Advisory for Renewable Energy Businesses in India

Samagra advises solar, wind, hybrid and green-energy platforms on SPV structuring, project finance, InvIT / platform structures, PPAs and regulatory strategy — from single-project SPVs to multi-GW platforms.

Overview

Renewables live at the intersection of long PPAs, regulatory tariffs, project debt and platform-level equity. Small choices in SPV, PPA and tax structure ripple through returns and eventual InvIT or strategic exit valuations.

Our renewable-energy practice combines project-finance, tax, corporate-law and dispute expertise to help sponsors bid, structure, finance and monetise projects and platforms.

Illustrative renewable energy scenario — succession & business-continuity planning

Typical situation — Promoters in a renewable energy business are planning inter-generational succession or key-person continuity — often triggered by a founder's transition, a new-generation entrant, or an external liquidity event on the horizon.

Key considerations — Discussions typically involve project-spv and holdco design, platform-level equity and jv structuring and invit and asset-monetisation structures, along with family constitution, trust or holdco design, ESOP / phantom-stock for non-family talent, and staged transfer of operational authority.

How Samagra may assist — Samagra may facilitate a structured family and management conversation, model succession alternatives, draft a family constitution and coordinate the tax, legal and secretarial execution over an agreed multi-year runway.

Illustrative renewable energy scenario — regulatory & compliance uplift

Typical situation — A renewable energy business is preparing for a fresh regulatory cycle — for example a sectoral licence renewal, a SEBI / RBI / MCA filing window, or heightened lender-covenant reporting — and needs to close historical gaps without disrupting operations.

Key considerations — Focus areas typically include debt syndication and consortium coordination, refinancing and bond issuances and dsra, tra and lender-security design, along with a compliance register refresh, event-based filing calendars, secretarial audit gaps and cross-checks between statutory records and management MIS.

How Samagra may assist — Samagra may support a compliance diagnostic, a remediation roadmap prioritised by risk, and coordinated CS, legal and tax execution to close gaps and set up an ongoing monitoring cadence.
