Adani Green Energy has announced the acquisition of a 51 percent equity share capital in Kodangal Solar Parks Private Limited (KSPPL), comprising a 20 MW solar project which was incorporated back in August 2015.

In a filing to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Adani Renewables mentioned that it has acquired the remaining equity stake in the solar project from FS India Devco Private Limited.

“KSPPL stake is acquired with an object of consolidating the company’s interest in KSPPL and within the overall objective of the company. With this acquisition, KSPPL has become wholly-owned subsidiary of the company,” the company stated in the filing.

According to the document, the amount paid by Adani Green for the acquisition of the 107,100 equity shares is ₹158.04 (~$2.24) per share, which totals to approximately ₹16.9 million ($239,000). The project is located in Bagewadi, Bijapur district in Karnataka, and will supply power to the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) at a tariff of ₹5.48/kWh ($0.077/kWh) for a period of 25 years.

Adani Green Energy had acquired 49 percent stake in Kodangal Solar Park on March 22, 2018. Accordingly, KSPPL had became a joint venture of the company.

In February 2018, the renewable energy business of Adani Enterprises was demerged into Adani Green Energy. Adani Green was incorporated in January 2015 and operates with 22 subsidiaries and associates. In June 2018, Mercom reported on the news of Adani Green being listed on the Indian stock exchanges.
