The Adani Group has released its Q1 FY25 Results and Credit Compendium, showcasing strong financial performance. The group's EBITDA surged by 32.87 per cent year-on-year, reaching Rs 22,570 crore. This led to a trailing twelve-month EBITDA of Rs 79,180 crore, reflecting a 45.13 per cent increase from the previous year.
The growth is primarily driven by Adani Group's core infrastructure platform, which accounts for over 80 per cent of the portfolio EBITDA. The 'Core Infrastructure' platform comprises AEL's Infrastructure businesses, Utility (Adani Green Energy, Adani Power, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani Total Gas) and Transport (Adani Ports & SEZ) businesses.
The group's emerging businesses, including solar and wind manufacturing, airports, and roads, now contribute 13.3 per cent to the portfolio's EBITDA, up from 7.2 per cent a year ago. Adani Enterprises' solar module manufacturing saw sales rise by 125 per cent year-on-year, while its airport business reported a significant increase in passenger movement, routes, and consumer offerings. The transport segment also showed strong performance, with Adani Ports & SEZ achieving a 29.62 per cent EBITDA increase and securing new port concession agreements.
Additionally, the utility segment saw a 41.44 per cent EBITDA rise, driven by Adani Power's 53.6 per cent growth and Adani Green Energy's 30.3 per cent increase in operational capacity. The company also made strides in infrastructure development, with key projects such as the Khavda-Bhuj Transmission Line and the commissioning of Vizhinjam port.
