H.G. Infra Engineering Limited addressed the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange, informing them of the incorporation of three new subsidiaries, as per compliance with Regulations 30 and 51 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The subsidiaries established are H.G. Jodhpur Solar Energy Private Limited, H.G. Solar Project Developer Private Limited, and H.G. Green Hydrogen Power Private Limited, all of which are wholly owned by H.G. Solar Projects Private Limited, itself a fully owned subsidiary of H.G. Infra Engineering Limited.

Each of these new entities has been set up with an authorized, subscribed, and paid-up share capital of Rs. 15,00,000, distributed across 150,000 equity shares valued at Rs. 10 each. These companies are at the initiation stage and have yet to begin business operations, which is why there is no reported turnover for any of them. The formation of these subsidiaries may be regarded as related party transactions, involving investments in step-down subsidiaries. Directors Harshvardhan Singh and Vaibhav Choudhary, who are part of the promoter and promoter group of H.G. Infra Engineering, are also directors in these new entities. The document assures that the shares have been subscribed at par and the transactions have been conducted at arm's length.

The subsidiaries are focused on the solar power industry and green hydrogen energy, aligning with the parent company's interest in renewable energy sectors. The communication does not specify any governmental or regulatory approvals needed for these incorporations, suggesting no such requirements at this stage. Additionally, the acquisitions have been completed with cash consideration for the shares.
