Continuum Green Energy is Set for its $430m IPO in
Post# of 107
Independent Indian power producer Continuum Green Energy has filed for a $430.26 million (36.5 billion rupees) initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as it seeks to take advantage of India’s surging hunger for energy. Continuum Green Energy identifies, develops, builds, and operates green energy projects in India with a focus on providing renewable energy to industrial and commercial consumers as well as power exchanges and central and state distribution utilities.
Currently one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters in Asia after China, India is working hard to limit its reliance on fossil fuels by boosting domestic renewable energy production. The country supplies most of its energy needs from coal, a cheap and easily accessible but incredibly polluting fossil fuel. The Indian government is looking to increase the country’s green energy capacity by at least 500 giga watts by 2030 to limit the country’s reliance on coal and cut its carbon emissions.
With a population of 1.45 billion people in 2022, India’s demand for cheap, clean energy is already gargantuan and will undoubtedly surge even higher as the country electrifies its most energy-intensive industries. Continuum Green Energy and other large players in India’s energy industry stand to make a killing from the country’s transition to green energy if they play their cards right.
As such, power producers are lining up and pledging to help India achieve its green energy needs by increasing their clean energy production capabilities. With the country using coal to provide most of its energy needs, the energy producers that can expand their capacity for renewable energy in time could potentially secure massive contracts to supply clean energy to the national grid.
Mumbai, India-based Continuum Green Energy will issue new stocks worth $14.72 billion and sell existing shares worth $282 million in its IPO, the draft prospectus says. The funding round could give Continuum the funding it needs to ramp up green energy production in anticipation of increased local demand. Renewable energy projects typically require enormous capital to start, but project owners can recoup their investments and rake in significant profits if they are connected to the grid as soon as they come online.
Continuum Green Energy registered a $68 million year-on-year loss in March 2024, up from $43 million in the fiscal year ended March 2023, but its annual revenue increased by more than 33% to $152.6 billion in the same period.
The green energy movement is picking up momentum around the world. As the demand for clean energy systems and components like stationary energy storage, solar panels and wind turbines grows, there will be pressure exerted on the supplies of the metals needed to produce those components. Companies like First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTCQB: FSTTF) focused on developing new mines for these minerals could reap significant returns in the years to come.
