Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the flagship entity of the Adani Group, has reported a robust financial performance for the April-June quarter (Q1 FY26), driven significantly by its incubating businesses. Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) from these burgeoning ventures surged by 5 per cent year-on-year to ₹2,800 crore, contributing a substantial 74 per cent to the quarterly results. This growth underscores the group’s strategic focus on building next-generation infrastructure platforms crucial for India’s sustainable and equitable development.
The company’s consolidated EBITDA for the quarter stood at ₹3,786 crore, with a consolidated profit before tax (PBT) of ₹1,466 crore, against a total income of ₹22,437 crore. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, lauded the performance, stating that AEL has established itself as one of the world’s most successful infrastructure incubators, reflecting the inherent strength and scalability of its operating model. This financial resilience, despite impacts from decreased trade volume and volatility in IRM and commercial mining, highlights a diversified and robust portfolio essential for navigating complex global economic landscapes.
A key driver of this exceptional performance is the airports business, which delivered a remarkable 61 per cent year-on-year growth in EBITDA to ₹1,094 crore. With landmark assets such as the Navi Mumbai International Airport set to become operational, Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) has already secured $1.75 billion through External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs) and project financing across six airports and Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL). This financial flexibility is vital for sustaining growth and enhancing passenger-centric infrastructure, contributing to more efficient and eco-friendly urban connectivity across major metropolitan areas.
Beyond traditional infrastructure, Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) is making significant strides in the green energy sector. ANIL secured its first external order for 300 MW of its new 3.3 MW Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) model and has successfully supplied 1 GW of India’s largest 5.2 MW wind turbines. Crucially, the company commissioned India’s first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen pilot plant, marking a major milestone in the nation’s clean energy transition. These initiatives are pivotal for achieving zero-net-carbon goals and fostering a sustainable energy future for India’s cities and industries.
The operationalisation of large infrastructure assets, including the Navi Mumbai International Airport, the Copper Plant, and the Ganga Expressway, is expected to unlock further EBITDA and create long-term value for AEL. Mumbai airport’s receipt of its tariff order for the 4th control period (FY25 to FY29) and the addition of seven new routes and two new airlines during the quarter further underscore the dynamic expansion within the aviation sector. These developments are integral to building globally benchmarked, technologically advanced, and strategically vital infrastructure that supports India’s growth story, ensuring equitable access and opportunities across the nation.
This robust performance by Adani Enterprises, particularly in its incubating businesses and green energy ventures, reflects a strategic alignment with India’s national development priorities. By investing in critical infrastructure that promotes sustainable mobility, clean energy, and efficient logistics, the group is not only driving its own growth but also contributing significantly to the creation of eco-friendly, sustainable, and equitable cities across the country. This forward-looking approach is essential for India’s long-term economic prosperity and environmental stewardship.
