---

#1

The Adani Group has announced robust financial health and steady growth through its latest H1 FY25 and Trailing-Twelve-Month (TTM) results, despite external pressures.


The Trailing-Twelve-Month EBITDA  -  earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation - surged 17 per cent YoY to USD 10 billion. Simultaneously, funds from operations (FFO) reached USD 7 billion, growing at over 30 per cent annually for five years.


Net debt-to-EBITDA stood at 2.46x, below the group's guidance range of 3.5x-4.5x. Liquidity across portfolio companies remains robust, with reserves covering debt obligations for the next 12 months and beyond. Adani Group's asset base expanded by USD 9 billion in H1 financial year 2025 to USD 60 billion, while gross debt grew by only USD 2 billion. Equity now accounts for 63 per cent of total funding.


Debt maturities until the 2034 financial year are comfortably manageable with current levels, even assuming no growth. This stability aligns with the group's long-term plans to invest USD 100 billion over the next decade.


Adani Group's core infrastructure businesses, which include energy, transport, and utilities, remain the bedrock of its performance, contributing 86.8 per cent of H1 for financial year 2025 EBITDA. Emerging businesses in green energy, airports, and roads saw EBITDA growth of 70.1 per cent year-over-year.

Other businesses:

Adani Enterprises:

Passenger volumes across airports rose 6 per cent  YoY, while solar module sales jumped 91 per cent.

Adani Green Energy:

Operational capacity increased by 34 per cent YoY, with construction commencing on a 500 MW hydro pump storage project.

Adani Energy Solutions:

Expanded its transmission network by 2,760 ckm and secured three new projects.

Adani Ports and SEZ:

Cargo volumes grew 9 per cent year-over-year, while acquisitions bolstered operational capacity.

Acquisitions raised the group's cement capacity to 97.8 million tonnes per annum.


The Adani Group maintained cash reserves of INR 53,024 crore as of September 2024, equivalent to 21 per cent of its gross debt. These reserves ensure liquidity for 28 months of debt servicing.
