Key Takeaways from the Acquisition

• Adani Power acquires OTEPL as a wholly-owned subsidiary through the purchase of 10,000 equity shares.
• The acquisition aims to leverage OTEPL’s land for infrastructure development.
• The deal involves a cash transaction, and OTEPL's turnover has steadily decreased over the past three fiscal years.

Adani Power Limited (APL) has acquired Orissa Thermal Energy Private Limited (OTEPL), previously known as Padmaprabhu Commodity Trading Private Limited, by purchasing all 10,000 of its equity shares, each valued at Rs. 10. It was incorporated in July 2020 and is involved in commodity trading. Following this acquisition, OTEPL has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Power.
