TWC Capital, the corporate finance advisory arm of TWC Holdings, acted as the Exclusive Financial Adviser on the two transactions, assisting WindForce PLC and New Anthoney’s Farms Group (NAF) in securing long-term IFC financing to support their next phase of growth.
The transactions span two strategically important sectors for Sri Lanka’s economy—renewable energy and agribusiness—and are expected to strengthen energy security, improve food production, support exports and attract additional international investment into the country.
Commenting on the milestone, TWC Capital Chief Executive Officer Rasanja Perera said the successful completion of the transactions demonstrates that well-managed Sri Lankan companies continue to attract high-quality international capital despite a challenging global investment climate.
He noted that development finance institutions such as the IFC require rigorous transaction structuring, extensive stakeholder coordination and disciplined execution, adding that the firm is pleased to have supported both companies in securing long-term funding with significant economic, environmental and social benefits.
TWC Holdings Founder and Executive Chairman Thilan Wijesinghe said mobilising international institutional capital and foreign direct investment into strategic sectors has always been central to the group’s mission.
According to Wijesinghe, the two latest transactions increase the total value of offshore development finance and foreign direct investment mobilised by TWC over the past 12 months to approximately US$125 million. He added that the company intends to build on this momentum during 2026–27 by connecting more high-quality Sri Lankan businesses with international investors, development finance institutions and multilateral agencies.
The larger of the two transactions involves an IFC financing commitment of up to US$18 million through a local currency financing facility for WindForce PLC, Sri Lanka’s leading renewable energy company.
The funding will support the development of the country’s first utility-scale 100-megawatt solar power project, which is expected to generate around 220 gigawatt hours of clean electricity annually. The project is expected to enhance national energy security, contribute to lower electricity costs over time and create opportunities for future battery energy storage investments.
In the second transaction, TWC Capital advised New Anthoney’s Farms Group (NAF) in securing US$10 million in funding from the IFC, including support from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) Private Sector Window.
The investment will finance the expansion of Sri Lanka’s only fully antibiotic-free poultry producer, enabling the company to increase export capacity while strengthening national food security and supporting rural economic development.
The expansion is expected to create more than 900 new jobs while benefiting at least 200 contract farming households across the country through increased production and stronger supply chain integration.
The financing also supports Sri Lanka’s broader efforts to improve agricultural productivity, promote value-added exports and encourage sustainable farming practices that enhance competitiveness in international markets.
These transactions further reinforce TWC Capital’s growing reputation in corporate finance advisory, particularly in cross-border capital raising, development finance, mergers and acquisitions and strategic financial advisory services.
With TWC Capital advises on $ 28 m IFC investments in Sri Lanka’s energy and agribusiness sectors, the successful mobilisation of international development finance highlights continued investor confidence in well-structured Sri Lankan businesses. The investments are expected to support sustainable economic growth while strengthening two sectors that remain central to the country’s long-term development strategy.
