Solar Industries Reports Strong EPS Growth Amid Defence Sector Expansion

Solar Industries, traditionally an industrial explosives maker for mining and infrastructure, has evolved into a significant defence manufacturer with growing international presence. Between FY21 and FY25, its earnings per share grew at a 45% CAGR, and return on equity rose from 18% to 29%. Despite a recent slowdown in revenue growth, the company's order book exceeded Rs 21,200 crore, with a positive outlook from CRISIL. Future growth depends on order book conversion, the Pinaka rocket programme's commercial launch, and international defence expansion.
