NCLT Clears Inox Wind Merger With Inox Wind Energy
16 Jun 2025 CW Team
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) Chandigarh bench has approved the merger of Inox Wind Energy Ltd (IWEL), a wholly owned subsidiary, into its parent firm Inox Wind Ltd (IWL), as per its order dated 10 June 2025. The move marks a significant structural overhaul for the INOXGFL Group, aimed at streamlining operations and improving financial resilience.
Under the approved scheme, IWEL shareholders will receive 632 equity shares of IWL, each with a face value of Rs 10, for every 10 shares held in IWEL. The record date for this share swap will be announced at a later stage, and allotment is expected within 1 to 1.5 months.
The consolidation simplifies the group’s corporate framework, eliminating a redundant holding structure and resulting in a debt reduction of approximately Rs 20.5 billion. The merged entity is expected to benefit from operational synergies, improved regulatory compliance, and cost optimisation.
This strategic restructuring coincides with IWL’s strong operational recovery. For FY25, the company reported revenue of Rs 37.02 billion, marking a twofold increase, while EBITDA rose 167 per cent to Rs 9.18 billion. Cash profit after tax surged nearly 800 per cent to Rs 7.34 billion. IWL also ended the fiscal year with a robust order book of around 3.2 GW, including 705 MW delivered in Q4.
The merger is positioned as a value-accretive initiative for shareholders and institutional investors, bolstering IWL’s capacity to capitalise on India’s expanding renewable energy market. The streamlined balance sheet enhances financial flexibility and supports future growth ambitions.
As the company enters FY26, it does so with strengthened fundamentals, a simplified capital structure, and momentum in execution. Investors can now look forward to updates on the record date, share allotment process, and performance trajectory, with the unified entity poised to play a leading role in India’s clean energy transition.
