Sterlite Power Offloads 14.7% Stake in IndiGrid for Rs 8.4 Billion

Web Exclusive  /  Aug 17, 2020

Power transmission player Sterlite Power on Friday announced the successful sale of its 14.7 per cent stake in India Grid Trust (IndiGrid) to Institutional and high net worth individual (HNI) investors. Sterlite Power is the sponsor of IndiGrid, India’s first power sector InvIT, which saw its initial offer in 2017.

With this, Sterlite Power has sold a 14.7 per cent stake held by it in IndiGrid with the transaction valued at Rs 8.4 billion at a unit price of Rs 98.

Commenting on the transaction, Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director, Sterlite Power, said, “Sterlite Power is proud to have played a role in creating India’s first power sector InvIT, which has grown over the years with participation from marquee investors. We will now focus on our core business as the developer of power transmission assets. We remain committed to executing asset transfers of about Rs 65 billion as per the framework agreement with IndiGrid.”

“We firmly believe that InvITs will remain a powerful platform to meet the large-scale financing requirements of the infrastructure sector. The global financial markets will remain in a yield-seeking mode for a considerable period, and this will provide enough capital supply to well-managed REITs and InvITs”, he added.

Sterlite Power continues to remain a shareholder of Sterlite Investment Managers Ltd (SIML), the investment manager of IndiGrid. Having built a successful platform and completing the required lock-in period, the company will now focus on its core business as a developer of transmission assets in India and Brazil, two of the world’s largest markets for greenfield projects. The company enjoys a leading position in both these geographies.

Sterlite Power is increasingly focusing on transmission assets designed to evacuate renewable energy, and many of its assets under development connect the national grid to clean and green sources of power.

Agree. Developing a domestic transshipment port is a good idea if we talk about seaports, there are several countries and commercial centers around the world that don’t have a seaport and these countries have to use the seaports of other countries in order to import or export their cargo, which will give a competitive advantage.

Adhering to international best business practices with niche boutique firms could open doors to easily tap financing from institutional investors both debt and equity.
