Adani Ports Approves $1 Billion Fundraising Plan to Fuel Expansion

On Monday, June 2, 2025, Adani Ports share price rose over 3%, reaching a day high of ₹1,481.95 at 12:50 PM, after opening at ₹1,432.35 on BSE. The gain in Adani Ports shares follows the approval by the Board of Directors for a major fundraising initiative to support its ambitious expansion strategy.

Adani Ports Fundraising Plan

As part of this plan, Adani Ports intends to raise up to $1 billion through the issuance of outstanding senior notes in one or more tranches over the next six quarters, according to a filing with the stock exchanges.

These senior notes represent a form of debt that holds the highest repayment priority, providing investors with a relatively secure investment option.

Previous Capital Infusion

This announcement follows closely on the heels of a ₹5,000 crore capital infusion from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), a significant domestic debt raise and the largest in Adani Ports’ history. LIC, which already holds an 8% stake in the company, further reinforced its position through this latest transaction, as reported by the Times of India. The company is controlled by billionaire Gautam Adani, whose net worth stood at $66.2 billion as of May 31.

Adani Ports Outlook

Looking ahead, APSEZ has outlined plans for a ₹12,000 crore capital expenditure program through FY26, aimed at expanding its port capacity both domestically and internationally. A key component of this global strategy includes the planned acquisition of the North Queensland Export Terminal (NQXT) in Australia. The $2.5 billion deal, announced in April, involves purchasing the terminal from Singapore-based Abbot Point Port Holdings.
