Insolation Energy Ltd- Forensic Analysis
- Insolation Energy (INA IN), originated from Jaipur, Rajasthan has been a beneficiary of the heavy solar tailwinds in the last two years and has been involved in major capex phase.
- The company has received big contracts such as the MoU with government to the tune of INR 100 bn in spite of having net worth of only INR 1.1 bn.
- As far as forensics is concerned, we notice several irregularities such as low capitalisations, misclassification of OCF, EPS, naïve accounting of investments, forex movements, strange movements in margins, etc.
