Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co. acted as the Indian legal advisor to GMR Group on the strategic divestment of majority stake in stressed assets, including, GMR Bajoli Holi Hydropower Private Limited, GMR Rajahmundry Energy Limited, GMR Vemagiri Power Generation Limited, to Synergy Investments Holding Limited, in a cross-border transaction involving parties headquartered in India and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n
