Green Drive: JK Tyre to Acquire 26% Stake in Sunpulse Power for Captive Solar Energy

In a move to strengthen its commitment to sustainable energy and regulatory compliance, tyre industry giant JK Tyre & Industries Ltd has announced a strategic investment in the renewable energy sector.

On 5 March 2026, the company’s Board of Directors approved a ₹5.04 crore investment to acquire a minimum 26% equity stake in Sunpulse Power Private Ltd (SPPL).

The acquisition is not merely a financial investment but a strategic step to align with Indian Electricity laws. According to the company’s disclosure, the stake is being acquired to meet the regulatory requirements for captive power consumption.

This arrangement ensures that JK Tyre will maintain at least a 26% shareholding in SPPL throughout the term of their Power Purchase Agreement.

Sunpulse Power Private Ltd is a Delhi-based company incorporated on 27 July 2025. A wholly owned subsidiary of Oriana Power Limited, SPPL focuses on solar energy generation and the sale of power within India.

Given its recent incorporation, the firm is in its early stages of operation, with the acquisition providing a clear pathway for JK Tyre to secure a dedicated green energy source.

The transaction will be executed via a cash consideration of ₹5.04 crore. The Board has authorised the signing of the Share Transfer and Shareholders Agreement, with the acquisition expected to be completed within 90 days.

The company confirmed that this is an “arm’s length” transaction and does not fall under related party transactions, as the promoter group has no prior interest in the target entity.
