Inox Wind (IWL) has entered a consortium agreement with a group of banks, led by ICICI Bank, to secure financial facilities of approximately Rs. 2,200 crore. This limit could potentially increase to Rs. 2,400 crore, according to ICICI Bank's assessment of working capital needs. These facilities mainly consist of non-fund-based instruments such as bank guarantees (BGs) and letters of credit (LCs), and they have been approved based on IWL's strong financials without needing corporate guarantees or support from Gujarat Fluorochemicals (GFL). Recent fundraising efforts and operational improvements have allowed IWL to become net cash positive.

As a result of this new arrangement, any corporate guarantees previously provided by GFL to IWL will be terminated or phased out soon.

Inox Wind is a leading provider of wind energy solutions in India, catering to Independent Power Producers (IPPs), utilities, public sector units (PSUs), and corporate investors.
