Suzlon FY26 Report Shows Cash Strength, Rising Receivables
Suzlon had more cash than debt at the end of FY26.
Its net cash position was ₹2,384 crore.
However, the company collected less cash from operations than its operating profit might suggest.
This difference was partly linked to changes in working capital.
Money owed by customers nearly doubled to ₹6,487 crore.
Auditors said recovering these receivables was an important issue to examine.
Suzlon also increased provisions for guarantees, maintenance, warranties and damages.
The board decided not to pay a dividend because it wanted to conserve resources.
Suzlon reported a net cash position of ₹2,384 crore in FY26.
Operating cash generation of ₹1,202 crore trailed operating profit before working-capital changes of ₹3,332 crore.
Trade receivables nearly doubled year-on-year to ₹6,487 crore from ₹3,866 crore.
Auditors identified receivable recoverability as a key audit matter, while related provisions rose to ₹827.93 crore.
The board recommended no FY26 dividend, citing resource conservation despite record profits.
