In a release issued today, Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company (IHC) announced that it had signed the agreement to invest US$ 2 billion as primary capital in three Adani portfolio companies. The investment will be made through the preferential allotment route.

Under the agreement signed with Adani Group, IHC will invest US$ 500 million in Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), US$ 500 million in Adani Transmission Ltd (ATL), and US$ 1 billion in Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL).
The capital will be utilized for pursuing the growth of the respective businesses, further strengthening of the balance sheet and for general corporate purposes.
The transaction is expected to be completed in a month after all necessary approvals are obtained.
Earlier today, the boards of AGEL, ATL, and AEL met and approved the transaction. The investment is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and shall comply with SEBI regulations.

This is a landmark transaction and marks a start of a wider relationship between Adani Group and IHC and attracting further investment from UAE into India.”
Syed Basar Shueb, CEO and managing director of IHC, said, “This will be a long-term investment in India as the country is driving much innovation globally, including the green energy sector. The opportunity to earn a compelling return on investment in green energy has never been greater. We are confident that Adani companies will play a significant role in unleashing India’s total green energy potential, reflecting positively on our shareholders’ commitment.”
