据知情人士称，Actis LLP计划向印度的一项新可再生能源业务投资约20亿美元。随着该投资公司寻求把握亚洲第三大经济体激增的电力需求，印度可再生能源市场正展现出巨大潜力。
By Azman Usmani and Baiju Kalesh Actis LLP is planning to invest about $2 billion into a new renewable energy business in India, according to people familiar with the matter, as the investment firm seeks to tap surging power demand in Asia’s third-largest economy.
据Actis能源基础设施业务董事总经理Abhishek Bansal表示，这笔新投资将是Actis在印度打造的第四个清洁能源平台，并延续其以构建吉瓦级资产组合、实现战略退出为核心的业务模式。他拒绝对投资规模置评。
The new investment will be Actis’ fourth clean energy platform in India, extending a playbook centered on building gigawatt-scale portfolios for strategic exits, according to Abhishek Bansal, a managing director for energy infrastructure at Actis. He declined to comment on the size of the investment.
Bansal表示：“我们的战略是在印度从零或小规模基础起步打造资产，并将其扩展为拥有强劲现金流、优秀管理团队和充足增长项目储备的企业。”
“Our strategy in India involves building assets from zero or a small base and scale them into businesses with strong cashflows, strong management and a growth pipeline,” Bansal said.
他补充称，这笔新增资本投入将用于资助名为Leo Energies的新业务，帮助其收购和开发超过3吉瓦的太阳能、风能及电池储能资产。
The new capital outlay will help fund the new business, named Leo Energies, as it acquires and builds out more than 3 gigawatts of solar, wind and battery energy storage assets, Bansal added.
知情人士表示，Actis曾于2018年以约15.5亿美元将Ostro Energy出售给ReNew Power，并于2022年以15.5亿美元将Sprng Energy出售给Shell Plc；目前，该机构正在为其第三个可再生能源平台BluPine Energy筹备退出。由于此事属于私下信息，相关人士要求不具名。
Actis previously built and sold Ostro Energy to ReNew Power for about $1.55 billion in 2018 and Sprng Energy to Shell Plc for $1.55 billion in 2022, and is currently preparing an exit for its third renewable platform, BluPine Energy, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private.
此举凸显出全球私募股权和基础设施基金正在继续加大力度布局印度的可再生能源生态系统。
The move underscores how global private equity and infrastructure funds continue to double down on India’s renewable ecosystem.
