Acquisition broadens ConnectM’s service offerings into India’s high-growth distributed energy and telecom sectors, advancing the Company’s global expansion strategy
MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a high-growth technology company on the leading edge of the energy economy, today announced it has secured regulatory approval and completed the acquisition of Cambridge Energy Resources Ltd. (CER), an India-based Energy-Management-as-a-Service (EMaaS) provider.
The acquisition provides ConnectM with a strategic beachhead in India’s booming distributed energy and telecommunications sectors, solidifying the Company’s expansion into one of the world’s fastest-growing clean energy and digital infrastructure markets. ConnectM beat out four other bidders in a competitive process to acquire CER in 2021 for INR 120 million ($1.4M) which has fair value assessment at INR 240 million ($2.8M). Since winning the bid in 2021, it took an additional three years to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.
CER’s offerings span rooftop solar installations and energy management solutions for telecommunications infrastructure, supporting India’s 5G network deployment through clean energy initiatives. With this acquisition, ConnectM gains an established operating presence in India and the ability to immediately participate in two sectors central to India’s sustainability and digital growth. The Company will leverage CER’s local expertise to deploy its proprietary Home and Building Electrification (HBE) platform and Energy Intelligence Network (EIN) across new projects in the region. ConnectM’s full-stack, digital-first approach—proven in its U.S. operations—combined with CER’s on-ground capabilities is expected to drive growth in both distributed energy and telecom energy management solutions.
“This is a pivotal step in our international Home and Building Electrification (HBE) expansion,” said Bhaskar Panigrahi, Chairman and CEO of ConnectM. “By adding Cambridge Energy Resources to the ConnectM family, we secure a foothold in one of the world’s largest and highest-growth energy and telecommunications markets. We are now positioned to accelerate the deployment of our integrated electrification platform across India, furthering our mission to drive sustainable energy transformation on a global scale.”
The transaction carries significant strategic value for ConnectM and its stockholders. Our India business is growing organically at more than 100% per year. With this CER acquisition, we expect our business from India to grow to 15% of our global revenue in next twelve months ($10M annualized) from 5% it is currently now. CER not only provides an operational base in India but also broadens ConnectM’s service offerings into two high-growth domains that align with India’s ambitious development goals. India has set a target of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030, supported by an estimated $384.5 billion in power sector investments, alongside a nationwide 5G rollout. These initiatives are driving robust demand for distributed renewable energy solutions and energy-efficient telecom infrastructure—areas where ConnectM, through CER, is now well positioned to deliver innovative solutions.
This acquisition follows ConnectM’s March 26, 2025, announcement of its first HBE project in India and is a key part of the Company’s broader strategic expansion into India and international markets. ConnectM plans to continue pursuing opportunities that strengthen its presence in high-growth regions as it scales its HBE platform globally.
