Inox Clean Energy Nears Rs 2,500 Crore Acquisition of Athena Renewables
Inox Clean Energy is nearing the acquisition of Athena Renewables from UK-based fund Actis for around Rs 2,500 crore. The deal, close to conclusion with an in-principle agreement, would increase Inox's operational renewable energy capacity to nearly 5 GW. Athena operates four solar power plants totaling over 554 MW. This acquisition aligns with Inox's strategy to expand rapidly ahead of a planned initial public offering. Multiple bidders had shown interest in Athena, which Actis acquired in 2020.
