Synopsis: Adani Energy Solutions completed its acquisition of 100% of IntelliSmart Infrastructure from NIIF and EESL on 12 November 2026, after clearance from the Competition Commission of India. The ₹3,050 crore deal, announced in June, adds over 2.2 crore smart meters and takes AESL’s portfolio past 4.7 crore meters.
Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) told the exchanges on 13 November 2026 that it completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity of IntelliSmart Infrastructure Private Limited on 12 November. The sellers were the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF) and Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL). Optionally convertible debentures held by NIIF were redeemed as part of the deal, which closed after approval from the Competition Commission of India.
AESL had signed the securities purchase and subscription agreement on 9 June 2026. According to its press release at the time, the transaction is valued at ₹3,050 crore.
What IntelliSmart brings
IntelliSmart, set up in 2019 as a joint venture of NIIF and EESL, installs and operates smart electricity meters for power distribution companies, with a portfolio of more than 2.2 crore meters across states. AESL said the deal would make it India’s largest smart metering platform, with more than 4.7 crore meters.
Why it matters
Smart meters are central to India’s plan to cut power distribution losses and let consumers track and prepay for electricity, which supports energy efficiency. The deal also marks a public-to-private handover: a platform built by a state-backed energy efficiency company and the government-anchored NIIF now sits with a private group. With roughly 4.7 crore meters under one operator, execution and service quality will matter for millions of households.
