Inox Clean Energy has acquired Vena Energy India’s renewable energy portfolio, significantly strengthening its presence in India’s fast-growing clean energy sector. The acquisition adds a substantial mix of operational, under-development and pipeline renewable assets, reinforcing the company’s long-term growth ambitions in solar, wind and energy storage.
The transaction marks another major milestone in Inox Clean Energy’s expansion strategy and is expected to accelerate the company’s journey towards becoming one of India’s leading renewable energy independent power producers (IPPs).
Acquisition Adds Operational and Development Assets
The acquired portfolio includes around 1 GW of operational renewable energy capacity, along with 1.7 GW of solar and wind projects in advanced stages of development. In addition, the platform comprises a pipeline of approximately 2.7 GW of future renewable projects across solar and wind segments.
The acquisition also strengthens Inox Clean Energy’s energy storage capabilities. The portfolio includes nearly 1.2 GWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity in advanced stages and an additional 1.3 GWh under development.
Following the transaction, Inox Clean Energy’s operational and near-operational portfolio is expected to rise to around 4 GW, while its overall project pipeline will exceed 12 GW.
Strengthening Integrated Renewable Energy Strategy
Commenting on the development, Devansh Jain, Executive Director, INOXGFL Group, said the acquisition aligns with the group’s “One Integrated” strategy aimed at strengthening its presence across the renewable energy value chain.
He noted that Inox Clean Energy is targeting annual capacity additions of more than 3 GW, while group companies such as Inox Wind and Inox Green are expected to benefit from the increased project execution and asset management opportunities generated through the expanding portfolio.
Portfolio Backed by Long-Term Power Agreements
A significant strength of the acquired assets is their backing through long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with reputable offtakers. These include the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL), various state distribution companies, and commercial and industrial consumers.
According to Akhil Jindal, Group CFO, INOXGFL Group, the portfolio offers a balanced combination of operational projects, near-term commissioning opportunities and long-term development assets, providing both immediate revenue generation and future growth potential.
Aggressive Expansion Through Strategic Acquisitions
The Vena Energy acquisition is the tenth deal completed by Inox Clean Energy within the past ten months. The company has been actively expanding its renewable energy footprint through a series of strategic acquisitions in India and overseas.
Recent transactions include the acquisition of Vibrant Energy, which added more than 1,300 MW of renewable assets focused on commercial and industrial consumers, as well as the purchase of a 300 MW operational solar portfolio from SunSource Energy.

The company has also expanded internationally through renewable energy investments in Africa and strengthened its solar manufacturing capabilities through the acquisition of solar manufacturing assets in the United States.
Focus on Long-Term Growth
Inox Clean Energy has set ambitious growth targets, aiming to achieve 10 GW of installed IPP capacity and 11 GW of integrated solar manufacturing capacity by FY28.
Industry experts view the acquisition as a significant step in consolidating Inox Clean Energy’s position in the renewable energy sector, while also reflecting the growing trend of large-scale consolidation and investment in India’s clean energy market.
With renewable energy demand continuing to rise and energy storage becoming increasingly important for grid stability, the company is expected to play a larger role in supporting India’s clean energy transition in the coming years.
