  • Sahaj Solar IPO is coming at a PE ratio of 15x (FY24 Earnings).
  • I intend to apply in Sahaj Solar IPO subject to availability of funds. Renewable energy sector continues to be in focus though there are clear signs of overcrowding in the sector and companies trying to cash on investor fancy for the sector. Good prospects for company in Solar Pumping Business due to schemes like PM KUSUM.
