So, what exactly is driving the massive rally in Adani Green’s stock?
There are three reasons.
In an exchange filing earlier this month, Adani Green reported a surge of 56% in its total operational capacity to 5,410 megawatts (MW) in the March 2022 quarter, compared to a year ago.
In the same period, its total energy sales surged 84% to 2,971 million units, from 1,614 million units a year ago. This, together with the expansion of operational capacity, shows that the company’s business is growing.
Adani Green raised $500 million (approx. ₹3,850 crore) in the form of primary capital from Abu Dhabi-based International Holding Company.
This, the company said, would help deleverage the balance sheet and improve the credit rating of Adani Green. In turn, this would help reduce the company’s cost of capital, and thereby, improve profits.
Adani Green also raised $288 million (approx. ₹2,200 crore) in the form of a debt pool from seven international banks to help finance the company’s 450MW hybrid solar and wind power projects in Rajasthan.
