“The transactions are in line with DLF’s objective of divesting its noncore assets,” said the statement. This would also include transfer of related assets and liabilities (including current assets and liabilities) and relevant long-term loans of the company to Tulip Renewable Powertech on an as-is-where-is basis by way of slump sale for a lump sum consideration of Rs188.7 crore. The company has also signed a similar agreement with Violet Green Power for sale of its 33 MW Rajasthan windmill for Rs52.2 crore.
