Purvah Green Power Private Limited is acquiring 1.4 GWp [1] of operating solar projects from ReNew Solar for ₹4,859 crore [1].
The transaction marks a significant expansion for the renewable energy platform of CESC Limited, which is part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group. By absorbing these assets, the company accelerates its transition toward a larger sustainable energy footprint in India.
The acquisition involves the transfer of existing operational solar plants. This move is designed to strengthen Purvah Green's sustainability position and scale its infrastructure rapidly through the purchase of established assets rather than relying solely on new construction.
Following the completion of the deal, Purvah Green's contracted capacity is expected to rise to approximately 4.8 GWp [3]. Additionally, the company's operational capacity is projected to exceed 1.8 GWp [4].
The deal reflects a broader trend of consolidation within the Indian renewable energy sector. Companies are increasingly acquiring operational plants to meet aggressive green energy targets and ensure immediate revenue streams from power generation.
Purvah Green operates as the strategic vehicle for CESC Limited to diversify its energy portfolio. The integration of ReNew Solar's assets allows the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group to increase its market share in the competitive solar landscape, a key component of India's national energy strategy.
