Adani Group records significant gains
Adani Group stocks posted gains on Friday, leading to an increase in its market capitalization by Rs.12,675 crore.
The total market capitalization of the 10 listed Adani Group companies touched Rs.10.62 trillion, up from Rs.10.49 trillion in the previous closing.
An analyst said, “The Adani Group’s recent surge, especially in its power portfolio, exemplifies the renewed confidence and focus of the investor community on its potential instead. This interest isn’t merely based on current performance but is also due to the Group’s robust financials and strategic decision-making.
“Even with recent media reports casting a shadow, the market is largely brushing aside the negatives and pivoting to the future growth potential of the conglomerate. The Group’s resilience and adaptability in these challenging times have set them apart.”
The Adani Group’s power portfolio posted strong gains on renewed domestic investor interest.
Adani Power‘s shares increased by 2.79 percent to Rs.330.25, taking its market cap to Rs.1.27 lakh crore. Adani Green Energy‘s shares gained 1.94 percent with its market cap rising to Rs.1.49 lakh crore, while Adani Energy Solutions gained 1.59 percent to post a market cap of Rs.92,017 crore.

The boost to the Adani group stocks comes as the market recognizes the group’s fundamental strengths and brushed aside reports such as the Hindenburg report and the recent OCCRP report. The Adani Group has rejected these reports’ claims.
As per reports, the regulator has already examined the funds named by OCCRP in the Adani probe. Despite these external challenges, the Group’s financial numbers are robust, reflecting operational strength and resilience.
