Adani Enterprises Limited has finalised the acquisition of the remaining stake in IANS India Private Limited, consolidating full ownership of the media entity through its subsidiary structure.
The acquisition was executed by AMG Media Networks Limited (AMNL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises.
With the completion of this transaction, IANS has now become a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of the company.
The deal involved acquiring the balance minority stake, effectively giving the group complete control over the media platform.
The company acquired 24% Category I shares carrying voting rights along with 0.74% Category II shares without voting rights.
The total consideration for the transaction stood at ₹4.70 crore, and the deal was completed in line with the previously executed share purchase agreement.
The acquisition was carried out on a cash basis and has already been concluded.
IANS operates in the media and news distribution space, focusing on the collection and dissemination of news content. The acquisition aligns with Adani Group’s broader strategy of strengthening its presence in the media ecosystem through its subsidiary network.
Incorporated in 1994, IANS has an established presence in the news services industry. The company reported revenues of ₹8.81 crore in FY25, compared to ₹9.74 crore in FY24 and ₹11.86 crore in FY23, indicating a gradual decline in turnover over recent years.
Despite this, the acquisition reflects long-term strategic positioning rather than immediate financial gains.
The transaction does not require any regulatory approvals and has been executed at arm’s length.
As the acquisition involves a subsidiary structure, it has been categorised within related party considerations, though conducted under standard commercial terms.
