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.

Kinetic Green, the EV-making arm of Kinetic group, has raised Rs 168 crore or $20 million in equity and debt from Greater Pacific Capital. This is the maiden investment round for the Pune-based company in 2024. The board at Kinetic Green has passed a special resolution to issue 10,100 non-convertible debentures to raise Rs 101 crore from Greater Pacific Capital, its regulatory filing with Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. At the same time, the firm has also mopped up Rs 67 crore in Series A by allocating 7,04,612 preference shares to the London-based investor. The Pune (Chinchwad)-based company will use these proceeds for the repayments of debt, overdue, capital expenditure, and sales cum marketing, the filings further added. As per TheKredible’s estimates, Kinetic Green has been valued at around Rs 1,467 crore or $176 million post-allotment. Additionally, the new investor will hold 4.58% of the company, the filings added. Kinetic Green offers electric three-wheelers and two-wheelers. It also has a partnership with the luxury brand Tonino Lamborghini for electric golf carts and buggies. Its top executive Sullaja Firodia Motwani said in February that the firm will invest Rs 100 crore to launch e-Luna. The company was reportedly in discussions to raise Rs 200-400 crore, and it may raise more capital in this round. During calendar year 2022-23, Kinetic Green claims to have sold 50,000 EVs. For FY25, the firm aims to sell 100,000 units and garner revenue of Rs 1,000 crore. It also aims to capture 12-15% market share in EV two-wheelers and three-wheelers segments. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Kinetic Green’s revenues spiked 50% to Rs 303 crore in FY23 with a mere loss of Rs 7 crore. The company is yet to file its annual results for FY24.
