Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL), as part of its monetization plans, has agreed to divest the 1000 MW 4(250x MW) unit of Jindal Power (JPL), located in Chhattisgarh in favour of JSW Energy. JSPL has been looking to generate cash flows from select divestments to be in much stronger position to meet all its liabilities and emerge as financially strong and sustainable company in 2016-2017.

The board has approved the divestment of 1000 MW Power unit of Jindal Power, located in Chhattisgarh, into a special purpose vehicle (SPV), for the purposes of transferring the same to JSW Energy through sale of the entire share capital and other securities of the aforesaid entity in terms of the share purchase agreement for an enterprise value of Rs 6,500 crore plus the value of net current assets as on the closing date. The valuation may vary based upon the achievement of PPAs as prescribed in the agreement subject to minimum of Rs 4,000 crore plus the value of net current assets as on the closing date.

The restructuring will entail that 1000 MW Power Plant owned by JPL is hived off into an separate purpose vehicle (SPV), being subsidiary of JSPL and creation of other SPVs amenable for monetization by way of divestments as well as achieve better synergy across the group. This would further ensure that the businesses of these entities are operated in the most efficient and cost effective manner, including by pooling of technical, distribution and marketing skills, creating optimal utilization of resources, better administration and cost reduction.
