Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Limited (IL&FS) has invited expressions of interest (EoI) to purchase 100% of Ramagiri Renewable Energy (a 6.5 MW wind project) and IL&FS Energy Development Company Limited's (IEDCL) fixed assets. IEDCL's total issued, subscribed, and paid-up share capital is held by IL&FS and its group companies, which account for 95.54%. At Ramagiri in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, Ramagiri Renewable Energy, a 100 % subsidiary of IEDCL, owns and operates a 6.5 MW wind project with 26 250 kW wind turbines. Since April 2019, the wind farm has been inactive. IEDCL also owns the project's fixed assets, which are used to collect meteorological and solar data. For meteorological data collection, a 100-meter lattice tower with a 300 mm tower diameter and face width was installed at the wind project, complete with 5 anemometers, two boom-mounted vanes, and temperature and pressure sensors. Solar irradiance measurement equipment, including a pyranometer and its levelling plate, an anemometer, and a wind direction vane, is also installed on the wind mast equipment to measure the solar potential at the site. The EoI is for the purchase of 100% of the 6.5 MW wind project as well as the fixed assets listed above. The deadline for bid submissions is 10th August 2021.

The bidder should not have been barred or restricted from making investments in India or its jurisdictions for incorporation and operations by any regulatory authority.
