The collaboration marks the entry of MFL into the renewable energy space and highlights its unwavering commitment towards promoting green energy and reducing carbon footprint.

Meghmani Finechem has executed an Energy Subscription Agreement (ESA) and Share Subscription and Shareholder Agreement (SSSHA) for putting up an 18.34 MW wind-solar hybrid power plant in Gujarat under a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with Renew Green Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd.

MFL will hold 26% stake in the SPV for a contribution of Rs 20.54 crore and ReNew Green Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd will contribute Rs. 58.46 crore for a 74% stake.
