ReNew promoters, Masdar revise offer to take it private
The consortium on Thursday increased its offer price to $8 per share, payable in cash compared with the original offer of $7.07 per share.
A filing by ReNew at the US Securities and Exchange Commission said: 'Our due diligence investigation has allowed us to assess the performance of the company and its outlook and refine our view on valuation. On that basis, the consortium is prepared to increase its offer price to US$8.00 per share, payable in cash, for the entire issued and to-be-issued share capital of the company not already owned by the members of the consortium.'
"Our revised proposal would provide the company's shareholders with a 26% premium to the closing share price of $6.34 per share on December 10, 2024 and a 39% premium to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of $5.76 per share (as of December 10, 2024)," it said.
Describing it as the "final non-binding offer", the filing said the revised proposal, which would provide shareholders with immediate liquidity and value certainty not available in public markets, would be in the best interest of the company and its shareholders, and the consortium trusts that it bears evidence of its willingness to take the transaction forward.
The consortium expects the special committee, its advisors and the company to engage with top shareholders to ensure their support of the transaction, it said.
In December last year, the consortium of promoters of ReNew Energy Global, including Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and founder Sumant Sinha, along with new investor Masdar, proposed to buy out the listed shares to take the company private.
CPPIB, ADIA and Sinha, together own 64% of the company. Masdar, the new investor, is a UAE government-backed renewable energy company.
The board of directors of the company formed a special committee led by Manoj Singh, the lead independent director, and comprising six independent non-executive directors, to consider the non-binding proposal.
The consortium has now proposed the revised offer to the special committee.
The role of the committee is to explore and evaluate all strategic capitalization and financing opportunities available to the company, including the proposal received from the consortium, and act in the interests of all investors.
The company in June reported a five-fold year-on-year jump in its profit in the quarter ended March. Its net profit for the fourth quarter of FY25 stood at ₹ 313.7 crore ($37 million) compared with ₹ 60.9 crore ($7 million) a year earlier.

Indian stock market: 8 things that changed for market over weekend- Gift Nifty, Trump tariffs to US-India trade talks
Indian stock market: The domestic equity market benchmark indices, Sensex and Nifty 50, are expected to open on a flat note Monday, tracking weak cues from global markets cautiousness around US President Donald Trump's tariffs deadline. Asian markets traded lower, while the US stock futures declined over Trump tariffs. This week, investors will focus on key stock market triggers, including US-India trade deal, Q1 results, the minutes of the US Federal Reserve's last meeting, and other key macroeconomic data that could dictate the short-term trend of the Indian stock market. On Friday, the India stock market indices ended higher, snapping their two-day losing run. The Sensex gained 193.42 points, or 0.23%, to close at 83,432.89, while the Nifty 50 settled 55.70 points, or 0.22%, higher at 25,461.00. 'With all eyes on the impending US-India trade deal as the tariff deadline approaches, participants are hopeful for a favorable outcome, which could provide the much-needed trigger for the next leg of the market up move. We recommend maintaining a 'buy on dips' approach until the Nifty decisively breaks below the 25,200 level, with a strong focus on stock selection,' said Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd. Despite the recent outperformance, the broader indices are still holding up well; however, one should remain cautious, given the potential for profit booking at higher levels, he added. Here are key global market cues for Sensex today: Asian markets traded lower on Monday amid much confusion as US officials flagged a delay on tariffs but failed to provide any details. Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 0.26% while the Topix fell 0.18%. South Korea's Kospi declined 0.48% and the Kosdaq slipped 0.5%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index futures indicated a lower opening. Gift Nifty was trading around 25,547 level, a premium of nearly 7 points from the Nifty futures' previous close, indicating a flat start for the Indian stock market indices. US stock market was closed on Friday on the eve of the US Independence Day holiday. US stock futures traded lower. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures declined 0.32%, S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 0.39% and 0.42%, respectively. During last week, the S&P 500 rallied 1.72%, the Nasdaq surged 1.62%, and the Dow Jones jumped 2.3%. India has set its red lines on key issues in sectors such as agriculture and dairy for the proposed interim trade agreement with the US, Mint reported, quoting sources. If issues are settled, an interim trade pact could be announced before July 9, which marks the end of the 90-day suspension period of the Trump tariffs announced on April 2 on dozens of countries, including India. US President Donald Trump and Cabinet officials confirmed that the tariffs will go into effect August 1, and not July 9. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that tariffs announced back in April will go into effect on August 1 for those countries that have yet to reach an agreement with the US. Crude oil prices declined after OPEC surprised markets by hiking output more than expected in August. Brent crude futures fell 1.2% to $67.48 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $65.64, down 2.03%. Gold prices dropped after US President Donald Trump signalled progress on multiple trade agreements and announced extended tariff reprieve for several countries. Spot gold price fell 0.3% to $3,323.71 per ounce, while US gold futures also declined 0.3% to $3,332.20. Dollar traded near multi-year lows with traders alert for any trade-related headlines in the countdown to Trump's tariff deadline. The dollar index, which measures the currency against those three rivals and three more major counterparts, was flat at 96.967, hovering above nearly 3-1/2-year trough of 96.373.
