Solarworld Energy Solutions has filed with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) to raise Rs.6 billion ($71.6 million). The offering includes a fresh equity issuance of Rs.5.5 billion ($65.6 million) and an offer-for-sale of Rs.500 million (~$5.9 million) from its promoter, Pioneer Facor IT Infradevelopers. Currently, promoters hold 82.15% of the equity stake, while public investors own 17.85%.

Based in Uttar Pradesh, Solarworld specializes in engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for solar power projects. The company has operational ground-mounted solar projects exceeding 500 MW and aims for a total of 5 GW by 2028. It is actively developing an additional 700 MW of solar projects.

Recently, Solarworld secured a contract with SJVN Green Energy to supply balance-of-system packages for two grid-connected solar projects totaling 360 MW in Gujarat. In July 2022, it had already entered a contract with SJVN for deploying a 75 MW project in Jalaun district and a 50 MW project in Kanpur district. The total cost of these contracts was estimated at Rs.6.91 billion (~$83.1 million), which includes end-to-end project delivery and maintenance for two years.

The IPO marks a significant step for Solarworld as it positions itself for growth in India's expanding renewable energy sector.
