Tata is said to be in talks to buy out investors in Resurgent
ADVERTISEMENT Tata Power Co., which owns a 26% stake in Singapore-based power generation and transmission firm Resurgent through a subsidiary, is working with an adviser to help buy the stakes held by ICICI Venture Funds Management Co., Kuwait Investment Authority and Oman Investment Authority, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks are confidential.
ICICI Venture, KIA and OIA, which hold 74% in Resurgent, are seeking a valuation of about $2.1 billion for the whole company, including debt, the people said. Discussions are ongoing and there's no certainty that an agreement will be reached, they said.
Representatives for Tata Power, ICICI Venture and OIA didn't reply to requests seeking comment. KIA declined to comment.
Resurgent Power's portfolio includes a stake of about 75% in Prayagraj Power Generation Co., as well as other power transmission operators in northern India, ICICI's website shows. KIA and a subsidiary of the Oman State General Reserve Fund, or SGRF, invested in Resurgent in 2019, when they bought out the shares from a unit of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, or CDPQ, which is now known as La Caisse. In 2020, SGRF merged with the Oman Investment Fund to form OIA.

CBG plant at Brahmapuram to be inaugurated by July-end
The Kochi Corporation's compressed biogas (CBG) plant at Brahmapuram will be inaugurated by the end of July. The progress of the project came up for discussion at the regional review meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Kottayam on Thursday (July 3, 2025). The trial run at the plant is currently under way. A tripartite agreement between the Kochi Corporation, the State government, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Kochi Refinery, has already been signed to operate the CBG plant, according to an official communication. The meeting observed that the commissioning of the 150-tonne plant, with a capacity to produce 15 tonnes of biogas would resolve the waste management crisis faced by Kochi to a great extent. The gas would be supplied to BPCL through a pipeline. Bio-bins have been deployed in all local bodies in Ernakulam district. Bio-mining at various centres is under way and will be completed in a time-bound manner. 'The CBG plant is intended to serve as a model, similar to the one in Indore. Initially, it will have the capacity to treat 75 tonnes of biodegradable waste per day, which will later be increased to 150 tonnes. While the proposed plant is expected to cater to the waste management needs of neighbouring local bodies in the future, in its initial phase, it will treat waste generated within the Kochi Corporation limits. At present, the Corporation generates over 150 tonnes of waste per day,' the communication said. Besides, a black soldier fly-based waste treatment unit with the capacity to process 100 tonnes of waste per day is also operational at Brahmapuram. Fabbco Biocycle Private Limited, a company that produces bio-manure by treating biodegradable waste using black soldier flies (BSF), exported 80 tonnes earlier this month to a Dubai-based company engaged in sustainable vertical farming, and another 75 tonnes to the local Kerala market. Exports have slowed with the onset of the monsoon due to increased moisture content. The company has since modified its machinery to reduce moisture in the biomanure and to ensure it remains in compliance with international standards in order to further boost its export potential, according to the authorities.
