In a notice to the Bombay Stock Exchange, DLF said on Thursday, “The company has entered into definitive business transfer agreement with BLP Vayu (Project 1), a subsidiary of Bharat Light & Power, for transferring its undertaking comprising of 150 MW capacity wind turbines situated at Kutch, Gujarat, by way of slump-sale for a lump sum consideration of R282.30 crore.” The shareholders of the company had approved the sale in July, 2012, the notice said.
Under its wind energy portfolio, DLF along with its wholly owned subsidiary DLF Home Developers, has 227 MW capacity wind turbines in four states. Apart from Gujarat, the other locations are Rajasthan (33 MW), Tamil Nadu (34.5MW), and Karnataka (11.2 MW).
