Renew energy to hold 51 per cent equity under the partnership
Renew Power, as per the partnership agreement, will hold a majority 51 per cent equity under the partnership. The balance will be held by GS E&C.

“We are delighted to be partnering with GS E&C for this project, as both Renew Power and GS E&C are not only leaders in their respective businesses, but also bring excellent project execution and management skills. I expect the partnership to set new benchmarks in the Indian renewable energy space and look forward to executing more projects together,” noted Sumant Sinha, Renew Power’s chairman & MD.
“GS E&C and Renew Power will continue to play an important role achieving the country’s ambitious target for the transition to cleaner energy,” added Huh Yun Hong.
GS E&C is one of South Korea’s largest construction and development firms and part of the GS Group, with an asset base of over $58 billion.
