On 12 February 2025, the British International Investment (BII) was pleased to announce that it has signed a share purchase agreement (SPA) with ONGC Green Private to sell Ayana Renewable Power, its pioneering renewable energy company in India. The deal is valued at USD 2.3 billion with Ayana boasting a portfolio of over 4 GW of operational and under-construction projects. ONGC Green Private is a 50:50 JV between ONGC and NTPC Green Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“BII launched Ayana in 2018 to play a catalytic role in accelerating the adoption of renewable power in India. In mobilising well over $1 billion in capital for the business over the last eight years, BII along with Eversource Capital and NIIF have achieved that goal.\u00a0I am excited for the future of Ayana and the wide range of opportunities in the market for BII to support India\u2019s drive towards net zero.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\nBII Asia Head Srini Nagarajan <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

It is to be recalled that BII created Ayana in 2018 as part of the efforts to accelerate the #EnergyTransition<\/a> in India. Since then, Ayana has attracted investments from both the public and private sectors. Currently, Ayana is majority-owned by National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) with a 51% share, while British International Investment has 32% stake and Eversource Capital holds the remaining 17%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India has committed to achieve #NetZero<\/a> by 2070 and to upscale the proportion of renewables in its national energy mix by at least 500 GW by 2030. Ayana has also been rated as the best-in-class ESG rating in Asia and is among the top three globally in the renewable energy sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“With Ayana well-positioned for its next phase of growth, this transaction enables us to unlock value while continuing to catalyse global institutional capital into transformative infrastructure opportunities. We look forward to seeing Ayana continue its momentum, building on the strong foundation we have established to further accelerate India\u2019s clean energy transition.”<\/p>\nNIIF Managing Partner Vinod Giri<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the seller’s side, Standard Chartered acted as transaction advisor while Khaitan & Co. and Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas acted as legal advisors. On the buyer’s side, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India acted as the transaction advisor while JSA Advocates & Solicitors provided legal support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the decarbonization drives accelerates in India and around the world, the appetite of investors for green deals has markedly increased. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
