The transaction is set for up to Rs7.9bn ($91.87m), while the acquisition cost is subject to closing adjustments, as reported by the Business Standard.
The transaction is subject to standard regulatory approvals, including from lenders, and is anticipated to close within three months, provided all conditions outlined in the definitive agreements are met.
The strategic move is expected to bolster Waaree’s position in the renewable energy sector.
EGPIPL is owned by Enel Green Power Development, one of Europe’s largest renewable energy companies. EGPIPL operates a diverse portfolio of solar and wind energy projects across India.
