Orient Green Power Company Ltd has confirmed the use of ₹247.09 crore in net proceeds from its recent Rights Issue as of March 31, 2026. The company raised a total of ₹250 crore, with ₹247.09 crore remaining after expenses, and has now deployed these funds.
The latest report from CRISIL Ratings shows that ₹72.15 crore was allocated to the Phase-1 Solar Power Project (Delta), and ₹60.36 crore was provided as new loans to subsidiaries GGPPL and CWFPL. This deployment offers investors clarity on how the raised capital is being used for growth.
Significant operational adjustments have been made for the solar venture. The company's Board approved revisions to EPC contractors and project specifics. Delta Renewable Energy Private Limited, a subsidiary, underwent restructuring that affected its ownership status, though it remains classified as a subsidiary.
This report confirms Orient Green Power's commitment to its solar expansion strategy. The company previously raised ₹150 crore in April 2023, primarily for debt reduction and working capital, signaling ongoing efforts to strengthen its financial position and grow its renewable energy capacity, especially in solar power.
While the CRISIL report indicated no specific risks related to fund utilization, the approved changes in EPC contractors and project details for the solar venture mean these aspects warrant continued monitoring for potential impacts on execution timelines or costs.
Compared to peers like Adani Green Energy, JSW Energy, and Tata Power, which are aggressively expanding renewable capacities, Orient Green Power is focusing on deploying its raised funds into specific growth projects and subsidiary financing.
Key areas to watch moving forward include progress on the Delta solar project's execution and commissioning, the utilization of any remaining rights issue proceeds, future announcements on project modifications or subsidiary restructurings, and the company's ongoing debt levels and working capital management.
