KPI Green Energy reported a 14% year-on-year decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 95 crore for the quarter ended June 2025, as geopolitical tensions and rising financing costs weighed on the company's bottom line through increased depreciation charges.
Despite the profit decline, total revenue for the June quarter rose 16% to Rs 710 crore, indicating continued top-line expansion for the renewable energy developer. The divergence between revenue growth and profitability underscores a broader challenge for Indian renewable energy firms, which operate in a capital-intensive sector where project ramp-ups drive revenue but also increase depreciation and interest burdens in the near term.
The company attributed the profit contraction to elevated financing costs and higher depreciation expenses, both of which were exacerbated by broader geopolitical uncertainties affecting input costs and capital expenditure timelines. Solar module and component costs have experienced fluctuations over recent quarters due to supply chain disruptions and trade policy shifts in key manufacturing markets, affecting project economics across the industry.
In a separate development, KPI Green Energy announced a change in its senior financial leadership. Kapil Kriplani has been appointed as the new Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Salim Yahoo, who resigned from the position. The company did not disclose further details regarding the reasons for the leadership transition.
KPI Green Energy, formerly known as K.P. Energy, is a solar and hybrid power generation company headquartered in Surat, Gujarat. The company operates across both the Independent Power Producer (IPP) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) segments, developing utility-scale solar and hybrid renewable energy projects primarily in India. The dual-model approach allows the company to earn revenue from both selling electricity under long-term power purchase agreements and from building projects for third-party clients, positioning it within India's push toward 500 GW of non-fossil fuel installed capacity by 2030.
