JSW Neo Energy and Oil & Natural Gas Corp are the last two left in the fray to acquire Ayana Renewable Power, a green energy company controlled by National Investment & Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), said people directly aware of the matter. The two companies were among the four shortlisted in April to conduct due diligence after multiple parties submitted non-binding offers for the renewable power company. The revised term sheets were submitted last week. The offers peg Ayana’s enterprise value between $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion, the people said. Uncompetitive Offers Enterprise value includes debt and liquid assets. Bids of Sembcorp and Macquarie, the other two shortlisted companies, were deemed lowball and thereby uncompetitive.

British International Investment (32%) and Eversource Capital (17%) are the other shareholders.
