In a significant development for India’s renewable energy sector, Inox Green Energy Services Ltd. has announced a major comprehensive Operations & Maintenance (O&M) agreement. Signed on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, this deal covers 182 MW of wind energy projects belonging to one of the nation’s largest and most diversified conglomerates. The announcement led to a nearly 5% surge in Inox Green Energy’s shares, reflecting strong investor confidence.
Details of the Comprehensive O&M Agreement
This landmark contract deepens Inox Green Energy Services’ partnership with its key customer by bringing their entire fleet of wind assets under its comprehensive O&M management. The agreement encompasses two crucial aspects:
- 82 MW Conversion: A significant 82 MW of wind projects will be upgraded from limited-scope O&M to a comprehensive service model. This means Inox Green will now be responsible for a wider range of services, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of these assets.
- 100 MW Early Renewal: An additional 100 MW of wind projects, already under comprehensive O&M, have seen their contracts renewed ahead of schedule. This early renewal highlights the customer’s satisfaction and trust in Inox Green’s service delivery.
These projects are spread across multiple sites in Western India, leveraging shared infrastructure managed by Inox Green. The contract duration extends for the entire remaining operational life of these wind projects, solidifying a long-term revenue stream and partnership for Inox Green Energy Services.
Inox Green Energy’s Growing Portfolio and India’s Wind Energy Landscape
With this new agreement, Inox Green Energy Services reaffirms its position as a leading player in India’s renewable O&M sector. The company currently manages an impressive portfolio of over 5 GW of renewable assets, providing integrated O&M solutions across numerous wind farms. This extensive experience and proven track record were undoubtedly key factors in securing the renewed trust of such a prominent conglomerate.
The Indian renewable energy landscape continues to evolve rapidly. For the fiscal year 2025 (FY25), India has already seen bids for approximately 40 GW of AC capacity in renewable energy auctions. This includes a diverse mix of technologies, as highlighted by official reports from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and central regulatory bodies:
