Abu Dhabi-based IHC on Wednesday divested a 1.83 per cent stake in Adani Energy Solutions for Rs 1,737 crore through open market transactions. ADVERTISEMENT Investment management firm IHC through its affiliate Envestcom Holding RSC Ltd offloaded nearly 2.2 crore equity shares, representing a 1.83 per cent stake in Adani Energy Solutions Ltd (AESL), as per the bulk deal data available on the BSE and NSE. The shares were sold at an average price of Rs 790 apiece, taking the combined deal value to Rs 1,736.73 crore. After the stake sale, Envestcom Holding's shareholding in AESL has come down to 0.85 per cent from 2.68 per cent. Details of the buyers of Adani Energy Solutions' shares could not be ascertained on the exchanges. In March this year, IHC sold 84.49 lakh shares in Adani Enterprises for around Rs 1,800 crore. ADVERTISEMENT The sale was executed through its two entities -- Green Vitality RSC and Green Energy Investment Holding RSC. However, the stake was acquired by another arm of IHC Envestcom Holding RSC. IHC through its affiliates holds stakes in Adani companies such as Adani Total Gas, AESL and the flagship firm Adani Enterprises.
