The proposed combination relates to the acquisition of additional shares in the Sikkim Urja Ltd (formerly Teesta Urja Ltd) by Greenko Energies Pvt Ltd (GEPL), CCI said.

Sikkim Urja Ltd is a special purpose vehicle incorporated for the purpose of the implementation of the 1,200 megawatt hydropower project in North Sikkim.

"Commission approves acquisition of additional shares in Sikkim Urja Ltd by Greenko Energies Pvt Ltd," CCI said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

The deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
