Adani Energy Plans Share Sale by Early Next Fiscal: Sources

MUMBAI, July 31 (Reuters) - India's Adani Energy Solutions may launch another share sale for institutional investors by early ​next fiscal year, after securing 35 billion rupees (about $367 million) in ‌a similar fundraise this week, two sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

Companies belonging to billionaire Gautam Adani's ports-to-power conglomerate have raised about $4.75 billion over the ​last eight months through QIPs and rights issues to fund ​expansion and reduce debt.

The group's flagship, Adani Enterprises, raised $1.58 billion ⁠via a QIP earlier this month and $2.8 billion through a rights issue. ​Another group company, Adani Power, plans to raise up to $1.57 billion through ​a QIP.

This marks the biggest capital raise from the group since a short seller's allegations roiled its shares in 2023.

Adani Energy Solutions has shareholder approval to raise ​up to 100 billion rupees through shares in one or more ​tranches.

If market conditions remain favourable, the company may go for the entire remaining quantum ‌in ⁠the next tranche, the sources said.

"After such a strong response, the company may tap the QIP market again towards the end of this financial year or early next FY," one of the sources said.

India's fiscal ​year runs April ​through March.

The sources ⁠requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to media. Adani Energy Solutions did not reply to ​a Reuters email seeking comment.

Mutual funds and insurance companies ​were ⁠the biggest buyers of Adani Energy Solutions' shares in this week's fundraise, according to a company statement, with the firm receiving offers totalling three times ⁠its ​target.

Shares of the firm, which is the ​largest private sector power transmission company in India, have jumped more than 60% so far ​in 2026.
