Ahmedabad, July 31 (NationPress) Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the leading entity of the Adani Group, announced on Thursday that EBITDA from its incubating businesses has seen a growth of 5 percent, reaching Rs 2,800 crore in the April-June quarter (Q1 FY26) compared to the previous year, contributing 74 percent to the quarterly results.
The consolidated EBITDA for the company stood at Rs 3,786 crore, with a consolidated profit before tax (PBT) of Rs 1,466 crore, and total income reported at Rs 22,437 crore for the quarter ending June 30.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, remarked, "Adani Enterprises has positioned itself as a premier infrastructure incubator globally. The significant enhancement in EBITDA from our incubating businesses underscores the robustness and scalability of our operational framework.”
This growth has been primarily driven by the airports sector, which exhibited an impressive 61 percent year-on-year EBITDA growth, amounting to Rs 1,094 crore.
"With pivotal assets such as the Navi Mumbai International Airport, the Copper Plant, and the Ganga Expressway nearing operational status, we are fast-tracking our goal of developing next-generation infrastructure platforms that are globally recognized, technologically advanced, and crucial to India's growth narrative," Gautam Adani added.
The quarter's results faced challenges mainly due to declines in trade volumes and fluctuations in index prices in the IRM and commercial mining sectors, as per the company's statement.
Among the key achievements this quarter, Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) secured its inaugural external order of 300 MW for its new 3.3 MW WTG model.
ANIL successfully provided 1GW of India’s largest 5.2 MW wind turbines and commissioned the nation’s first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen pilot plant, marking a significant milestone in India's clean energy transition.

AEL anticipates operationalizing its large infrastructure assets during this fiscal year, showcasing its project execution capabilities, which is expected to lead to EBITDA unlock and long-term value generation.
