State-run NLC and SJVN will likely list their green subsidiaries–NLC India Green Energy (NIGEL) and SJVN Green Energy (SGEL)–in 2025 through fresh equity offerings in 2025 to fund the expansion of their renewable energy projects, sources told FE.
One of these issues could materialise in the first half of the year.
The IPOs would result in equity dilution of around 15% by the promoters, the sources added.
“Next year, we will have more than one green IPO from state-run companies that carved out green assets into separate companies. NLC India Green and SJVN Green are leading candidates,” a senior official said.
Other potential listings in the coming years include NHPC Renewable Energy, CIL Navikarniya Urja and ONGC Green.
