  "account": "Sembcorp Industries has stated that there is still no final decision made regarding a potential initial public offering (IPO) for any of its business units, following media reports suggesting an IPO for its Indian renewable energy unit, Sembcorp Green Infra. The company clarified that it routinely evaluates strategic options for its businesses, including the possibility of an IPO, but emphasized that any such evaluation remains in a preliminary stage. Sembcorp emphasized that there is no assurance that any transaction will proceed or be completed.\n\nThe potential IPO for Sembcorp Green Infra could potentially raise up to US$500 million, according to Bloomberg, which cited draft documents that could be submitted as early as August. Sembcorp is reportedly collaborating with several investment banks, including Axis Capital, HSBC Holdings, Citigroup, Kotak Mahindra Capital, ICICI Securities, and IIFL Capital Services, on the proposed share sale.\n\nIt is worth noting that Sembcorp Green Infra is Sembcorp's second attempt to list publicly, as its initial attempt in 2018 was unsuccessful. At that time, the company filed draft IPO papers with India's market regulator but ultimately withdrew them several months later after opting to inject additional equity into the business instead.\n\nSembcorp Green Infra is among India's top 10 largest renewable independent power producers by operational capacity as of March 31, 2026, with over 75 renewable energy assets spread across 18 states. The company boasts a total installed renewable energy capacity of 7.6 gigawatts (GW) in India. Sembcorp highlighted that it will provide further announcements should there be any material developments, urging shareholders and investors to exercise caution and refrain from basing their decisions on media reports or speculation until the company issues a definitive announcement.",
