("IIP" or the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the "IIP Group")

 

Asset Sale

 

Infrastructure India plc, an AIM quoted infrastructure fund investing directly into assets in India, is pleased to announce that the IIP Group has entered into an agreement for the sale of Indian Energy Limited (the "Disposal").

 

Indian Energy Limited ("IEL") is wholly owned by the IIP Group and is an independent power producer that owns and operates wind farms, with 41.3MW of installed capacity at two sites in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

 

On 27 April 2018, IIP's wholly owned subsidiary Indian Energy (Mauritius) Limited entered into a binding conditional share purchase agreement (the "SPA") whereby the IIP Group has agreed the sale, subject to regulatory and other approvals, of its 100% interest in the share capital of IEL to ReNew Power Services Private Limited ("ReNew"). The cash consideration to be received by the IIP Group for the Disposal, to be paid on completion, is INR 364 million (approximately £3.97 million*). As at 30 September 2017, IEL had an unaudited carried value of £9.9 million. The sale has been achieved in a market that favours scale and the consideration reflects the prevailing discount for small portfolios.

 

The Disposal is expected to complete in approximately 60-90 days and the net proceeds of the Disposal will be used to pay down a proportion of the existing Company's debt.

 

Greenstone Energy Advisors acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the IIP Group for this transaction.

 

The Company looks forward to providing shareholders with further asset updates, as appropriate, in due course.
