Renewable energy will be the cornerstone of sustainable economic growth going forward and we at InoxGFL want to be at the forefront. With the government providing strong impetus to the industry,setting a target of about 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, and the rising demand across end user verticals, the promoters want to strengthen their position in the wind energy segment and hence have decided to infuse capital in the firm. This also aligns with the promoter’s objective of achieving net debt zero status for all their operating companies in the near future. We firmly believe that renewable energy will be the key driver in India’s growth story.”
“Inox Wind is at the cusp of a turnaround which is bolstered by special stimulus given by the government, rising demand from sectors across the country and increasing global awareness to achieve carbon neutrality. Inox aims to leverage its position in the evolving energy market and has taken significant steps to strengthen its foothold in the industry. The firm has kickstarted its growth by recently bagging 350 MW orders from NTPC, which is the largest order tendered by a PSU in the recent past. The fund infusion by the promoters will be a shot in the arm for the firm and will provide the much-needed impetus for growth. With the fund infusion and cash flow from operations, Inox Wind aims to become a net debt zero company in the near future”, said Mr. Kailash Tarachandani, CEO of Inox Wind Ltd.
