Wilmar stake-sale boosts profits of Adani Enterprises for FY25; declares dividend

Riding on Adani Wilmar’s stake-sale, the flagship entity of Adani Group, Adani Enterprises, on Thursday reported a consolidated Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹7,112 crore for financial year 2024-25, a growth of almost 120 per cent over the previous year.

However, the consolidated PAT numbers include a post-tax exceptional gain of ₹3,286 crore from 13.5 per cent stake-sale of Adani Wilmar, the company said. The board of directors also recommended a dividend of ₹1.30 (130 per cent) per equity share of face value of ₹1 each fully paid up for FY25. The board also approved plans to raise ₹15,000 crore through various equity instruments.

“Our robust performance in FY25 is a direct outcome of our strengths in scale, speed and sustainability. Impressive growth across our incubating businesses reflects the power of disciplined execution, future-focused investments and a commitment to operational excellence, innovation and sustainability. As we scale up in energy transition, airports, data centres and mining services, we are creating new market leaders that will drive India’s growth story for decades to come,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group.

Despite the profits, the consolidated total income rose 2 per cent to ₹1,00,364 crore. This was largely due to a 37 per cent decline in the Integrated Resource Management (IRM) business vertical; FY25 saw IRM revenues fall to ₹39,263 crore.

Group businesses

The consistent growth of the company’s key incubating businesses such as the new energy ecosystem, airports, roads and data centres boosted the company’s overall consolidated results for FY25. The New Energy Ecosystem under Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) saw revenues rise 63 per cent to ₹13,965 crore. Solar Module sales increased 59 per cent on a year-on-year basis to 4,263 MW with higher EBITDA margins on account of improved realisation and operational efficiency. Having secured financial closure, the company also started construction for an additional 6-GW cell and module line capacity extension.

The company’s airport operations saw a 27 per cent growth with revenues rising to ₹10,015 crore. A total of 12 new routes and eight new flights were added during the fourth quarter of FY25. Passenger and cargo movements during the year rose 7 per cent and 8 per cent respectively. Similarly, the road construction business saw a 35 per cent increase in revenues to ₹9,694 crore for FY 25.
