This fund raise follows IndiGrid’s preferential issue of INR 438 crore completed in November 2025.

Post the issuance, IndiGrid’s net debt to AUM will be ~57% which will provide a growth runway of up to ~INR 45,000 crore of Assets Under Management (AUM), while being within the leverage cap of 70%.

IndiGrid continues to build a strong and diversified growth pipeline across transmission, renewables and energy storage. As on date, the platform has nine projects under construction across IndiGrid and its sponsored development platform, EnerGrid, with total capital expenditure of ~INR 7,500 crores. Furthermore, during the year, IndiGrid announced the signing of definitive agreements for the acquisition of Gadag Transmission Limited (GTL) from ReNew Power, with the transaction expected to be consummated within the current fiscal, as well as for the acquisition of the under-construction NERES XVI Power Transmission Limited (NPTL) project from Techno Electric, post its commissioning.

In addition to the committed pipeline, IndiGrid and EnerGrid continue to evaluate operational acquisition and greenfield opportunities, respectively, that align with their overall risk-return framework within the energy sector.

Harsh Shah, Managing Director of IndiGrid, said: We are grateful to our unitholders for their continued confidence in IndiGrid.
