Brokerages on CleanMax

Earlier, on September 23, Wall Street major Macquarie initiated coverage on Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions with an Outperform rating and a target price of Rs 1,700. Macquarie is the second brokerage to initiate coverage of the stock in two sessions, following JM Financial.

Macquarie expects CleanMax’s installed base to more than double to around 8 GW by FY29E. The brokerage sees repeat commercial and industrial (C&I) business and exposure to Data & AI transactions supporting growth and longer-term earnings upside in India’s underpenetrated C&I renewables market.

The brokerage estimates that C&I users account for more than 50% of electricity consumption, with two-thirds dependent on relatively expensive DISCOM supply. It expects renewable adoption in the segment to outpace demand growth as corporates look to lower costs, with potential savings of up to 35%, while also pursuing decarbonisation.

Macquarie views CleanMax as a corporate-energy platform rather than a conventional independent power producer (IPP), supported by around 600 customer relationships, multistate regulatory capabilities and integrated energy solutions.

It said repeat C&I business provides steady growth, while Data & AI transactions, which account for around 42% of contracted capacity, offer longer-term upside.

Macquarie expects sustained customer savings compared with conventional power procurement to support capacity additions at a faster pace than the market expects. Its 25%-weighted bull case assumes annual additions of more than 2 GW and an EBITDA CAGR of 60% or more over FY26-29E. The brokerage also flagged regulatory, execution and dilution risks.

JM Financial also has a Buy rating on Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, with a target price of Rs 1,501. The brokerage said CleanMax is well placed to capture the expansion of India’s corporate green-energy transition despite temporary headwinds from curtailment in CTU-connected projects.

JM Financial expects demand in the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment to remain robust, driven by rising electrification needs, increasing captive power demand amid utility power deficits and the rapid expansion of data centres.

The brokerage said CleanMax’s leadership in the C&I market and strong customer stickiness position the company to capitalize on the expected growth in C&I power demand. JM Financial values the stock at 10.5x FY28E run-rate EBITDA.
