The acquisitions will strengthen the company’s generation portfolio and deepen its presence in the thermal power sector, while also enabling it to gain strategic exposure to JPVL’s diversified energy and mining assets, Adani said. JPVL currently operates power generation assets with an aggregate capacity of 2,220 MW and also owns a 2 million tonnes per annum cement grinding unit.
The transaction is expected to be completed within 90 days from the NCLT approval date, subject to the “Effective Date” conditions under the approved resolution plan.
