On January 13, 2025, Waaree Energies shares rose approximately 3%, reaching a day-high of ₹2,648.00 at 11:00 AM on the BSE, after opening at ₹2,556.65. This gain followed the company’s announcement that it is acquiring a 100% stake in Enel Green Power India Private Ltd (EGPIPL) for ₹792 crore, marking a significant expansion of its footprint in the Indian renewable energy sector. Waaree Energies’ board approved the acquisition on January 10, 2025.
The acquisition is set to enhance Waaree’s portfolio with EGPIPL’s operational capacity of 640 MWAC (760 MWDC) from solar and wind energy plants. Additionally, EGPIPL is actively developing further renewable energy projects across India. This acquisition will strategically position Waaree Energies to scale its independent power producer (IPP) business, particularly in wind energy.
The transaction is expected to be finalized within the next three months, pending the fulfilment of conditions outlined in the definitive agreements.
EGPIPL, a subsidiary of Enel Green Power Development S.r.l., one of Europe’s largest renewable energy companies, has a diversified portfolio in India, including joint ventures with other partners. EGPIPL has demonstrated significant growth in recent years, reporting revenues of ₹112 crore in FY24, ₹266 crore in FY23, and ₹129 crore in FY22, with notable gains in the wind and solar energy sectors.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Enel Green Power India Private Ltd will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waaree Energies, further bolstering the company’s strategy to capture a larger share of India’s rapidly growing renewable energy market.
