Trilegal advised on the qualified institutions placement (“QIP”) of equity shares by Adani Energy Solutions Limited (“AESL”), aggregating to INR 3,500 crore.
AESL, a part of the Adani portfolio, is one of India’s leading players in the transmission and distribution sector and India’s largest private sector transmission company.
The QIP reflects strong investor confidence in India’s power transmission and distribution sector, which continues to benefit from rising electricity demand, accelerated renewable energy integration, grid modernisation initiatives and sustained public and private investment in energy infrastructure.
Following the QIP by Adani Enterprises Limited on which we advised, this results in a total of INR 18,500 crores being raised by the Adani portfolio from equity capital markets through the QIP route in Q2FY27.
The proceeds of the QIP are proposed to be used towards funding the capital expenditure requirements of certain subsidiaries, repayment of certain borrowings availed by AESL and its subsidiaries and to fund inorganic growth through unidentified acquisitions.
Trilegal advised the placement agents, which included SBI Capital Markets Limited, ICICI Securities Limited, IIFL Capital Services Limited (formerly known as IIFL Securities Limited) and Jefferies India Private Limited.
The Trilegal Capital Markets team advising on the deal was led by Partners: Richa Choudhary and Maitreya Rajurkar; and comprised Counsel: Avanti Kale; Senior Associate: Sanya Chaudhari; and Associates, Samruddhi Varma, Harsh Handa, and Shreyansh Gupta.
