Moving on to news from the engineering sector, shares of Gensol Engineering surged 3% to Rs 971 apiece on 3 September after the company emerged as the lowest bidder for developing India's first bio-hydrogen project for a leading power generation company, in collaboration with Matrix Gas & Renewables.
The landmark project, to be established by the Gensol - Matrix consortium, will convert 25 tonnes of bio-waste into 1 tonne of hydrogen per day.
The project valued at Rs 1.6 bn, scheduled for completion within 18 months, marks a significant milestone in aligning with the National Green Hydrogen Mission for biomass to green hydrogen generation.
The scope of work involves establishing a facility for processing 25 tons of bio-waste per day and producing 1 ton of green hydrogen daily using the Pre-Gasification Plasma-Induced Radiant Energy-Based Gasification System (GH2-PREGS) technology.
Gensol and Matrix, both companies promoted by common promoters, will continue to collaborate in the Green Hydrogen sector and its derivatives, including Green Steel and Green Ammonia, leveraging the unique skill sets of each entity.
Established in 2012, Gensol Engineering Limited, is a leading player in the renewable energy sector specialising in solar power engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, along with electric mobility solutions.
Moving on to news from the energy sector, shares of Adani Green Energy fell over 1.5% on September 2 amid weak markets.
This is despite the company announcing that it has signed a binding agreement for a JV with TotalEnergies Renewables Singapore, involving an investment of US$ 444 million (m) into a new entity.
This comes after the company and the French oil major had inked a US$ 300 m deal to build renewable capacity in India, where the bulk of energy requirements are still met by coal.
The joint venture will house a 1,150 MWac (Mega-Watt Alternating Current) solar power portfolio in a mix of operational and under-execution assets, with a blend of both merchant-based as well as PPA-based projects. Adani Green and TotalEnergies will each own a 50% stake in the resultant entity.
The transaction details are under discussion and subject to customary approvals and conditions, the company added. TotalEnergies, through its affiliate entities, holds a nearly 20% stake in Adani Green.
For the quarter ended June, Adani Green Energy reported a 95% jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 6.3 bn, compared to a net profit of Rs 3.2 bn in the year-ago period.
