Power Purchase Agreement
signed with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL).

ACME Solar up 4% on commissioning first phase of 26.4 MW wind power project
ACME Solar share price: ACME Solar Holdings (ACME Solar) shares were buzzing in trade on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, with the scrip rising up to 3.67 per cent to hit an intraday high of ₹255.30 per share. At 1:52 PM, ACME Solar shares continued to trade near day's high level, up 3.29 per cent at ₹254.35 apiece. In comparison, BSE Sensex was trading 0.18 per cent lower at 81,401.17 levels. What drove ACME Solar shares 4% higher today? ACME Solar shares advanced after the company announced it has commissioned the initial 26.4 MW phase of its first wind power project in Shapar, Gujarat. The capacity is part of the larger 50 MW ACME Pokhran wind project, which is being developed in stages. 'Strategically located in one of India's highest wind resource regions, it is poised to be an important contribution to India's renewable energy goals,' ACME Solar said, in a statement. The development is financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and executed by ACME's in-house EPC team, utilising Envision's 3.3 MW wind turbines. Power generated from the facility is collected at a 33/220 kV pooling station and transmitted via a dedicated 220 kV single-circuit line to the Shapar sub-station. This infrastructure will also serve ACME Solar's upcoming 100 MW wind project, currently in advanced construction, the company said. Moreover, the electricity from the project will be supplied under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited. With this commissioning, ACME Solar's total operational capacity has increased from 2,705 MW to 2,731.4 MW. ACME Solar Q4 results ACME Solar reported a 77 per cent year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to ₹122 crore in Q4FY25, primarily due to the absence of an exceptional gain recorded in the same period last year. In the January–March quarter of FY24, the company had posted a one-time gain of ₹696 crore from the sale of 369 MW of operational solar assets located in Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Karnataka. The gain had boosted net profit to ₹532.3 crore in the corresponding quarter. Despite the profit decline, the company's total income rose to ₹539.2 crore in Q4FY25, up from ₹318 crore in the year-ago period, according to a regulatory filing with the BSE. ACME Solar listing ACME Solar made a lacklustre debut on the stock exchanges, falling short of market expectations. On the BSE Sensex, the stock was listed at ₹259 per share, marking a 10.3 per cent drop from its IPO issue price of ₹289.
