Adani Enterprises Q4: Net profit surges over 8 times on exceptional gain, EBITDA jumps 19%; company announces dividend

Billionaire Gautam Adani-backed Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) on Thursday, May 1, reported a net profit of ₹3,845 crore in the January-March quarter, marking an increase of 752% from ₹451 crore logged in the same period last year. The sharp jump in profit came on the back of an exceptional gain of ₹3,945.73 crore resulting from stake sales in Adani Wilmar (now known as AWL Agri Business).

Its revenue from operations, however, declined 7% to ₹27,601.64 crore as against ₹29,630 crore seen in the year-ago period.

During the quarter, Adani Enterprises reduced its stake in Adani Wilmar to 30.42% from 43.94%, the company said in an exchange filing.

The company's operating profit, also known as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA), rose 19% to ₹4,346 crore at the end of the March quarter from ₹3,646 crore in the year-ago period.

Its operating profit margin improved by 340 basis points to 15.74% from 12.30%.

Adani Enterprises' board has recommended a dividend of ₹1.30 per share.

"At Adani Enterprises, we are building businesses that will define the way forward for India's infrastructure and energy sector,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group.

“Our robust performance in FY25 is a direct outcome of our strengths in scale, speed and sustainability. Impressive growth across our incubating businesses reflects the power of disciplined execution, future-focused investments and a commitment to operational excellence, innovation and sustainability. As we scale up in energy transition, airports, data centres and mining services, we are creating new market leaders that will drive India's growth story for decades to come. Each success across our incubation spectrum accelerates our mission to create long-term value and catalyses India's emergence as a global economic powerhouse," Adani added.

During the quarter, Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL), AEL’s green hydrogen ecosystem arm, made substantial progress in solar and wind energy production. Its module sales surged 59% annually to 4,263 MW. The company has also commenced construction for an additional 6 GW cell and module line, Adani Enterprises said.

ANIL expanded its Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) capacity to 2.25 GW (450 sets annually) and won the ICC Green Energy Award for its contributions to sustainable energy.

AEL’s credit rating was upgraded to AA-/Stable by CARE Ratings, with ICRA also recognising its execution capabilities in large-scale projects and sustainable business incubation, the company added.

Adani Enterprises shares ended 1.43% lower at ₹2,297.70 a day ahead of its earnings announcement.
