India solar closes when the project is financeable on paper and controllable in real life. Investors and lenders do not fund slide decks. They fund contracted cash flows, documented land and permits, grid connectivity certainty, bankable counterparties, and an execution plan that survives committee scrutiny.
Financely provides private capital advisory for solar developers, IPPs, EPC-linked sponsors, and asset owners raising capital for utility-scale, C&I, and hybrid solar projects across India. We structure the capital stack, build the lender and investor package, coordinate diligence, and run a controlled outreach process. Where regulated activities are required, we coordinate execution through appropriately licensed counterparties.
| Capital Layer | Typical Role in Solar Financing |
|---|---|
| Sponsor Equity | First-loss capital and governance anchor. Required to unlock senior debt and credible syndication. |
| Preferred Equity / Mezzanine | Bridges equity gaps where sponsors want to preserve ownership while meeting debt sizing and DSCR constraints. |
| Senior Debt | Construction-to-term debt or term loans sized to contracted cash flows, covenants, and reserve package. |
| Holdco / Portfolio Debt | Non-recourse or limited-recourse leverage against diversified operating portfolios with control and reporting requirements. |
| Working Capital and LC Margin | Liquidity to support operational cycles and margin requirements for bank instruments and performance obligations. |
India solar is a mature market with a strict committee culture. The diligence is predictable, and it is unforgiving when the file is incomplete. We address the underwriting priorities upfront to avoid late-stage surprises.
| Fee Component | Indicative Terms |
|---|---|
| Advisory Retainer | USD 59,500, billed at engagement start. Covers structuring, lender and investor packaging, and managed outreach. |
| Success Fee | Typically 1.0% to 2.5% of capital raised, scaled by complexity, structure, and timeline constraints. |
| Third-Party Costs | Legal, technical advisors, insurance, and any collateral or account control setup costs are paid by the client and scoped separately. |
We typically support raises from USD 5 million to USD 100 million. Smaller raises are possible where the file is clean, the counterparties are bankable, and the timeline is realistic.
No. Capital raising is subject to investor and lender policy, diligence, compliance, credit committee approvals, and definitive documentation. Our role is to make the file financeable and run an organized placement process.
Yes, in limited cases. Development-stage capital is possible when the sponsor has credible land and permit progress, a defensible path to offtake, and an execution plan that can be diligenced.
Where securities or regulated intermediary steps are required, we coordinate with appropriately licensed parties to execute that portion of the transaction. Financely remains the structuring and coordination lead.
Evidence of control and governability: contracted revenues or a credible offtake path, land and permit status, connectivity and evacuation plan, EPC and procurement discipline, and a complete data room.
Submit your project brief with location, capacity, offtake status, connectivity status, EPC approach, capex and schedule, and the amount and form of capital required. We will revert with a structuring pathway, required diligence items, and a placement workplan.
