Try Dealroom →, converting a US$13.6M (roughly $10.5 million) inter-corporate deposit into equity. Authum received 10 crore shares with a face value of US$0.14 each on October 9, 2026.
What's the context? The move is part of a wider resolution plan for Wind World (India), which a consortium led by Inox Neo Energies and Authum won. Authum has separately fulfilled its full US$47.5M commitment to buy identified Wind World assets.
Why now? The National Company Law Tribunal approved the overall plan on July 27, 2026, but not the embedded scheme of arrangement. The consortium used built-in flexibility to design a revised structure, approved on August 31, that routed Authum's investment through Vibhav Energy via an inter-corporate deposit dated September 28.
What does Vibhav do? Incorporated in 2017 and based in Vadodara, Gujarat, it provides operation and maintenance services to wind power providers across India.
The numbers: For the 2025-26 financial year, Vibhav reported a net worth of negative US$13.6K and nil turnover — a revenue profile unchanged over the past three years. Authum framed the deal as "portfolio diversification" with "long-term value creation potential" in green energy infrastructure.
What could go wrong? Authum is buying into an entity with no revenue and negative net worth, so returns hinge on the broader Wind World asset integration delivering value.
The signal: The deal shows investors building positions in India's renewable energy sector through distressed-asset resolutions, using debt-to-equity conversions to gain footholds in wind infrastructure. No separate regulatory approvals were needed to complete the share acquisition.
