Chinese state-backed investment fund CNIC Corp is considering purchasing about a 10% stake in Greenko Group, one of India’s largest renewable energy companies, according to people familiar with the matter.
Greenko, whose backers include Singapore sovereign fund GIC Pte has been seeking to raise around $800 million by introducing a long-term investor, said one of the people.
The Indian company is planning to use the fresh funds to expand its energy storage capacity in the country during peak hours, in competition with coal-based power plants, the person said.
