What just happened

CESC Limited informed the stock exchanges that its subsidiary, Purvah Green Power Private Limited, has amended the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with ReNew Solar Power Private Limited. The acquisition of a 1.4 GWp renewable power portfolio will now be finalized by November 21, 2026, slightly extended from the previous October 31, 2026 target.

Transaction Overview

The deal encompasses the 100% acquisition of six special purpose vehicles including ReNew Hans Urja, ReNew Solar Photovoltaic, and various Karnataka and MP-based wind energy entities. This move is designed to integrate operational assets that provide immediate revenue visibility.

Financial Context

The transaction structure remains unchanged at an enterprise value of INR 4,859 crores. This figure excludes a contingent payment of INR 230 crores tied to potential change-in-law claims. The cash outflow on closing is pegged at INR 1,582 crores, covering both share capital and the infusion of unsecured promoter debt for repayment purposes.
