 MTL is set to deliver 1,230 megawatts of electricity from Adani Power Ltd.'s forthcoming 1,600 MW expansion units located in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh, which will be connected to the state grid, as indicated in a filing with the stock exchange.

This acquisition is proposed to further AESL’s strategy for enhancing value for its shareholders through organic as well as inorganic opportunities, according to reports.

Equity shares of Mahan Transmission are being purchased at a nominal value of Rs 10 each. Adani Energy Solutions' stock rose by 8.3 percent, closing at Rs 870 per share.

Adani Energy Solutions has been identified as the successful developer for this project within the framework of tariff-based competitive bidding, with the RECPDCL serving as the coordinator for the bidding process. RECPDCL is a subsidiary of the government-owned REC Ltd.

Last week, AESL won a Rs 2,800 crore worth power transmission project in Gujarat. The project, to be delivered to the nation in 36 months, will supply green electrons for manufacturing Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia in Mundra.
