Adani Enterprises Ltd Announces Impressive Q1 Results for FY25
Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the flagship company of the Adani Group, has kicked off FY25 with a bang. The company announced its consolidated financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, showcasing significant growth across various business segments. This quarter has been particularly notable due to remarkable increases in revenue, EBIDTA, and profit before tax.
Financial Highlights
AEL has reported a 13% increase in revenue, reaching Rs. 26,067 crore in Q1 FY25, compared to Rs. 23,016 crore in the same period last year. The consolidated EBIDTA saw an impressive 48% jump, rising from Rs. 2,897 crore to Rs. 4,300 crore. Most strikingly, the profit before tax (PBT) more than doubled, with a 107% increase to Rs. 2,236 crore from Rs. 1,080 crore in Q1 FY24. These figures reflect the company’s robust operational performance and strategic growth initiatives.
The Role of Incubating Businesses
A significant portion of AEL’s success this quarter can be attributed to its incubating businesses, which contributed 62% to the total EBITDA. This is a notable increase from the 45% contribution in Q1 FY24. The Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) ecosystem, which includes solar manufacturing and wind turbine businesses, has been a key driver. The ANIL ecosystem alone recorded an EBIDTA of Rs. 1,642 crores, marking a 3.6 times increase year-over-year and now contributing 38% to the total EBITDA.
Solar and Wind Power
The solar module exports have soared by 109% to 808 MW, highlighting the growing demand and AEL’s expanding market presence. Additionally, ANIL’s wind turbine manufacturing crossed the 200th blade production milestone this quarter, demonstrating the company’s significant strides in renewable energy. The wind turbine segment also received the final type certificate for its 3 MW wind turbine, a critical step for commercial operations.
Reaching New Heights
Adani Airports have also shown impressive growth. Passenger movement crossed the 90 million mark on a trailing twelve-month (TTM) basis for the first time, reflecting a robust recovery and growth in air travel. During this quarter, AEL added 25 new brands at Lucknow airport following the inauguration of Terminal 3, and introduced 8 new routes, 6 new airlines, and 13 new flights, enhancing connectivity and passenger convenience.

The road transport segment also reported significant progress. Adani Road Transport Ltd (ARTL) achieved its highest-ever construction milestone, completing 730 lane-kilometers during the quarter. The construction of the Ganga Expressway has crossed the halfway mark, and three out of ten under-construction projects are now more than 80% complete. This demonstrates AEL’s commitment to improving infrastructure and connectivity across India.
Expanding Digital Infrastructure
AdaniConnex Pvt Ltd (ACX), a joint venture for data centers, reported notable progress. The Noida Data Center is 89% complete, the Hyderabad Data Center’s Phase I is 94% complete, and significant advancements have been made on the Pune Data Center projects. This expansion in digital infrastructure underscores AEL’s focus on meeting the growing demand for data storage and processing capabilities.
Mining Services and IRM
In the mining services sector, dispatch volumes increased by 47% year-over-year, reaching 9.3 million metric tons (MMT). However, Integrated Resource Management (IRM) saw a slight decline in volume to 15.4 MMT from 17.8 MMT in Q1 FY24. Despite this, AEL continues to lead in the mining services industry, reflecting its strong operational capabilities and strategic initiatives.
Sustainability and ESG Initiatives
AEL remains committed to sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. The company has received high ratings for its efforts in tackling climate change and implementing robust engagement programs within its supply chain. These initiatives not only enhance AEL’s reputation but also ensure long-term value creation for stakeholders.
Commitment to Excellence
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, expressed his satisfaction with the company’s performance, stating, “Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) is further expanding its position as India’s leading business incubator and a global model in infrastructure development. The substantial growth in our EBIDTA, driven by the exceptional performance of the ANIL ecosystem, our airport operations, and our road construction business, underscores our commitment to operational excellence and sustainable value creation. The combination of best-in-class management practices, state-of-the-art technologies, high ratings, and fully-funded growth strategies ensures that AEL continues to set new national and international benchmarks.”
Scheme of Arrangement for Food FMCG Business
In a strategic move, AEL’s Board of Directors has approved the demerger of the food FMCG business to Adani Wilmar Limited, along with AEL’s strategic investment in Adani Commodities LLP. This decision aims to unlock value for shareholders and allow a focused strategy for sustainable growth in its incubating businesses. The food FMCG business, having become self-sustained and performing well, is poised for further growth under Adani Wilmar Limited.
A Promising Future
Adani Enterprises Ltd has demonstrated a strong start to FY25 with significant growth across its business segments. The company’s focus on operational excellence, strategic expansions, and commitment to sustainability positions it well for continued success. With ongoing projects in renewable energy, airport operations, road transport, and digital infrastructure, AEL is set to play a crucial role in India’s economic development and infrastructure modernization. The company’s robust financial performance and strategic initiatives underscore its potential to achieve new milestones and deliver substantial value to its stakeholders
