Japan's financial services firm Orix Corp. has announced its reentry into a share transfer agreement to sell its 17.5% stake in Greenko Energy Holdings to AM Green Power B.V. in one of India's largest transactions in the green energy sector. The deal, valued at $7.5 billion, also involves investing in convertible notes issued by AM Green B.V., owned by Greenko Group founders. Orix's capital recycling strategy aligns with this move.

The founders will collectively hold 28% of Greenko Energy post-transaction, with sovereign wealth funds holding the majority. Greenko Energy has a significant operational portfolio and is expanding into new business areas, including nuclear power and electrolyzer plants. AM Green is also venturing into green molecules production, aiming to produce 5 million tonnes per annum of green ammonia by 2026, with major offtake agreements already in place.
