NEW DELHI: Mumbai-based renewable energy company CleanMax has sewed up equity funding of $360 million from Brookfield Renewable, marking the Canadian fund’s second investment in an Indian clean energy entity within a month.

Brookfield Renewable is among the largest investors globally in renewable power and climate transition assets and will route the investment through the Brookfield Global Transition Fund.

Brookfield will get a controlling stake and will work with existing shareholders and management to drive the company’s growth in the C&I (commercial and industrial) segment in India, CleanMax said in a statement on Thursday.
