Adani Group's Tax Contribution Surges: A Big Boost to India's Exchequer

The Adani Group, a major Indian business conglomerate, has significantly increased its tax payments to the government. In the financial year 2025, the group's total tax contribution reached a remarkable ₹74,945 crore, marking a 29% jump from the previous year.  

To put this huge sum into perspective, the company highlighted that this amount is roughly equal to the cost of building the entire Mumbai metro network or even hosting the Olympic Games.  

In the financial year 2023-24, the Adani Group had paid ₹58,104 crore through its various listed companies. The recent surge to ₹74,945 crore in FY25 demonstrates a substantial increase in its contribution to the national treasury. 

Where Did the Money Come From? 

The Adani Group detailed how this impressive figure of ₹74,945 crore was made up: 

• Direct Contributions: These were payments made directly by the Adani companies, totaling ₹28,720 crore. This includes global taxes, duties, and other charges that the Adani portfolio companies paid themselves. 

• Indirect Contributions: These amounted to ₹45,407 crore. This category includes global taxes and duties that the Adani companies collected from others (like customers or suppliers) and then paid to the government on their behalf. 

• Other Contributions: An additional ₹818 crore came from other areas, such as social security payments made for the benefit of employees.

Several of the Adani Group's publicly listed companies played a major role in this increased tax payment. The leading contributors include: 

• Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) 

• Adani Cement Limited (ACL) 

• Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) 

• Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) 

The total figure also includes the taxes paid by three other companies – NDTV, ACC, and Sanghi Industries – which are part of the seven listed companies within the Adani Group.

This document is available on the websites of its seven listed companies and offers a complete breakdown of the group's global tax and other contributions.
