in FY26 and 1,750 MW in FY27.

The grocery list is dead. Long live the grocery app
A few years ago, when my mother first learned that tomatoes could arrive at our door in under ten minutes, she did not believe me. 'Ten minutes? From where?' she asked, as if I had claimed to conjure them out of thin air. I handed her the phone and showed her apps like Blinkit, Zepto, and Swiggy Instamart. She watched the screen with suspicion and in bemused horror. There were theories that the tomatoes would never arrive. But arrive they did. Fresh, plump, perfectly ripe, and almost too red. And just like that, the quiet, poised theatre of kitchen life in our home began to change. Not in a dramatic, overnight sense, but more like the app update that installs in the background while you sleep. Before the apps, our kitchen moved to a weekly rhythm. Grocery lists were written on the backs of old envelopes and disused bills, and then tucked into my father's shirt pocket. My mother maintained a parallel, exhaustive mental inventory. She was like the internal supply chain manager, aided by decades of intuition and practice. We bought only what was needed and in season. And this shaped what we cooked and how we ate. Then came these apps. All of a sudden, like the (un)invited relative. At first, they were convenience tools, used sparingly – bulk rice order, maybe some bhujiya. But over time, something shifted. One of the first casualties of this era was the old, crumpled grocery list in my father's shirt pocket. In the past, shopping lists were domestic epics, many days in the making. They were a manifestation of meticulous planning and financial prudence. However, what used to be mindful provisioning morphed into fickle, mood-based ordering. Today, the act of 'doing the grocery' no longer feels like an important part of life, but rather an algorithm-dictated chore. We shop only in reaction, not in response. Instant cravings are now logistical possibilities. And I must admit – the very idea that you are never more than ten minutes away from abundance is indeed seductive. But food, at least in Indian homes, was never just about hunger or scarcity. It was about anticipation, particularly the slow build-up to a meal and smelling it being cooked hours before it is served. That entire sensory arc is lost when the paneer arrives, as an afterthought, after you have already begun to prepare the tadka. The fridge has become the new warehouse. Packed not with fresh vegetables or pickles of different varieties, but with plastic bags from quick-commerce orders, often duplicated items. There's less frugality and more waste. My mother sometimes forgets she ordered dhania the day before. It lies wilting in the corner, only to be superseded by a fresher bunch. All this might reek of Doordarshan-era nostalgia. Rest assured, it is not. Nor is this a call to delete the apps. Let us be honest: urban lives are, as it is, squeezed for time, and nuclear families are optimising every errand. And in many ways, these apps are liberating, especially for working mothers, bachelors, the elderly, and those without transport. Lest I sound ungrateful: the grocery app saved me at 02:52 am when I needed heartbreak snacks (while listening to KK and Lucky Ali songs). Despite the conveniences offered, my mother is not entirely thrilled. The app has empowered her, yes, but it has also diluted her authority. In most Indian homes, the kitchen is the command centre. And mothers are its benevolent dictators. It is not just about food but also about control. Earlier, she controlled the kitchen through curation. Now, anyone with the app can become a gatekeeper. My father orders dal without telling her. My cousin buys exotic cheeses 'just to try'. The grocery app has flattened the hierarchy and digitised monetary transactions. For mothers used to operating in the analog era of mental maths and command-and-control planning, this is annoying and has become one more battlefield for domestic micro-management. Also, the kitchen has long been the site for community bonding. Neighbours borrowed salt and sugar freely. The aunty next door would send over gajar for the halwa and you returned the favour by sending her an extra helping, once it was cooked and sweetened. This ecosystem has crumbled. Who will borrow when the app exists? Community exchange, already on the decline, has taken another hit. Perhaps, in the future, an app could have a feature that connects neighbours for sugar swaps. Wistful thinking, ultimately. However, what I miss most is the neighbourhood grocer. It was the parchoon ki dukaan where the proprietor knew our tastes. He would suggest the better brand or throw in some samples for free. There was always a little gossip about the mohalla, and he forwarded credit without asking. In place of friendly nods and familiar faces, we are now in the business of handing out indifferent stars to the delivery boys. Cajoling the sabzi wala to give free coriander was a performance in itself, replete with sighs, a bit of emotional blackmail, head-tilts, and the classic mock walk-away. Today, what is left is quick and convenient. It works just fine, but it does not linger. Yet, even amidst all this, just as Jeff Goldblum declared, 'life, uh, finds a way', old habits and instincts too have an uncanny tendency to come back in unexpected moments. Just last week, I saw my mother scrolling an app for one tomato. One. I watched in horror as she added it to the cart and then paused. 'Rs. 31 is the delivery charge? Arey nahin, leave it. I will go get it myself. And you, come with me.' There it was, that tiny rebellion. She tied her dupatta, grabbed her sturdy old jute bag, and headed out like the old times. Because some tomatoes, she decided, must still be bought the hard way. And perhaps, some things, like the way a kitchen breathes, are still worth taking the long route for.

Rs 400 crore, Rs 600 crore, Rs 1000 crore...: Rich Indians are buying luxury properties across India due to...
Representational Image/File From lavish bungalows in the Mumbai's upscale Malabar Hill to expensive apartments in Lutyens, Delhi, the sale and purchase of luxury real estate by India's ultra rich has increased at a rapid pace in recent times. According to a report by the Economic Times, Leena Gandhi Tewari, the chairperson of pharmaceutical giant USV Private Limited, recently purchased two duplex flats, with a combined area of 22,572 square feet, in Mumbai's Worli for Rs 635 crore. The deal is being touted as the most expensive in India, with each square foot of space costing a whopping Rs 2.83 lakh, as per the report. Additionally, the Kotak family has bought an entire sea-facing building in Mumbai for Rs 628 crore, while DMart owner Radhakishan Damani purchased a vintage bungalow in the posh Malabar Hill area for a staggering Rs 1000 crore. Why India's ultra rich are investing in luxury real estate? As per experts, there are a multitude of factors responsible for the country's uber-rich deciding to invest in luxury real estate, such as the rising demand in the real estate market for luxury homes. However, the number of such properties is still relatively compared to the demand, especially in highly-sought areas like Lutyens, Delhi, Mumbai's Worli, and Golf Course Road in Gurugram. This unequal demand and supply scenario in the luxury real estate market has resulted in prices of these properties skyrocketing in recent times, which can be gauged from the fact the Leena Tewari paid a record Rs 2.83 lakh per square feet for her duplex apartments in Mumbai, while one square feet at Gurugram's DLF Camellias costs around Rs 1.17 lakh. Notably, the ultra rich are not buying these properties for habitation, they plan to monetize them. As per reports, the Kotak family plans to rebuild the sea-facing building they recently purchased in Worli, and likely turn it into a luxury apartment building. Luxury real estate prices skyrocketing in Indian metros Luxury real estate prices in India metros and tier-I cities are surging at a rapid pace, with Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi ranked among 15 world cities where prices of luxury homes are increasing the fastest, as per a report by Knight Frank. Bengaluru ranks 4th on the list, followed by Mumbai at 5th, and Delhi at the 15th spot. According to market data, India's luxury home market grew by 28% in FY23-24, with Delhi-NCR topping the sales. Together, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi-NCR accounted for 67% of the total investment in luxury real estate, showcasing these cities as major real estate hubs in the country. Notably, the number of high net worth individuals (HNIs) increased by 6% to 85,698 in 2024, and the number is expected to reach 93,753 by 2028, according to the Knight Frank Wealth Report 2024. The report noted that HNIs in India invested 32% of their wealth in real estate in 2024, while the figure was 25% in 2020.
