Jaiprakash Associates (JAL) signed an agreement with Adani Power to sell its entire 24% stake in Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JPVL) for nearly ₹2,994 crore. The transaction is part of the NCLT-approved resolution plan for JAL, where Adani Enterprises is the successful resolution applicant. Following the deal, JAL’s entire shareholding in JPVL will be transferred to Adani Power.
On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, Jaiprakash Power share price rose by over 17%, and the current share price was ₹22.50 as of 11:53 AM. The total volume traded today was 649 lakh shares against an average daily volume of 171 lakh shares in the last month. This sharp surge in the price is due to the official confirmation of a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement signed between Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL), the promoter company of JPVL, and Adani Power Limited (APL).
The corporate insolvency process of Jaiprakash Associates Ltd has been ongoing for a number of years now. They have managed to acquire substantial debt, and the insolvency process resulted in the presentation of the resolution plan by Adani Enterprises Limited.
On March 17, 2026, the NCLT Allahabad Bench passed a resolution plan submitted by Adani Enterprises Limited in favour of Jaiprakash Associates. The plan was subsequently accepted by the NCLAT on May 4, 2026. The CCI had approved the acquisition of the business in August 2025. After all the relevant approvals from the authorities, the parties entered into their definitive agreements.
The Sale and Purchase Agreement between JAL and Adani Power Limited in regard to the sale and purchase of 1,64,48,30,118 equity shares of JPVL for an equity stake of 24% was valued at ₹2,993.59 crore and was entered into on May 20, 2026. JPVL intimated the stock exchanges on May 23, 2026.
The 24% voting rights previously held by JAL will stand transferred to APL once the deal is completed on the Effective Date defined under the resolution plan.
Alongside the stake purchase, Adani Power has also signed a Business Transfer Agreement with JAL for the acquisition of JAL's 180 MW thermal power plant at Churk in Sonbhadra district, Uttar Pradesh. This agreement also includes JAL's 11.49% stake in Prayagraj Power Generation Company Limited and other related assets. The consideration for this piece of the transaction is ₹1,200 crore, taking the total outflow for Adani Power from both agreements to approximately ₹4,194 crore.
JPVL is primarily engaged in thermal and hydro power generation. Its total installed capacity stands at 2,220 MW across three power plants. The company's portfolio also includes a 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) cement grinding unit and a 3.92 MTPA coal mine. It also has interests in sand mining. On the financial side, JPVL's net profit for FY26 came in at approximately ₹441.52 crore, reported earlier this month.
Post this deal, there would be no stake of JAL in JPVL, thus bringing to an end its role as a promoter of the business. As per the resolution plan initiated by Adani Enterprises, Adani Power will emerge as an important shareholder in JPVL, having a 24% shareholding. Voting equity in JPVL stays the same, i.e., 6,85,34,58,827 shares of ₹10 each.
It is worth noting that this is a sale of existing shares and not an issuance of new shares, so the total share capital of JPVL is not affected by the transaction. The change is only at the ownership level.
Under the NCLT-approved framework, Adani Enterprises Limited is the resolution applicant, and Adani Power is functioning as one of the implementing entities. This structure is fairly standard in large insolvency resolutions where the resolution applicant and the entity actually acquiring specific assets may be different group companies.
The acquisitions — both the JPVL stake and the Churk power plant — are expected to be completed on the Effective Date as defined under the resolution plan, which is contingent on the implementation timeline following the completion of all required steps.
