Future Growth Targets:

SAEL plans to double its renewable energy capacity to 10 GW over the next three years.
Strategy encompasses further backward integration in production and identifying opportunities for international expansion.

Environmental and Social Impact:

SAEL's operations contribute to less air pollution from crop stubble burning, better public health, and a boost to rural livelihoods.
The company enables farmers by giving them an alternate use of agricultural waste.

Previous Financial Milestones:

In 2024, SAEL raised $305 million from a Green Bond on the Singapore Stock Exchange, six times oversubscribed—a reflection of investor faith in its business model.

This IPO is a milestone in SAEL's path to becoming a global renewable energy leader and solving urgent environmental issues.
