IDFC Private Equity made the acquisition of the 100-MW portfolio of wind energy assets of BP Energy India through Green Infra Ltd.

Green Infra is an independent power producer with 100 per cent equity support from IDFC Private Equity that has committed Rs 360 crore to the renewable energy producer.

"So far we have disbursed Rs 200 crore to the company which include equity transaction to acquire the wind power firm," IDFC Private Equity Managing Director Satish Mandhana told reporters here.

He said the private equity investment manager would make further investment in the company based on the future requirement.

It intends to grow organically as well as inorganically through the acquisition of high quality performing assets and businesses, Jain said.

Besides wind energy, Jain said, the company would also focus on small hydro, biomass, energy efficiency and solar energy.
