Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals (GACL) has received board approval to form a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC) to set up a 60 MW Renewable Energy project. Initially, GACL will hold 49% and GMDC 51% in the SPV. After selecting a Renewable Energy Developer, the equity will be restructured with the developer holding 51%, GACL retaining at least 26%, and GMDC holding the balance (~33%). The power generated will be used by GACL for captive purposes. Both GACL and GMDC are promoted by the Government of Gujarat, making this a related party transaction done at arm's length. The SPV is expected to be set up shortly.
This move diversifies GACL's energy sourcing through captive renewable power, potentially reducing long-term power costs and supporting ESG goals. For shareholders, it signals a strategic push into green energy, though the dilution of GACL's stake to 26% means it will not have majority control of the SPV. The stock may see mild positive sentiment given the alignment with renewable energy trends.
