Mumbai-based renewable energy company Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions has unveiled the price band for its much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO), setting the stage for one of the notable clean energy listings this year. The IPO will open for public subscription on February 23 and close on February 25, while anchor investors will get an early entry on February 20.
With a price band fixed at ₹1,000 to ₹1,053 per equity share, the offering signals strong confidence in the company’s growth trajectory amid India’s accelerating energy transition.

IPO Size Trimmed, But Still Substantial
At the upper end of the price band, Clean Max aims to raise ₹3,100 crore. The issue comprises a fresh issue of ₹1,200 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of 1.80 crore equity shares by existing shareholders.
Interestingly, the overall issue size has been reduced from the earlier proposed ₹5,200 crore, as mentioned in preliminary documents filed in August 2025. While the reduction may raise eyebrows, it could also indicate a calibrated approach aligned with market conditions and valuation comfort.
Despite the trimmed size, this remains a sizeable public offering in the renewable energy space.
Valuation and Market Capitalisation
At ₹1,053 per share — the upper end of the band — Clean Max Enviro Energy will command a post-listing market capitalisation of approximately ₹12,325 crore.
This valuation positions the company as a serious mid-cap renewable energy player in India’s public markets. With growing investor appetite for ESG-focused and green energy businesses, the company’s listing could attract both institutional and retail participation.
Investors can bid for a minimum lot of 14 shares and in multiples thereafter, translating to a minimum investment of ₹14,000–₹14,742, depending on the final issue price.
Employee Reservation With Special Discount
In a move aimed at rewarding its workforce, shares worth up to ₹30 crore have been reserved for employees. Notably, employees will receive a ₹100 per share discount to the final issue price.
Such incentives not only strengthen internal alignment but also reflect management’s intent to share wealth creation with its team. In high-growth sectors like renewable energy, employee participation can be a strong morale booster ahead of a public listing.
Who’s Selling in the OFS?
The offer for sale will see several key shareholders pare their stakes. Promoter Kuldeep Jain, along with Brookfield-backed BGTF One Holdings DIFC and KEMPINC LLP, will offload shares. Other investors participating in the OFS include Augment India I Holdings and DSDG Holding APS.
Since a portion of the issue is an OFS, the proceeds from that component will go to the selling shareholders rather than the company. Meanwhile, the ₹1,200 crore fresh issue will strengthen the company’s balance sheet and likely support expansion, project development, and potential debt reduction.

Riding India’s Renewable Energy Wave
Clean Max operates in the renewable energy space, a sector witnessing rapid transformation as India pushes toward ambitious clean energy targets. With rising corporate demand for green power through long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs), companies like Clean Max are strategically positioned to benefit from this structural shift.
India’s commitment to expand renewable capacity and reduce carbon intensity has created fertile ground for private renewable developers. As more corporates aim to meet sustainability goals, demand for clean energy solutions is only expected to grow.

The Bigger Picture
Clean Max Enviro Energy’s IPO comes at a time when investor sentiment toward green businesses is steadily strengthening. Though the issue size has been scaled down from initial plans, the ₹3,100 crore offering remains significant and signals confidence in the company’s fundamentals.
With a strong valuation, institutional backing, and participation from promoters and global investors in the OFS, the IPO will be closely watched. The coming weeks will reveal how enthusiastically the market embraces this renewable energy contender — and whether it can power up investor portfolios as effectively as it powers India’s clean energy transition.
