KPI Green to buy 507.9 MW wind assets for Rs 2,410 crore
The Story in Brief
KPI Green Energy has signed a binding offer to acquire 100% equity in Alfanar Energy and Netra Wind for an enterprise value of Rs 2,410 crore, adding 507.9 MW of operational wind projects in Gujarat's Kutch wind corridor. Business Today, Livemint, The Economic Times and CNBC-TV18 report the deal, KPI Green's first wind acquisition at this scale, is expected to close by 28 February 2027, subject to approvals. The acquired portfolios have power purchase agreements with the Solar Energy Corporation of India under 25-year contracts, with about 21 years of remaining life on a capacity-weighted basis.
Upon completion, KPI Green's installed IPP capacity will rise from 1.16 GW to about 1.67 GW. Chairman Dr Faruk Patel called it a 'defining moment' for the company. The Economic Times also notes KPI Green received a Rs 2,025 crore turnkey order from NACOF Oorja for a 500 MW solar project in Rajasthan on 29 September. Separately, The Hindu Businessline reports KP Group is planning a Rs 4,000 crore IPO of Sun Drops Energia within the next 10 to 12 months.
Update, 3 October 2026: The Hindu Businessline reports KP Group plans a Rs 4,000 crore IPO of Sun Drops Energia within the next 10 to 12 months, which would become the group's fourth listed entity. CNBC-TV18 adds that KPI Green shares gained for the fourth straight day on the acquisition news, and separately reports the Rs 2,025 crore solar EPC order from NACOF Oorja.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Coverage of the acquisition is uniform across Business Today, Livemint, The Economic Times, and CNBC-TV18, all reporting the same deal structure, enterprise value, capacity, and completion date. The Hindu Businessline adds a separate strategic story on KP Group's planned Rs 4,000 crore IPO for Sun Drops Energia, which is not an update to the acquisition but a forward-looking group-level development. The balanced reading confirms the acquisition is clearly structured and well-timed, with KPI Green's scrip reacting mildly negative on The Economic Times report. No source disputes the deal terms or raises concerns about regulatory hurdles.
The next concrete item to watch is the 28 February 2027 closing deadline, subject to lender, contractual and regulatory approvals, as all sources state.
