Sangam Renewables said that it has wrapped up the sale of its entire stake of 51% in WAACOX Energy Pvt Ltd (WEPL) to Aditya Birla Renewables (ABRel) for an amount of INR 465 million ($6.22 million).

With the acquisition of the stake, Aditya Birla Renewables, which already had a 49% stake in WAACOX Energy has now become its sole owner.

The power purchase agreements (PPA) of the solar power projects were signed with Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (Mahagenco) and Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (Mahadiscom).
