At the time, the Indian independent power producer (IPP) said shareholders CDPQ Infrastructure Asia Pte Ltd, IFC GIF Investment Company I and International Finance Corporation, intended to purchase shares worth up to around $100 million, $40 million, and $10 million, respectively.

Bringing its investment in Azure Power up to $240 million, CDPQ confirmed it has invested $100 million, meaning it now owns a 40% stake in the New York Stock Exchange listed company.
