About Greenko Group
Greenko Group is a Hyderabad-headquartered renewable energy and energy storage company that develops, owns and operates wind, solar and hydroelectric power plants and large pumped storage projects across India. Its integrated renewable energy storage projects combine solar and wind generation with pumped hydro storage to supply schedulable, round-the-clock carbon-free power, which it markets through what it calls an Intelligent Energy Storage Cloud Platform. Customers are state and central electricity utilities and large industrial and commercial power buyers, and Greenko earns revenue from long-term power purchase and storage contracts. At March 2025 it operated about 7.3 GW of installed solar, wind and hydro capacity and had completed a 1.7 GW pumped storage project in Andhra Pradesh. Singapore's GIC owns about 58 percent and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority about 14 percent, while the founders, directly and through AM Green, hold about 28 percent after buying most of ORIX's stake in 2025. Greenko was listed on London's AIM market from 2007 until GIC took control in 2015. The company was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli.

Greenko Group Acquisition
Greenko Group was acquired by GIC for an undisclosed price on 19 October 2015.
Before the acquisition Greenko Group had raised $3.1B across 8 funding rounds.
Greenko Energy Holdings, an affiliate of Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC, announced on October 19, 2015 its acquisition of Greenko Group plc's majority interest in Greenko Mauritius, the holding company of Greenko's Indian operating business, for approximately GBP 162.8 million. The transaction took the operating business private: AIM-listed Greenko Group plc returned the proceeds to its shareholders and cancelled its listing. Chief executive Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and president Mahesh Kolli continued to run the business and remained significant shareholders alongside GIC. Fitch said GIC's ownership would improve Greenko's access to bank and capital markets and bring tighter risk management. GIC had first invested in Greenko in 2013 and used the platform to expand in Indian renewable energy; the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority joined as a shareholder in 2016. Greenko, based in Hyderabad, operated wind, hydro and other clean energy assets across India. The company was founded in 2006.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 2025 | Secondary | AM Green Group (lead) | $1.4B | $7.5B | Greenko Group operates a leading renewable energy platform in India with over 10 GW of operational renewable capacity and pumped storage assets, on track to develop the world’s largest Intelligent Energy Storage Cloud Platform with more than 100 GWh of daily storage capacity by 2030. AM Green Group, founded by Greenko co-founders Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli, is building a fully integrated Power-to-X platform including green hydrogen, green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuels, and biofuels, with plans to produce 5 million tonnes per annum of green ammonia by 2030 and its first 1 MTPA project under construction in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. AM Green BV, through its subsidiary AM Green Power BV, signed definitive agreements on June 30, 2025, to acquire a 17.5% equity stake in Greenko Energy Holdings from ORIX Corporation for approximately $1.4 billion, valuing Greenko at $7.5 billion. Post-closing in July 2025, AM Green along with its promoters will hold approximately 25% stake in Greenko. ORIX is also investing in a convertible note in AM Green’s parent company for about $731 million to $750 million, securing around 10% equity exposure to AM Green’s green molecules business. This transaction strengthens AM Green’s upstream integration with Greenko’s renewable assets and aligns with ORIX’s capital recycling strategy into next-generation energy sectors. Greenko’s major shareholders include GIC at 58% and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority at 14%. AM Green has secured supply term sheets for green ammonia with Uniper SE and Yara Clean Ammonia, and long-term power purchase agreements for round-the-clock carbon-free energy. |
| Mar 2023 | Undisclosed stage | ORIX; Abu Dhabi Investment Authority; GIC; Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty; Mahesh Kolli | $700M | $7B | Greenko Group, a Hyderabad-based renewable energy producer, raised $700 million through a rights issue from existing investors including GIC (52% owner), founders Anil Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli (12%), Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (14%), and ORIX, valuing the company at $7 billion as of early March 2023. This rights issue maintained the current shareholding structure and positioned Greenko as India's second-most valuable renewable power company after Adani Green. At the time of the round, Greenko's operating portfolio stood at 7.3 GW across 114 projects in 15 states. For FY23 ended March 31, 2023, the company reported consolidated revenue of $723.05 million and EBITDA of $570.24 million, reflecting growth in its wind, solar, and hydro segments. The company was also repaying $1 billion in bonds using bridge loans and internal cash flows, while ramping up capex for integrated renewable energy storage projects (IRESPs) requiring $2 billion through FY25. |
| Sep 2020 | Undisclosed stage | ORIX (lead) | $980M | $4.9B | Japan's ORIX Corporation signed a framework agreement in September 2020 to acquire approximately 20 percent of Greenko Energy Holdings for about USD 980 million through a combination of primary and secondary share purchases. As part of the transaction ORIX contributed its Indian wind energy portfolio of 873 MW to Greenko in exchange for shares. The deal completed in March 2021, when ORIX reported holding about 21.8 percent of Greenko for a total of approximately USD 961 million, alongside majority owner GIC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. The investment gave ORIX exposure to Greenko's pumped-storage-based integrated renewable projects. Greenko, headquartered in Hyderabad, operated a portfolio of wind, solar and hydro plants and was developing large integrated renewable energy storage projects. The company was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli. ORIX sold most of this stake to AM Green in 2025. |
