IntelliSmart Infrastructure is involved in providing advanced metering infrastructure for electricity in the country. It is also engaged in deploying certain smart gas meters in the country.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) said it has cleared the proposed deal.
"The Commission approves the acquisition of 100 per cent of the share capital of IntelliSmart Infrastructure Pvt Ltd by Adani Energy Solutions Ltd," the regulator said in a post on X.
In June this year, Adani Energy Solutions announced that it has executed a binding securities purchase and subscription agreement to acquire a 100 per cent equity stake in IntelliSmart Infrastructure.
The Rs 3,050-crore transaction includes the acquisition of 100 per cent of the equity share capital of IntelliSmart and redemption of the optionally convertible debentures of IntelliSmart held by NIIF.
NIIF is India's sovereign-anchored alternative asset manager, while EESL is a joint venture of leading public sector undertakings under the Ministry of Power.
Deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a watch on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
