ReNew Makes Asset Recycling Core To Growth Strategy

ReNew Energy Global has placed asset recycling at the centre of its growth strategy, planning to sell up to one GW of operational projects annually while commissioning around three GW of new capacity each year through 2030. In March 2026 it agreed to divest its sole commissioned project in Tamil Nadu, a 100 MW/117.5 MWp solar facility, to Technique Solaire Group at an enterprise value of $49 million ($49 mn). The company intends to mature assets under long?term power purchase agreements and monetise them to release capital for new development.

The approach is already evident in a recent disposal of 1.4 GW of operational renewable assets in Rajasthan and Karnataka to CESC at an enterprise value of Rs 48.59 billion (Rs 48.59 bn), a transaction that is expected to reduce group debt by about Rs 35 bn. ReNew reported net debt of Rs 671.2 billion (Rs 671.2 bn) and gross debt of Rs 786.11 billion (Rs 786.11 bn) as of June 30, and faces bond maturities of Rs 56 bn in FY27 and Rs 33 bn in FY28 alongside long?term maturities of roughly Rs 32 bn in each year. Asset sales therefore form one leg of a broader capital plan to lower leverage.

Management is pursuing refinancing that could cut the average cost of debt by 50 to 75 basis points, with the present average cost of debt at around 8.9 per cent. Earlier this year the company raised an $800 million offshore loan to refinance liabilities linked to a hybrid power project, and the manufacturing unit may in future raise equity to ease consolidated leverage. More transactions are under consideration, including a 100 MW hydroelectric project in Uttarakhand and selected transmission assets.

The model allows ReNew to separate development economics from long?term ownership and to recycle capital into its pipeline while limiting incremental borrowing. As of June 30, 2026 the group had a portfolio of 20.5 GW of renewable capacity including one point seven GW and six point two GWh of battery energy storage, with operational capacity of 13.1 GW and module and cell manufacturing capacities of four GW and two point five GW respectively. In Q1 FY27 net profit rose sixteen per cent to Rs 5.953 billion (Rs 5.953 bn) and total income increased sixteen per cent to Rs 47.864 billion (Rs 47.864 bn), while bids to take the company private add another layer to strategic options.
