Avaada Electro Ltd, the solar photovoltaic manufacturing arm of the Avaada group, has filed its updated draft documents for an initial public offering to raise as much as Rs 7,600 crore (about $798 million).
The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of shares by Avaada Electro to raise Rs 1,600 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 6,000 crore by its parent, Vineet Mittal-led Avaada Ventures Pvt. Ltd, according to the updated draft red herring prospectus. It had last year filed draft documents for the IPO through the confidential route.
Avaada Ventures is backed by Canadian alternative asset manager Brookfield.

The Avaada group is also backed by the Asian Development Bank, German development finance institution DEG, Dutch development bank FMO, France’s Proparco, and Thailand’s Global Power Synergy Company.
The company said it will use Rs 1,200 crore of the net proceeds from the fresh issue to repay its debts. The balance net proceeds will be utilised towards general corporate purposes.
Avaada Ventures says it is among the top 10 vertically integrated solar photovoltaic manufacturers in India based on operational solar cell and module capacity as of July 31, 2026. It has 8.50 GW of operational solar module manufacturing capacity. It also has 3 GW of operational tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell manufacturing capacity and 3 GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity in an advanced stage of commissioning.
