In a recent note, brokerage firm Jefferies highlighted Adani Enterprises’ plans to scale its captive manufacturing capacity towards starting Green Hydrogen production by financial year 2027.

The firm also expects the Navi Mumbai airport to be commissioned by the fourth quarter of the current financial year.

Adani Ports has outlined a business roadmap that includes growing its Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18% over financial year 2024 – 2029.

Adani Green has also raised its 2030 power capacity target to 50 GW from 45 GW, which will include 5 GW of pumped hydro.

Adani Enterprises is currently the top gainer on the Nifty 50 index, trading with gains of 6%. The group’s stocks have been driven by a combination of positive business outlook and investor confidence in the group’s recovery from the Hindenburg saga.
