FRANKFURT, March 26 (Reuters) - Siemens Energy

will sell 90% of its wind business in India and Sri

Lanka to an investor group led by the climate investment arm of

buyout group TPG, it said on Wednesday, in a push to

focus on what it sees as core markets.

No financial details were disclosed.

As part of the deal, Siemens Energy will transfer around

1,000 employees and two manufacturing plants in India to the new

entity, it said, adding around 1,200 of its local staff would

not be part of the deal.

Siemens Gamesa, Siemens Energy's wind turbine division,

holds a 30% market share in India but has previously said it was

considering strategic options for the business, citing

cut-throat competition.

"The new company will serve the Indian market more

effectively while also offering a long-term perspective for

employees and customers," said Vinod Philip, Siemens Energy's

board member in charge of Siemens Gamesa.
