The Aditya Birla Group, led by billionaire Kumar Birla, one of India's leading businessmen, has agreed to buy Shell's renewable energy business in India in a 1.8 billion dollar deal. According to the company's statement, within this scope, Aditya Birla Renewables will acquire 100 percent of Solenergi Power, the owner of Sprng Energy, which operates Shell's renewable energy assets.
The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year, following necessary regulatory approvals. This acquisition will add 5 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity to the group's existing 4.4-gigawatt portfolio, increasing its total power by more than twofold. The acquisition cost is planned to be financed through a mix of debt and equity provided by Grasim Industries and BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners.
