Macquarie Group’s sale of 400 megawatts (MW) solar power projects of its Stride platform has drawn interest from three entities, with the potential deal likely to have an equity value of around $300 million, signalling continued interest in India’s green energy sector.
According to two people familiar with the matter, Gentari Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Malaysia’s state-run Petronas; private equity firm Actis Llp; and Sekura Energy Ltd, backed by Edelweiss Infrastructure Yield Plus Fund, have shown interest in Stride.
Bank of America Corp. (BofA) is running the sale process, which was launched in October. "The NBOs (non-binding offers) for Stride’s assets are expected to be submitted shortly. Gentari, Actis and Edelweiss are evaluating the deal," one of the two people said on the condition of anonymity.
The Stride platform, or Stride Climate Investments, has more than 415MW of renewable assets in India.
