Essar Global Fund Limited (“EGFL”) is a global investor, controlling a number of world-class assets diversified across the core sectors of Energy (comprising Exploration & Production, Refining & Marketing and Power businesses), Infrastructure (comprising Ports and EPC businesses), Metals & Minerals, Services (comprising Shipping, and Oilfield services), and Technology (comprising Technology Solutions, Mobile Wallet, Device protection and Customer experience ). EGFL invests long-term capital into the portfolio companies and holds near 100% stake in all its investments. EGFL invests with a sense of active ownership, which involves direct engagement with the management of the respective businesses. The portfolio companies have aggregate revenues of about USD 14 billion and employ over 7,000 people.
Over the last few years, Essar has reduced its groupwide leverage by more than US $20 billion (or over Rs 140,000 crore, about 85 percent of overall debt) through aggressive monetization of some of its key businesses, like Essar Oil, Aegis and Equinox Realty. These businesses were acquired by global majors at record valuations and are a testament to the quality of assets built by Essar.
