Senior Research Analyst at Zee Business Varun Dubey said that a lot was happening not just in the company but also in the Group.

The news has emerged that promoters Shapoorji Pallonji Group and Daruvala Family may sell their stakes in this company. There could be full exit or partial exit by them, the details of which will be known later, Dubey said.

Many Private Equity funds like Brookfield and CPPIB are in contention for the stake sale, he further said. There are big business houses as well, including Ambani and Adani Groups, talks to whom are ongoing, Dubey further said.

The promoters’ stake in the company is around 69 per cent out of which 37.24 per cent has already been pledged. While Shapoorji Pallonji’s stake is around 51 per cent, the share of Daruvala family is around 14 per cent.

The promoters are planning to sell their stakes to reduce debts at the Group level, he added.

There are plans to bring down the debts levels between Rs 3000-Rs 4000 cr by the end of this year.

The company has around 257 solar projects accounting for 11.4 Gw. The company has presence in 26 countries.

The approval of stake sale has been done as part of one-time restructuring process.

The Shapoorji Pallonji Group has been reducing its debts at least in this company. The company has managed to reduce its debts by over Rs 2450 cr in this company since the time of its listing. There are term loans of Rs 70 cr that are to be paid to the banks.
