Temasek cashes out of Indian joint venture with Schneider Electric for $8.18 billion

The purchase price of the deal is almost four times the joint venture's assessed entire net worth of $2.2 billion, marking a huge premium for Temasek, given it had initially invested around $942 million.

The deal will allow French industrial giant Schneider Electric, which specialises in digital automation and energy management, to gain full ownership of Schneider Electric India (SEIPL), after it set up the company in 2018.

The Indian unit is a joint venture with Indian conglomerate Larsen and Toubro, which has operations in heavy industry, energy and construction.
