Nomura on Clean Max
Nomura said the skewed tariff structure in India’s power market results in commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers paying 60% – 120% more than subsidised segments.
According to the brokerage, this creates an opportunity for independent power producers (IPPs) such as Clean Max to undercut grid tariffs through direct power supply.
For customers, the C&I renewable energy model offers 20%-60% savings compared with grid tariffs, while developers benefit from higher equity returns due to the tariffs charged to C&I customers, Nomura said.
The Bloomberg analyst data shows a Buy rating from all six rated analysts covering the stock, with no Hold or Sell recommendations.
