The NTPC-ONGC green joint venture is making waves in the renewable energy sector, emerging as the highest bidder for Ayana Renewable Power at a whopping $650 million. Now, if that doesn’t sound like a power play, I don’t know what does! This partnership between two of India’s largest public sector undertakings (PSUs) marks a significant step toward expanding their green energy portfolios.
Let’s break this down. NTPC Green Energy and ONGC Green Energy are not just dabbling in renewables; they’re diving headfirst into the deep end. Their joint venture aims to explore greenfield projects and acquisition opportunities both domestically and internationally. With plans to tap into storage solutions, e-mobility, and even offshore wind projects, these companies are gearing up to not just keep pace but potentially lead in the renewable energy race.
What’s particularly interesting is the timing of this move. Just as NTPC Green prepares for its initial public offering (IPO), which opens on November 19, this acquisition could provide a solid foundation for growth and investor confidence. It’s like launching a new product while simultaneously acquiring a well-respected brand—talk about synergy!
Moreover, this joint venture comes at a time when the global demand for renewable energy solutions is skyrocketing. As countries scramble to meet climate commitments, India’s proactive approach could position it as a key player in the global market.
Actionable Points for CEOs
- Consider Strategic Alliances: Look into forming partnerships or joint ventures that can help leverage resources and expertise in renewable energy.

Indian Example
- Greenko Group provides a compelling example of strategic diversification in the renewable energy sector. As one of India’s leading independent renewable energy companies, Greenko has successfully expanded its portfolio across wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. Through strategic acquisitions and investments in innovative technologies, Greenko has enhanced its capacity and operational efficiency. For instance, their acquisition of ReNew Power’s wind assets has significantly bolstered their renewable energy footprint, demonstrating how integrating diverse renewable sources can drive sustainable growth and operational resilience.
