(Bloomberg) -- India’s Adani Transmission Ltd. will buy a power transmission project from Essel Infraprojects Ltd. for an enterprise value of 33.7 billion rupees ($465 million), it said in a stock exchange filing on Saturday.

The Warora-Kurnool project was awarded to Essel in a competitive bid, and Adani has obtained the central electricity regulator’s approval for the acquisition, according to the filing. The company plans to obtain consent of lenders and other regulators before completing the transaction.

The deal will take Adani’s transmission network to about 17,200 circuit kilometers, about 72% of which is operational. The company aims to reach 20,000 circuit kilometers by 2022, according to the filing.

U.S. will issue proposal to preserve program for 'Dreamer' immigrants: DHS
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Friday it will issue a proposed rule to preserve and fortify a program for immigrants, nicknamed "Dreamers," who are living illegally in the United States after entering as children. President Joe Biden issued a memo on Jan. 20, his first day in office, that directed the agency and the U.S. attorney general to maintain the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects Dreamer immigrants from deportation. The Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives last week passed a bill providing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, but the legislation faces an uncertain future in the deeply divided Senate.
