In a strategic move to expand its presence in India’s power infrastructure sector, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. (AESL) — formerly Adani Transmission — is in advanced talks to acquire the transmission assets of Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL). Sources close to the development confirmed the deal to Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT), stating that the proposed transaction could be valued between ₹6,000 and ₹7,000 crore.




At the core of the discussion lies Western UP Power Transmission Company Ltd. (WUPPTCL), a fully operational asset located in one of India’s most power-demanding regions — western Uttar Pradesh. This acquisition could significantly strengthen Adani’s control over key regional energy corridors.

Adani’s Strategic Expansion Amidst MEIL Family Restructuring

The deal comes at a time when MEIL is undergoing internal restructuring, with founding promoters — uncle-nephew duo P. Pitchi Reddy and PV Krishna Reddy — reportedly working on a family settlement. The restructuring is likely aimed at streamlining asset ownership and unlocking value from matured infrastructure projects.

While WUPPTCL remains the prime target, Adani Energy Solutions is also evaluating MEIL’s under-construction transmission assets, although a full acquisition of those assets is unlikely at this stage, sources indicated.

The acquisition aligns with Adani’s ongoing strategy to consolidate energy infrastructure across India, especially in the transmission and distribution sectors, which are increasingly critical to India’s renewable integration and energy reliability efforts.

Sprouts SIT Flags Concerns on Regulatory Oversight and Market Concentration

The Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) has raised pertinent concerns over the growing monopolisation of critical infrastructure assets by a handful of corporate groups, including Adani. The SIT highlights that such large-scale consolidation demands robust regulatory scrutiny, especially from bodies like CERC, state electricity regulators, and the Competition Commission of India (CCI).

Moreover, Sprouts SIT alleges that a covert nexus between MahaRERA and politically-connected developers has created a culture of regulatory leniency, enabling high-value deals to proceed with limited public accountability. While MahaRERA is not directly involved in this transmission deal, the broader trend of regulators failing to act independently is a growing concern in the infrastructure ecosystem.



WUPPTCL: A Critical Energy Link in Uttar Pradesh

WUPPTCL is considered a strategically vital transmission asset, ensuring high-capacity electricity evacuation and inter-state connectivity in western Uttar Pradesh. With power demand surging in India’s most populous state, such assets are crucial for grid stability and efficiency.

If Adani Energy acquires the asset, it would enhance its leverage in long-term grid management, peak load balancing, and state-level distribution coordination. It would also continue Adani’s pattern of targeting operational, revenue-generating infrastructure for acquisition, thereby accelerating return on investment.

No Official Comments Yet, But Deal Signals Sectoral Shift

As of publication, neither Adani Energy Solutions nor MEIL responded to formal media queries, including those from Sprouts News and other national financial outlets. However, industry observers note that this deal signals a larger shift in India’s power infrastructure ownership model — where midsize EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) players build and exit, while conglomerates consolidate control.

This build-sell-consolidate trend has implications for competition, consumer pricing, and long-term grid autonomy — issues that the Sprouts SIT will continue to monitor closely.

Sprouts SIT Calls for Transparency and Competitive Balance

The Sprouts News Investigation Team urges sector regulators and policymakers to establish safeguards against unchecked consolidation in critical infrastructure. There must be transparency in asset valuation, public consultations before transfer of control, and disclosures of financial ties between large infrastructure players and regulatory bodies.

Given the economic and national security implications of such strategic acquisitions, Sprouts SIT demands a policy-level audit and monitoring framework — especially as India moves towards integrated national energy planning and grid modernization.



Powering the Future or Concentrating Control?

Adani Energy’s potential acquisition of MEIL’s transmission assets represents more than a business deal — it underscores the evolving power dynamics of India’s energy infrastructure. As conglomerates like Adani continue to grow their footprint, checks and balances must evolve in parallel to safeguard the public interest.

Sprouts SIT will continue to track this story and similar high-value infrastructure transitions, ensuring accountability, transparency, and fairness remain central to India’s infrastructure growth narrative.
Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. is in advanced talks to acquire Megha Engineering’s ₹7,000 crore Western UP transmission project. The Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) flags concerns over growing asset concentration and regulatory opacity. The deal unfolds amid MEIL’s internal restructuring, raising broader questions about transparency, monopolisation, and sectoral oversight.
