Why Adani Enterprises Is Raising Funds
This rights issue marks Adani Enterprises’ largest equity fundraising since it withdrew its fully subscribed ₹20,000 crore follow-on public offer in early 2023, following a report by US short-seller Hindenburg Research that shook investor confidence in the group’s listed firms.
During the company’s second-quarter earnings call, Adani Group CFO Robbie Singh said the capital raise is part of a broader strategy to support the next phase of incubation and growth.
“This issue will strengthen AEL’s balance sheet for the next phase of incubation while allowing existing shareholders to participate in the growth story of our core incubating infrastructure and energy transition assets,” said Singh.
He added that the group’s primary objective is to convert shareholder loans into equity.
“The major shareholders, the promoter families, have provided loans to Adani Enterprises for growth. They do not seek repayment and are comfortable participating in the rights issue. Effectively, those loans will become equity,” Singh said.
“Consequently, the excess rights exercised by non-promoter shareholders will serve as growth capital, primarily funding the airports business, with some allocation for roads and Adani New Industries,” he added.
According to Singh, the infusion will materially reduce the company’s gross debt.
“You will see a very significant change in the gross debt number post this issue, giving us much greater capacity to grow and expand faster. It will fund airport requirements over the next 12 months and certain other smaller projects in roads, in line with our capital management plan,” he noted.
Adani Enterprises is entering a major investment phase, with planned capital expenditure of about ₹36,000 crore in FY26, up from ₹16,300 crore in the first half of the year. Around ₹10,500 crore will go into airports, ₹6,000 crore into roads, ₹9,000 crore into petrochemicals and materials, ₹3,500 crore into metals and mining, and ₹5,500 crore into Adani New Industries.
The Navi Mumbai Airport is set for commercial opening this quarter, with Phase 2 expansion already underway, while city-side developments at the Navi Mumbai and Mumbai airports worth ₹20,000 crore are scheduled to begin next year.
