CCI Approves KKR's Rs 6,000 Crore Investment in PETRONAS-Backed Gentari Renewables
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved global investment firm KKR's acquisition of a stake in Gentari Renewables India, a clean energy platform owned by Malaysia's PETRONAS group. KKR will invest around Rs 6,000 crore through its affiliate Sapphire US HoldCo (USA), LLC. Gentari focuses on renewable energy generation and battery storage in India. This investment aligns with growing capital needs in India's renewable sector, where KKR already holds stakes in several clean energy companies. CCI approval ensures compliance with competition laws.
