Toh hua yeh hai ki Blackrock ke under aayi Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) apni Vena Energy India platform ko bech rahi hai. Is platform mein 1.1 GW ki renewable energy capacity hai, aur deal ₹4,500 se ₹5,000 crore (yaani $535 million) tak jaa sakti hai. Ye assets kaafi attractive hain kyunki inke paas long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) hain, average 17 saal ke liye ₹4.5/kWh rate par. Platform mein abhi 957 MW operational aur 59 MW construction mein hai.
India ke bade naam jaise Jindal Renewables, INOXGFL Group, aur Edelweiss ki Sekura Energy ab full due diligence kar rahe hain. Binding bids agle mahine aane ki ummeed hai, matlab deal jaldi pakki ho sakti hai. GFL Limited, jo INOXGFL Group ka hissa hai, ka market cap ₹476.30 crore hai April 2026 tak, lekin iska P/E ratio 55.1 se 391 tak fluctuate kar raha hai. Jindal Renewables ne FY24 mein Rs 27.2 Cr ka revenue report kiya tha. Sekura Energy khud ek private infrastructure fund hai.
India ka renewable energy sector abhi toofani raftaar se badh raha hai. March 2026 tak, country ki non-fossil fuel capacity 283.46 GW cross kar gayi hai, jisme solar power ka bada role hai. India ne apna 50% non-fossil fuel capacity ka goal time se pehle hi achieve kar liya hai. FY 2025-26 mein record 45 GW solar capacity add hui hai, jiski wajah se aise M&A deals badh rahi hain.
Interesting baat yeh hai ki bade global players jaise Actis, Sembcorp, KKR, aur Macquarie is deal se pehle hi peeche hat gaye. Iska matlab yeh ho sakta hai ki valuation expectations match nahi hui ya unki strategy alag hai. KKR aur Sembcorp India mein active hain, lekin is deal se unka hatna ye dikhata hai ki woh ab selective ho rahe hain. GIP ne yeh platform pehle $5 billion mein kharida tha (Vena Energy India naam se pehle Equis Funds Group tha), toh abhi $480-$535 million ka valuation market conditions ko reflect karta hai.
₹4,500-5,000 crore ka valuation thoda sochne wala hai. Long-term PPAs wale renewable assets hamesha attractive hote hain, lekin domestic players ki competition price badha sakti hai. GFL Limited jaise companies ke P/E ratios bhi dikhate hain ki sector mein valuation ko lekar kuch complexity hai.
India ne 2030 tak 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity ka target rakha hai, isliye sector mein growth aur M&A deals aate rahenge. Market mein consolidation hogi, jahan companies scale badhana chahengi. Sector ab mature ho raha hai, aur valuations bhi 16.3x ke aas paas stabilize ho rahe hain, jo fundamentals par focus dikhata hai. Policy, technology, aur overall economy future deals ko influence karegi.
