Tata Comm is taking a direct stake in a Clean Max SPV for their Karnataka sites. It is a straightforward move to lock in renewable supply for captive use and hit their net zero targets.

The stake is 26% for 26,000 rupees. That valuation seems incredibly low for a power project, or it is a nominal entry fee for a specific contractual arrangement. Does anyone know the actual installed capacity of this SPV?

If the cost is really that low, it is likely a legal structure to satisfy captive power regulations in India rather than a capital investment in hardware. The real cost is probably in the PPA.

Captive consumption models are a smart way to bypass some of the volatility in open access markets. It shifts the incentive from just buying green credits to actually owning the generation asset.