| Jul 2019 | Undisclosed stage | Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (lead); GIC (lead) | $329M | $5.2B | Greenko Group is one of India's leading renewable energy companies, specializing in wind, solar, and hydro projects, with an operational capacity of over 4.2 GW (DC capacity 4.7 GW) as of mid-2019 and more than 7 GW under construction. The company is pivoting towards integrated renewable energy projects (IREP) with storage, including 2.4 GW of storage projects with a $2 billion capital outlay, expected operational by 2022, to provide schedulable power competing with thermal assets. In July 2019, Greenko announced a primary equity raising of $824 million via rights issue from affiliates of GIC and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), building on a prior $495 million infusion in June 2019, with funds allocated to IREP capex and opportunistic acquisitions. This July 2019 round followed earlier investments by the same investors, including $447 million in 2018 and $155 million previously, bringing total commitments from GIC and ADIA to around $2 billion, with GIC maintaining majority shareholding at over 60%. Sources from early 2019, such as February reports on a $550 million infusion, indicate Greenko's enterprise valuation reached $5.2 billion when combined with $3.2 billion in debt, a figure reiterated in June 2019 contexts ahead of the full $824 million close. Greenko has pursued aggressive expansion through acquisitions like Skeiron Green Renewables, 907 MW from Orange Renewables, and Pennar Renewables, alongside projects like the 200 MW Poovani wind farm. The company aims to deliver over 15 billion units of schedulable power generation. |
| Jun 2018 | Undisclosed stage | Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (lead); GIC (lead) | $450M | - | Greenko Energy Holdings signed a definitive agreement in June 2018 to raise USD 447 million of primary equity from an affiliate of GIC and an entity wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. GIC invested USD 316.1 million, the ADIA entity USD 79.3 million and Greenko Ventures, the founders' vehicle, USD 52 million, and GIC kept its majority stake. The raise came shortly after Greenko agreed to acquire Orange Renewable for USD 922 million, adding about 1 GW of operating wind and solar capacity. The capital supported Greenko's shift toward integrated renewable energy projects that combine solar, wind and pumped hydro storage to supply schedulable power. The Hyderabad-based company had grown into one of India's largest renewable generators through acquisitions and greenfield development. Greenko was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli. GIC and ADIA followed with a further USD 824 million of equity commitments in 2019. |
| Mar 2017 | Undisclosed stage | GIC (lead); Abu Dhabi Investment Authority | $155M | - | Greenko Energy Holdings signed definitive agreements on March 27, 2017 for a primary equity raise of USD 155 million from affiliates of its existing shareholders GIC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. GIC, the majority shareholder, invested USD 123.9 million and the ADIA subsidiary USD 31.1 million. The round took total equity invested in the company to USD 1 billion, with promoters Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli holding about 25 percent afterwards. Greenko said the funds would help it reach 3 GW of installed capacity by December 2017 from about 2.5 GW, and management said it did not expect to raise further equity for organic growth, only for acquisitions. The Hyderabad-based company owned and operated wind, solar and hydro projects across nine Indian states. It had recently agreed to buy SunEdison's Indian solar and wind portfolio. Greenko was founded in 2006 and has been controlled by GIC since 2015. |
| Jun 2016 | Undisclosed stage | Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (lead); GIC (lead) | $230M | $1B | Greenko Energy Holdings raised USD 230 million of primary equity in 2016 from an affiliate of Singapore's GIC and an entity owned by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, announced on June 7, 2016. GIC invested its USD 80 million share in March 2016 and the ADIA entity invested the remaining USD 150 million, marking ADIA's entry as a shareholder. GIC remained Greenko's majority shareholder after the transaction, having taken control of the business in 2015. The company said the funds would support continued growth through new renewable energy projects, including low-risk expansions of existing wind farms. Greenko, based in Hyderabad, owned and operated a diversified portfolio of wind, small hydro and other clean energy assets across India. The company was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli and had been listed on London's AIM market until GIC's 2015 takeover. GIC and ADIA went on to provide several further equity rounds in 2017, 2018 and 2019. |
| Mar 2013 | Undisclosed stage | GIC (lead) | $151M | - | The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) agreed in March 2013 to invest GBP 100 million in Greenko Group, the AIM-listed Indian clean energy producer, in exchange for a minority stake of at least 19.5 percent. The investment was GIC's first in Greenko. The capital was intended to fund Greenko's growth in wind and hydro power generation across India. Greenko at the time owned and operated a portfolio of hydro, wind, biomass and gas-fired power assets, with a pipeline of greenfield and acquired projects. GIC's minority position became the basis for its later control: in 2015 a GIC affiliate acquired Greenko Group plc's majority interest in the operating business, taking Greenko private, and GIC has remained the majority shareholder since. The Hyderabad-based company was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli. |
| Jan 2010 | Undisclosed stage | TPG (lead) | $117M | - | Greenko Group, then listed on London's AIM market, raised approximately GBP 72 million in January 2010 through a placing of 51.4 million new shares with institutional and other investors at 140 pence per share. TPG took a stake of about GBP 21 million in the placing, around USD 35 million, which was the private equity firm's first significant investment in India's clean energy sector. Other participants included Greenko's original backer, the Aloe Environment Fund. Greenko said the proceeds would help it reach its near-term strategic objectives. At the time Greenko was known as a prominent Indian biomass power generator and was building a wider portfolio of clean energy projects. The Hyderabad-based company was founded in 2006 by Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty and Mahesh Kolli. GIC later became its largest shareholder and took the business private in 2015. |
