Veteran industrialist Gautam Adani’s Adani Group has registered a 33 percent jump in pre-tax profit in the first quarter (April-June) of the current financial year (2024-25). The reason for this excellent result is the strong performance of the core infrastructure business as well as emerging businesses from solar and wind manufacturing to airports. According to the news of Bhasha, the group said in a statement on Monday that the profit before tax (EBITDA) in the first quarter grew 32.87 percent year-on-year to Rs 22,570 crore. The EBITDA for the last 12 months (TTM) stood at Rs 79,180 crore, which is 45.13 percent higher than the same period last year.
Group net profit increased by more than 50 percent
According to the news, the group’s net profit grew by more than 50 percent to Rs 10,279 crore in the first quarter of the current financial year 2024-25. The group said that the steadily growing EBITDA is mainly due to the group’s highly stable and strong core infrastructure platform. The core infrastructure platform comprises Adani Enterprises Limited’s key infrastructure businesses, utility (Adani Green Energy, Adani Power, Adani Energy Solutions, and Adani Total Gas) and transportation (Adani Ports & SEZ) businesses.
