Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) added a spark to Friday’s trading session, with shares climbing 1.66% to hit ₹2,446.15, following the acquisition of a 26% stake in Gidhmuri Paturia Collieries Private Limited (GPCPL). This move adds yet another feather to the cap of the Adani flagship company, already a heavyweight in infrastructure, energy, and logistics, with a market cap of ₹2.77 lakh crore. AEL bought 2,600 equity shares, valued at ₹10 each, from Sainik Mining and Allied Services Limited, making GPCPL a fully-owned subsidiary. This acquisition positions AEL to further cement its foothold in coal and mineral mining, aligning with its broader strategy of driving growth across diverse industries. Financially, Adani Enterprises isn’t just holding steady—it’s accelerating. Q2 FY24-25 saw revenues tick up slightly to ₹23,196 crore, but the real highlight was the net profit, skyrocketing from ₹227.82 crore to ₹1,741.75 crore. With a return on equity (RoE) of 13.31% and a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.92, AEL remains a juggernaut in India’s corporate landscape, even amid global scrutiny of its debt levels.
