Renew Power’s public issue will also help boost India’s renewable energy target of 2022. With public sector banks refraining from debt financing, companies are looking towards more foreign funds. However, with an IPO, renewable energy companies will be more confident of raising funds from the Indian market. Though the IPO has been delayed (initially to be launched by the end of second half of 2018), ReNew Power has already got the SEBI green signal to move ahead with its IPO plans. The company plans to issue fresh shares worth Rs 2,600 crore in the offering. ReNew Power will be a good way for investors to play the growing renewable energy space in India.
