Economic Times – US hedge fund Wexford Capital LP is looking to buy equity stakes in Indian hydroelectric power generation companies and has chalked out a plan to invest Rs 500 crore ($108+ million) in the country. The fund house will make investments through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Indus Renewable Energy India. At present, Indus Renewable Energy does not have any operations or any downstream investment.
A person familiar with Wexford’s expansion plans in India said Indus Renewable Energy has already sought approval from foreign investment promotion board(FIPB) to make investment.
