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.

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: Net profit jumps over fivefold to ₹190 crore

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.
