JSW Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of Indian energy company JSW Energy, has announced the acquisition of a 45MW wind power project from Reliance Power on a slump sale basis.

Located in Jath, Sangli District, in the Indian state of Maharashtra, the project will be acquired for Rs1.32bn in cash, adjusted for net working capital.

The two companies signed a business transfer agreement, with the completion of the deal contingent on regulatory approvals.
