Chandigarh, October 7, 2016: Further to its announcement on 1st July, 2016, Adani Transmission Ltd (ATL), the largest private power transmission company operating in India, completed the acquisition of 74% shares of Maru Transmission Service Company Limited (MTSCL) and 49% shares of Aravali Transmission Service Company Limited (ATSCL). While payment has been made for 100% stake in both the companies, the remaining stake in both the companies will be transferred to ATL in a
manner consistent with the Transmission Service Agreement. This acquisition is in sync with ATL strategy to enhance the value for its stakeholders, through organic as well as inorganic growth.

With this, cumulative network of ATL will reach around 10900 ckt kms, out of which approximate 9000 ckt kms are under operation (including 3500 ckt kms under process of acquisition) and approximate 1900 ckt kms are under various stages of construction.

With this scale of operations, ATL will enjoy substantial benefit of scale driving in terms of cost optimization and shared resources.

Recently, the company has successfully concluded two capital market fund raising programmes – USD Bond with overwhelming responses from global investors across Asia, USA, London and rupee denominated INR Offshore bond (Masala Bond).

Adani Transmission Ltd. is India’s first private sector player to receive the Global Investment Grade Rating in power sector.
