To create largest listed renewable energy Company in India

Both Companies have entered into a non–binding Agreement with an exclusivity period of 90 days. At this stage, the Companies would like to clarify that any potential outcome is subject to due diligence, definitive documentation and approvals by regulators, creditors, shareholders and other stake holders.
