Grasim Industries approves a composite arrangement to consolidate its renewable energy assets

Grasim Industries Ltd on Monday said its board has approved a composite scheme of arrangement involving Essel Mining & Industries Ltd and Aditya Birla Renewables Ltd, its wholly owned subsidiary, along

with certain group entities.

Under the scheme, the renewable energy undertaking of Essel Mining & Industries will be transferred to Aditya Birla Renewables on a slump sale basis, as a going concern, without assigning individual values to assets and liabilities. The transaction will be carried out in accordance with applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act.

The board also approved the amalgamation of Electrotherm Renewables Private Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Essel Mining, into Aditya Birla Renewables. In addition, three wholly owned subsidiaries of Aditya Birla Renewables — ABREL EPCCO Services Ltd, ABREL Renewables EPC Ltd and ABREL EPC Ltd — will be merged with the transferee company.

The proposed arrangement is aimed at creating a consolidated renewable energy platform with ancillary services, simplifying management and operational structures, and improving efficiencies through scale and synergies.

The scheme remains subject to approvals from shareholders and creditors, the National Company Law Tribunal, and other statutory and regulatory authorities.
