India

India's renewable energy market – the world's third largest – is reshaping global energy investment. Our India-focused team brings over two decades of experience advising financial institutions, sponsors, international developers and other stakeholders on the country's most significant transactions.

We advise on both inbound transactions into India and outbound investments by India-based companies across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the United States.

Our team is fluent in the Indian legal and regulatory environment — as well as Hindi, Bengali, Tamil and Telugu — and helps clients effectively navigate local and cultural nuances in international transactions. We are recognized by the India Business Law Journal, Chambers Asia-Pacific and India’s Legal Era awards.

Our experience spans:

  • Project Development & Finance. Our team is deeply experienced across the entire energy spectrum, including conventional and renewable sources such as utility scale solar, wind and geothermal projects, and guides innovative infrastructure investments, from EV charging facilities and digital media to data centers.
  • Mergers & Acquisitions. We advise major infrastructure investment firms, sponsors as well as Indian companies on buy-side and sell-side acquisitions spanning energy, technology, and industrial sectors, including multi-billion-dollar agrochemical acquisitions, renewable energy platform deals, and software company acquisitions.
  • Cross-Border Finance. Indian and international companies rely on us for advice on acquisition financing, including multi-billion-dollar term financings for cross-border acquisitions and facilities.
  • Technology & Innovation. Drawing on Orrick's global technology platform, our India team brings experience in acquisitions of digital communication platforms, investments in agtech and supply chain technology, and transactions involving AI and data centers.
