The upgrade by CARE reflects Adani Enterprises’ improved financial flexibility, following a Rs 15,000-crore qualified institutional placement in July, and a 5.5% stake sale in its subsidiary Adani Airports Holding Ltd at a pre-money valuation of Rs 1.67 lakh crore. “Rating upgrade also factors in likely expansion of profit before interest, lease, depreciation and tax of AEL in FY27 supported by stabilisation of operations at Kutch Copper Limited, continued growth in non-aero revenue across airports and commencement and progressive ramp-up of operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport Limited,” the rating agency said on Wednesday. Adani Enterprises houses the incubating businesses of the Adani Group including airports, data center, defence and aerospace, mining services, and the road, metro and rail businesses. It previously incubated the ports, thermal, renewable power generation, power transmission, and city gas distribution businesses. “Strengthened financial flexibility of the Adani group, and the promoter family's substantial ownership across key group entities, enhances strategic importance of AEL and promoters' economic incentive to support diverse ventures of AEL in case of exigencies,” CARE said. Earlier in August, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani had called for a fundamental overhaul of infrastructure rating frameworks, urging analysts to widen their scope of analysis in line with the sophistication of the infrastructure being built in the country. India did not need lower rating standards but needed "wider lenses” to assess a new generation of infrastructure projects that create capabilities and ecosystems beyond their standalone cash flows, Adani had said as the keynote speaker at CareEdge Group Annual Summit in Mumbai. “This upgrade serves as an independent validation of AEL’s disciplined capital management and tight fiscal prudence,” Adani Enterprises said in an exchange filing. “AEL has constantly strengthened its credit profile over the last 7 years whilst executing an ever-increasing core infrastructure-led capex.” Rating agency ICRA has a ‘AA-’ rating for the company with a ‘stable’ outlook.
