Ahmedabad, June 2026: The Adani Portfolio—India’s leading infrastructure and utilities portfolio—today announced its FY26 financial performance and released the Credit and Results Compendium, providing an overview of performance and insights into its credit strength and long-term resilience.

FY26 marks an important inflection point for the Adani Portfolio, as Adani Portfolio companies began its next phase capex cycle. The scale of capital deployment during the year is comparable to the asset base we had built over our first 25 years, reflecting both the infrastructure opportunity before India and the group’s confidence in its long-term growth trajectory.

Several strategic assets entered operations during FY26 and since, including 5.1 GW of renewable energy capacity and 1.38 GWh of battery energy storage systems (now increased to 3.37 GWh) in the energy & utility vertical, Navi Mumbai International Airport, Guwahati Terminal and the Ganga Expressway (April 2026) in the transport & logistics vertical and copper smelter in the primary industries vertical. These assets are expected to contribute meaningfully to growth, earnings and cash flows in the years ahead.
