Rationale
The rating upgrade factors in the increase in Juniper Green Energy Limited’s (JGEL/Group) operational capacity, the strengthening
of its capital structure following the Rs. 1,800-crore initial public offering (IPO) concluded in August 2026, and the satisfactory
execution track record demonstrated across its sizeable under-construction portfolio. The ratings continue to factor in JGEL’s
strong execution track record of timely commissioning the projects with many of them getting completed ahead of their schedule,
in addition to the satisfactory progress in terms of land acquisition and connectivity for the entire under-construction portfolio.
With some of the under-construction projects nearing completion, the company’s overall operational portfolio is expected to
increase significantly to over 3 GWp and ~1.4 GWh of battery capacity by March 2027, thereby reducing the execution risk for this
portfolio. ICRA also notes the satisfactory generation performance of the operational portfolio and the visibility of stable and
long-term cash flows, given the 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) tied up for the entire operational and under-
construction capacity with diversified counterparties. Nonetheless, the execution risk related to the under-construction capacity
and a timely achievement of the financial closure for the pending capacity remain important monitorables.
At present, the company has an operational portfolio of 2,689 MWp with 503 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity.
It has 3,448 MWp of renewable energy and 3,586 MWh of BESS capacity under construction, all backed by long-term PPAs. The
development pipeline remains strong, with letters of award (LOAs) secured for an additional ~5.1 GWp of projects along with ~4.9
GWh of BESS capacity, although the corresponding PPAs are yet to be executed. The upcoming portfolio primarily comprises
hybrid, firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) and round-the-clock (RTC) power projects. JGEL is the first developer in
the country to partially commission one of its FDRE projects.
In August 2026, JGEL raised Rs. 1,800 crore through an initial public offering, resulting in a ~14.0% equity dilution by the promoter,
Juniper Renewable Holdings Pte. Ltd. (JRHPL). The proceeds of the issue will be mainly used to prepay a mezzanine facility of Rs.
600 crore and refinance certain project loans worth Rs. 811.92 crore and the remaining as equity for general corporate purpose,
primarily for growth capex. This is expected to deleverage JGEL’s balance sheet, reduce the finance costs through lower-cost debt
and strengthen its overall capital structure. While ICRA notes that the company has downsized the IPO from what was envisaged
earlier, further dilution in promoter holding to meet regulatory requirements would support the liquidity and funding requirement

for the Group’s under-construction capacity. The ratings continue to factor in the company’s established parent arm, AT Holdings
Pte. Ltd. (ATH), Singapore, that has a track record of developing renewable projects and an experienced management team for
the Indian operations. ATH had previously developed renewable energy capacity (~959 MW) under the Orange Renewable
Platform, which was subsequently sold to the Greenko Group in FY2019.
Further, the Group’s portfolio has a diversified offtaker profile comprising various Central counterparties like Solar Energy
Corporation of India Limited {SECI, rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable)/[ICRA]A1+}, NHPC Limited {NHPC, rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable)}, NTPC
Limited {NTPC, rated [ICRA]AAA (Stable)}, SJVN Limited (SJVN), the state discoms such as Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution
Company Limited (MSEDCL) and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL; rated [ICRA]AA (Stable)/ [ICRA]A1+), and The TATA
Power Company Limited {TATA Power rated [ICRA]AA+ (Stable)}. ICRA also notes that the entire capacity of the Group, apart from
two projects of 210 MWp and 101 MWh, have long-term PPAs with these counterparties typically for a period of 25 years at
competitive tariffs, thereby providing long-term revenue visibility. ICRA also notes the highly competitive tariffs offered under the
PPAs, ranging from Rs. 2.63-4.76 per unit, which are in line with the prevailing bid tariffs. ICRA also draws comfort from the strong
credit profile of the offtakers and the timely payments from them in the past. The collections from the counterparties have
remained timely and regular for the Group at a consolidated level over the past few years.
ICRA notes that while such a large project pipeline provides healthy visibility for earnings growth, it has heightened the risk of
execution, given the complexity in executing capital-intensive and multi-location FDRE projects. However, the execution risk is
partly mitigated by the company’s timely project execution in the past, supplier agreements and the satisfactory progress made
towards land acquisition and connectivity approvals for its under-construction projects. In ICRA’s opinion, there are risks related
to battery performance, generation variability and minimum guaranteed capac
