Larsen & Toubro has concluded the divestment of its 100 percent stake in the 99-megawatt hydroelectric power plant at Singoli-Bhatwari in Uttarakhand.

As per the terms, the EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and services conglomerate received a consideration of Rs 1,001.50 crore as divestment proceeds from Renew Power.
“This deal is in line with the company’s strategy to pursue the divestment path for all non-core assets in its portfolio,” it said in a statement on Tuesday.

D K Sen, Wholetime Director and Senior Executive Vice-President for development projects, said the company has identified non-core assets in Nabha Power, a 2×700 MW supercritical thermal power plant at Rajpura in Punjab for disinvestment.

L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Ltd — a subsidiary engaged in road projects and power transmission lines — and Hyderabad Metro — the largest public-private partnership project in the Metro rail sector — have also been identified for divestment.

“We will work out the divestment process of all these assets over a period of time,” he said. (ANI)
