The transaction is structured to boost two core pillars of the INOXGFL Group:

  • Inox Clean Energy Limited: Through its subsidiary, Inox Neo Energies, the group will acquire Wind World’s 600 MW operational wind IPP portfolio. These assets span seven wind-rich states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat.

  • Inox Green Energy Services Limited: This entity will take over the 4.5 GW wind O&M business, which currently manages a marquee client base featuring industry giants such as the Tata Group, ReNew, and Greenko Group.

  • Toward a greener future

    This acquisition is a major step in INOXGFL’s journey toward its "FY28 Vision," which aims for 10 GW of installed renewable IPP capacity and 11 GW of integrated solar manufacturing. By absorbing Wind World's O&M portfolio, Inox Green has cemented its position as India’s largest listed renewable O&M service provider, expanding its footprint beyond its existing 13.3 GW of assets under management.

    Group CFO Devansh Jain said that the acquisition of these high-quality operational assets would immediately enhance the group’s recurring revenue and cash flow profile. "This deal is not just about scale; it’s about securing high-value annuity income and deepening our partnerships with India's leading industrial houses," he stated.

    Resolution of a long-standing distress

    The announcement marks the culmination of a long-running insolvency process for Wind World India, which originally began in 2018 following a dispute between its founders and the German firm Enercon. Market analysts estimate the total bid value to be in the range of ₹1,800–1,900 crore.
