Here are the details:
Rs 1.55 lakh crore fundraising plan
The board of REC on Wednesday gave a green signal to raise funds of up to Rs 1.55 lakh crore through the private placement of unsecured/secured non-convertible bonds or debentures.
The fundraising is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) and will be executed in one or more tranches over a one-year period following the AGM resolution, pending approval from competent authorities.
SPV strike-off: Rajgarh III Power Transmission Ltd
In another key development, REC also approved the proposal to strike off Rajgarh III Power Transmission Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of REC Power Development and Consultancy Limited (RECPDCL).
This SPV was originally created under the Tariff-Based Competitive Bidding (TBCB) mechanism to execute the “Transmission system for Evacuation of Power from RE Projects in Rajgarh (1500 MW) SEZ in Madhya Pradesh – Phase III”.
However, following a recommendation from the National Committee on Transmission (NCT) to merge the project with another transmission scheme, the Ministry of Power de-notified the project via an official communication dated March 18, 2025. In response, REC has decided to dissolve the SPV, subject to the necessary statutory and administrative approvals.
