Apart from looking for partners for specific projects, the company will consider an equity partner for SunEdison`s India business as a whole, Pashupathy Gopalan, president of SunEdison Asia Pacific, said by telephone from New York.

India accounts for a fifth of SunEdison`s total business and is its largest market outside its home base.

SunEdison, once the fastest-growing U.S. renewable energy company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Thursday after a short-lived but aggressive binge of debt-fueled acquisitions proved unsustainable.
