India’s ReNew Energy Backs Higher Buyout Offer from Masdar, ADIA-Led Consortium
ReNew Energy Supports Revised Buyout Plan
India’s ReNew Energy has agreed in principle to a revised cash offer of $8.15 per share from a consortium led by Masdar, with backing from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and CPP Investments. This offer represents a 15.3% increase from the initial proposal made in December 2024. The new offer aims to acquire all outstanding shares of ReNew Energy that the group does not already own. If completed, the deal could lead to ReNew Energy’s delisting from the Nasdaq stock market.
Why This Deal Matters
The move comes as India’s ReNew Energy has struggled on Nasdaq since its 2021 listing. The company’s shares have not performed as expected, prompting management to explore strategic alternatives. Accepting this revised buyout offer could help ReNew go private, which may reduce market pressure and provide flexibility to focus on long-term goals.
Moreover, backing from major global investors such as Masdar and ADIA shows strong international confidence in India’s renewable energy market. It also reflects trust in ReNew Energy’s potential to expand its clean power projects in India and abroad.

Process and Next Steps
A special committee of independent directors at ReNew Energy has been formed to carefully assess the new offer. The committee is working closely with Rothschild & Co as financial advisor and Linklaters LLP as legal counsel.
Although the company has expressed its support for the revised offer, the deal is not yet final. It still needs to go through due diligence, formal documentation, and multiple regulatory approvals. Only after these steps can a final agreement be announced. If shareholders and regulators approve, ReNew Energy may officially delist from Nasdaq and continue as a private entity.
What to Watch Next
Investors are waiting to see whether the special committee will recommend the offer to shareholders. Some large investors have already indicated that they would support the deal if the committee endorses it. The market is also watching for updates on the final approval process, possible delisting, and its effect on ReNew’s growth plans.
Bottom Line
In short, India’s ReNew Energy has backed a stronger takeover offer worth $8.15 per share from a group led by Masdar and ADIA. The deal offers shareholders better value and may allow ReNew to refocus as a private company. While it’s not finalized yet, the move marks a big step toward reshaping the future of one of India’s leading clean energy players.
