Adani Green ties up $1.3 billion from a dozen banks

NEW DELHI: A dozen global banks are to bankroll Adani Green Energy Ltd’s under-construction

renewable power projects

with a $1.35 billion revolving

credit line

, the company said on Friday.


The finance facility would initially fund a 1.69 GW (gigawatt) hybrid portfolio of solar and wind power projects through four SPVs (special purpose vehicles) in Rajasthan.

The company claimed this as the first ‘certified green hybrid’ project loan in India. The liquidity will boost the company’s efforts to raise its capacity to 25 GW from a little over 3 GW at present over the next four years.

But the company still faces the challenge of finding buyers for an 8 GW manufacturing-linked renewable project it won last year with tariffs higher than current market trends. The project is to be set up in four phases of 2 GW each.

The dozen lenders include Standard Chartered Plc, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp and Barclays.
