Renewable Energy Investment Strategy for Manufacturing Leaders

Transaction Advisory for an Automotive Facility

The automotive industry in India is strengthening its net-zero strategy by adopting renewable energy, solar and wind power procurement, and advanced energy management solutions across manufacturing plants and supply chains. 

Through expert EPC, project development, O&M, asset management, and transaction advisory, automotive businesses can reduce power costs, improve energy reliability, and align with global sustainability expectations. 

Renewable investments also create long-term ROI by enhancing efficiency, resilience, and low-carbon industrial competitiveness.

Group Captive Investment Advisory for an Automotive Manufacturer

An automotive OEM engaged SunDesh to evaluate equity participation in a renewable Group Captive project.

Under Transaction Advisory, SunDesh conducted independent technical due diligence to assess plant reliability, generation assumptions, and operational risks. CUF projections and performance history were benchmarked against realistic site conditions.

 

Commercial structuring and valuation analysis were performed to align equity participation with long-term energy security objectives. Governance mechanisms for SPV ownership were structured to protect the manufacturer’s interests across the asset lifecycle.

The engagement enabled capital allocation backed by engineering clarity and structured risk evaluation.

Outcome

The engagement resulted in:

  • Independent validation of generation and reliability assumptions

  • Clear translation of technical risk into financial impact

  • Structured equity participation model

  • Strengthened governance in renewable asset ownership

  • Renewable investment aligned with long-term manufacturing strategy
