- Cost Savings: Combining IWEL and IWL operations creates efficiencies. Expect cost reductions through economies of scale. Resource use will improve. Redundant functions and operations will disappear. Regulatory compliance will simplify.
- Simplified Structure: The merger streamlines the INOXGFL Group’s wind business. The holding company structure is gone.
- Direct Promoter Holding: INOXGFL Group promoters will now directly hold shares in Inox Wind.
- Enhanced Stakeholder Value: This consolidation aims to boost value for all stakeholders. Financial, operational, and other synergies drive this goal.
Share Exchange Details
