No Immediate Plans for ONGC Green's IPO

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), India’s state-owned oil and gas giant, has no immediate plans to list its renewable energy subsidiary, ONGC Green Limited (OGL), on the stock exchange. The clarification follows speculation about a potential initial public offering (IPO) amid rising investor interest in renewable energy assets. In an official statement, ONGC noted, "The company is in the process of building a green energy portfolio as part of its growth strategy and future energy focus. Any decision on the public listing of ONGC Green Limited will be made by the ONGC Board at an appropriate time. Currently, no concrete plans are in place." ONGC Green has been actively growing its presence in the renewable energy sector. The company recently finalised a share purchase agreement to acquire a 100% stake in PTC Energy Limited (PEL) from PTC India Ltd. PEL operates wind energy projects with a total capacity of 288.80 MW spread across Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka. Further, ONGC Green has partnered with NTPC Green in a joint venture to explore opportunities in offshore wind projects, energy storage, green hydrogen, e-mobility, and asset acquisitions, marking its commitment to clean energy initiatives.
