Global investment firm KKR plans to invest more than ₹6,000 crore in Gentari Renewable India, the clean energy arm of Malaysia-based Petronas. The proposed investment aims to support the company’s renewable energy expansion and green hydrogen projects across India. The funding is expected to strengthen Gentari’s project pipeline, support existing joint ventures and accelerate its growth in India’s evolving clean energy sector.
KKR Investment to Support Renewable Energy Growth
The proposed investment will help Gentari expand its renewable energy portfolio and advance its green hydrogen ambitions. By securing a financial partner, the company aims to strengthen its capacity to develop and execute projects across India. Moreover, the funding reflects growing investor interest in India’s clean energy market, where renewable power generation and emerging low-carbon technologies are attracting significant capital.
Gentari Expands Its Renewable Energy Portfolio
Gentari has continued to strengthen its renewable energy business through strategic investments and acquisitions. In early 2025, the company acquired a 1.6 GW portfolio of renewable energy projects from Brookfield, further expanding its clean energy presence. As the company pursues additional growth opportunities, access to long-term capital will play an important role in developing new projects and supporting its expanding portfolio. Standard Chartered Bank has been advising Gentari on its search for a financial partner.
Partnerships Advance Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Projects
Gentari has established partnerships to expand its renewable power generation and green molecule businesses. Its collaboration with ReNew focuses on solar and wind power projects. Meanwhile, its partnership with AM Green supports the development of green hydrogen and green ammonia production. These partnerships align with India’s efforts to expand renewable energy capacity and develop green hydrogen as a potential lower-emission alternative for industrial applications.
Investment Highlights Growing Interest in India’s Clean Energy Sector
The proposed KKR investment underscores the increasing role of private capital in financing India’s energy transition. Renewable power and green hydrogen projects require substantial investment to develop infrastructure, scale production and establish commercially viable operations. As reported by projectstoday.ai, if completed, the investment could strengthen Gentari’s ability to advance its renewable energy and green hydrogen pipeline while supporting the broader development of India’s clean energy ecosystem.
