The latest update is out from Astral Limited ( (IN:ASTRAL) ).

Astral Limited has entered into a Share Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement with Vena Energy Sustainable Power Private Limited to subscribe to equity shares and qualify as a captive user of renewable electricity from Vena’s hybrid solar and wind power project in Gujarat. The deal, which involves a cash investment of up to Rs 9 crore for as much as 19% equity by April 30, 2026, is aimed at securing significant financial and commercial benefits from captive green power, potentially lowering Astral’s energy costs and supporting its sustainability agenda without involving any related-party interests.

Vena Energy Sustainable Power Private Limited, incorporated in 2020 as part of an overseas-backed group focused on renewable generation, currently has no turnover but is set up to own and operate hybrid renewable plants. By locking in captive offtake from this project, Astral enhances its long-term energy security and cost visibility, strengthening its competitive position in an environment where industrial users are under rising pressure to decarbonise and manage power price volatility.
