Lightsource BP is a strategic partnership between LREHL and BP. The company has an international holding, with Lightsource BP having 51% holding and UK Climate Investments with 49% holding. Lightsource Renewable Energy India is a subsidiary of Lightsource BP.

The estimated transaction value is Rs 3.17 billion, with viable gap funding of Rs 98 million to be received by SECI to the company. The acquisition will be completed in two months after signing the power purchase agreement.
