Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. (AESL) is set to hold a board meeting on Saturday, 31 May, in Ahmedabad to deliberate on a proposal to raise funds through the issuance of equity shares. The fundraising methods under consideration include private placement, qualified institutions placement (QIP), and preferential issue. The plan, however, will require shareholder approval before implementation.
This fundraising initiative aligns with AESL’s ambitious capital expenditure target of ₹16,000–18,000 crore for the ongoing financial year. A significant portion of this investment—₹12,000–13,000 crore—is earmarked for the transmission segment. An additional ₹4,000 crore is planned for investments in smart metering systems, while ₹1,600 crore will be directed towards improving distribution infrastructure.
Kandarp Patel, CEO of AESL, outlined these plans during an investor call held after the company’s earnings announcement in April. The proposed funding is aimed at supporting AESL’s growth and infrastructure upgrade initiatives.
AESL has demonstrated robust financial growth in recent quarters. In the March 2025 quarter, the company reported an 87% year-on-year rise in profit after tax, reaching ₹714 crore. Total income rose 36% to ₹6,596 crore.
For the entire financial year ending March 31, 2025, AESL recorded a 103% jump in profit after tax, reaching ₹2,427 crore, while its total income rose by 42% to ₹24,447 crore. The company’s orderbook at year-end stood at ₹60,000 crore.
Following the positive financial indicators and aggressive growth plans, Adani Energy Solutions share price closed at ₹880.95 on the NSE on Thursday, up by 1.38% for the day. The stock had reached a 52-week high of ₹1,348.00 and the current market capitalisation stands at ₹105,826 crore.
With a solid financial track record and a massive capex plan underway, Adani Energy Solutions is gearing up for its next growth phase. The upcoming board decision on equity fundraising could play a key role in driving its expansion and strengthening its position in India's evolving energy landscape.
