Last month, JSW Energy had announced the acquisition of Maruti Clean Coal and Power. The company said that it has signed a definitive agreement with Kolahai Infotech Private Ltd and SFI Parcel Services Private Ltd to acquire 100% equity shares of Maruti Clean Coal and Power Ltd.

Maruti Clean Coal and Power Limited owns and operates a 300 MW thermal power project in Chhattisgarh. The company raked in revenue of ₹787 crores from operations. This acquisition will aid the company in scaling and achieving its target. JSW Energy said that it has set a target to reach 30 GW capacity by FY 2030.

Even as it has inked the agreement, there are still some hurdles to acquiring the company that was established in 1999. JSW Energy needs approval from the Government of Chhattisgarh for the transfer of CSIDC land, in addition to approval from the existing lenders.
