Aditya Birla Renewables Seeks 1.5 Billion Rupee Loans for Shell India Acquisition
Aditya Birla Renewables is seeking 1.5 billion rupees in long-term loans to finance its acquisition of Shell Plc's Indian renewable energy arm, Solenergi Power, valued at 1.8 billion rupees. The company aims to replace a costlier 1.6 billion rupee bridge loan previously secured from MUFG Bank with longer-term project financing spread across multiple special purpose vehicles. The acquisition deal is pending closure, allowing time to finalize the financing structure, with Indian banks like SBI and HDFC Bank approached for funding.
