Global Firms Eye 50% Stake in Gentari India
Gentari, a Malaysian energy company, is selling half of its business in India.
Several big companies like Macquarie, Actis, and Sembcorp, along with others, are interested in buying this part.
Gentari works with clean energy like solar and wind power, electric vehicle charging, and green hydrogen.
They want to sell this part of their business for a lot of money, but because they have a lot of debt, the actual value is less.
The person in charge of Gentari in India is Sharad Pungalia.
Many companies are interested in buying parts of businesses that work with clean energy in India because the country is growing fast in this area.
Global private equity firms and strategic investors are evaluating bids for a 50% stake in Gentari's India business.
Gentari is seeking an enterprise valuation of $2-2.5 billion, with an equity value of $600-700 million due to heavy debt.
The first round of bidding is expected towards the end of this month.
Gentari operates in renewable energy, EV charging networks, and green hydrogen sectors in India.
India is a key growth market for Gentari, with a renewable energy portfolio of about 7GW.
