Exclusive: Ayana Renewable to raise Rs 150 Cr from IL&FS Mutual Fund Renewable energy firm Ayana Renewable is set to raise Rs 150 crore (approximately $17.4 million) in debt from IL&FS Mutual Fund. This development came a month after the company had signed a share purchase agreement with ONGC-NTPC Joint Venture. The board at Ayana Renewable has passed a special resolution to issue 1,500 non-convertible debentures at an issue price of Rs 10,00,000 each to raise Rs 150 crore, its regulatory filing accessed from the RoC. The funds will be used for debt refinancing, subsidiary support in renewable projects, interest, loans, and other eligible infrastructure needs. Notably, the tenure of these debentures will be 3 years from the date of initial drawdown. Ayana Renewable operates as an asset-heavy IPP, developing and managing solar and wind projects with long-term PPAs. Backed by NIIF and global investors, it funds growth through equity, debt, and bonds while ensuring efficient operations and exploring hybrid energy, battery storage, and green hydrogen. Last month, NIIF, British International Investment, and Eversource Capital signed a share purchase agreement to sell their 100% stake to ONGC NTPC Green Pvt. Ltd. (ONGPL), a 50:50 JV of ONGC Green Ltd. (OGL) and NTPC Green Energy Ltd. (NGEL), for an enterprise value of $2.3 billion. For context, Ayana was set up by BII in 2018 and secured over $700 million from NIIF, BII, and Eversource to date. Last week, CCI approved the above-mentioned share agreement. Ayana's scale saw a modest 4% year-on-year growth to Rs 856 crore in FY24 from Rs 823 crore in FY23. However, the company's profits declined sharply by 42.3% to Rs 45 crore during the same period.

According to the press release, the IPO comprises 55,00,000 shares with a face value of Rs 10 each, priced in the range of Rs 181-191 per share. The lot size for the IPO is 600 equity shares, requiring a minimum investment of Rs 1,41,600 for investors looking to participate. 46% of the total share allocation (26,05,000 shares) is reserved for Qualified Institutional Buyers. High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs) will receive 7,82,400 equity shares, while market makers will be allocated 2,86,8000 shares. Retail investors will account for 33.17% of the total share allocation. The IPO issue will be open from 06th February to 10th February.

Founded by Ankit Garg, Solarium Green Energy Limited specializes in turnkey solar solutions. It offers services such as design, engineering, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning, and comprehensive operation and maintenance (O&M). The company claims to have executed 11,195 residential rooftop projects, 172 commercial and industrial (C&I) projects, and 17 government projects during April 2021 to September 2024. Solarium has reported a revenue of Rs 177.80 crore with net profits of Rs 15.59 crore during the fiscal year ended March 2024.

Vimano raises Rs 25 Cr in seed round led by Ankur Capital Nanotechnology startup Vimano has raised Rs 25 crore (around $3 million) in its seed round led by Ankur Capital. This is the first investment from Ankur Capital’s new third fund. The proceeds will be used to help them grow their team, start pilot projects, and set up manufacturing. Started in 2019 by Murari Ramkumar and Dr. Nagesh Kini, Vimano makes special membranes used in energy systems like redox flow batteries, fuel cells, and green hydrogen production. These membranes help store and use energy more efficiently. Its technology aims to reduce the cost of green hydrogen and make long-term energy storage cheaper. Vimano works on clean energy problems by making special materials that help electricity flow better. Its membrane technology can be changed to fit different uses, making it more useful and powerful. These membranes also waste less energy and last longer than many others available today. The startup is working with partners in the energy space to test and use its tech in real-world projects. According to Vimano, it aspires to speed up the shift to green energy and support industries looking for better ways to store and use clean power. In August last year, Ankur Capital had received commitments from two of its existing Limited Partners into its third fund. Since its inception, the VC firm has been backing deep technology innovations companies such as Captain Fresh, String Bio, Vegrow, Offgrid Energy Lab, BigHaat, Cropin, and Niramai.
