Adani Energy Solutions Limited (“AESL”), today said it has successfully completed its INR 8,373 crores (USD 1 billion) Qualified Institutional Placement (“QIP”), the largest in India’s power sector. This milestone underscores AESL’s prominent position as a leader in India’s energy transition solutions and highlights investors’ confidence in the country’s power sector outlook.
This QIP marks AESL’s first equity raise in the capital market since its demerger and listing from Adani Enterprises Limited (“AEL”) in July 2015. AESL’s consistent double-digit EBITDA growth since 2016 is a testament to the successful incubation model of AEL.
The transaction was launched post-market hours on 30 July 2024 with a base deal size of INR 5,861 crore (USD 700 million) and included a green shoe option to size up to INR 8,373 crore (USD 1 billion).
The QIP saw overwhelming demand, receiving bids of approximately 6x of the base deal size from a diverse group of investors, including utility-focused US investors entering India for the first time, sovereign wealth funds, major Indian mutual funds, and insurance companies. This strong interest enabled AESL to fully exercise the green shoe option, raising the total issue size to USD 1 billion.
AESL has emerged as a pivotal player in India’s energy transition solutions, duly focusing on key areas such as:

The overwhelming response to our QIP reflects the strong confidence that investors have in our robust business model, execution capabilities, and effective capital allocation strategy, driving strong growth and exceptional shareholder value,” said Mr. Kandarp Patel, Chief Executive Officer of AESL.
