Adani Enterprises launched QIP worth ₹4,200 crore as part of a ₹16,600 crore fundraise plan. The funds will be used for capital expenditure and debt repayment. Adani Enterprises share price closed at ₹3,152.40, 0.26% lower on October 9.
Adani Enterprises Limited, the flagship company of Gautam Adani’s conglomerate, launched the first tranche of its Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) on October 9, aiming to raise ₹4,200 crore ($500 million). This move is part of a broader plan to raise ₹16,600 crore ($2 billion), with another QIP expected in the coming months.
The QIP launched has a base size of ₹4,200 crore, but Adani Enterprises has the option to increase the amount via a green shoe option. However, the company has not yet decided whether to exercise this option, depending on investor demand. Sources suggest there is already strong interest from institutional investors.
The funds raised from this QIP are expected to be used for capital expenditure and to repay existing debt for both Adani Enterprises and its subsidiaries. Adani Enterprises acts as an incubator for several of the group’s emerging businesses, including airports, mining, infrastructure, data centres, and green hydrogen projects.
The QIP has attracted significant interest from Gulf sovereign funds such as the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), and GQG, a leading global investor led by Rajiv Jain.
While the company originally planned to launch the share sale later in October, the timing was advanced due to the ongoing Middle East conflict and its impact on global equity flows.
This QIP follows a similar fundraising effort by Adani Energy, the group’s transmission and electricity distribution business. In July, Adani Energy raised $1 billion through a QIP, which was oversubscribed by nearly six times, attracting prominent foreign investors like GQG, Blackrock, and domestic mutual funds such as SBI MF, HDFC MF, and Tata MF.
Adani Enterprises share price closed at ₹3,152.40 on October 9, down by 0.26%. However, despite facing challenges earlier this year following the Hindenburg report, the stock has shown resilience, delivering a 26.18% return over the past 12 months.
