Adani Group Stocks

History of the Adani Group

The Adani Group was established in 1988 by Gautam Adani as a commodity trading company. The first pivotal development came in the 1990s when Mundra Port in Gujarat was established, which commenced operations by 1998-99 and soon became an important commercial port in India. The success of Mundra port allowed the group to grow further in logistics and infrastructure.

During the 2000s, under Gautam Adani, the group expanded into the power sector, which initially largely focused on thermal energy. Around 2015-16, the group amped up its clean energy efforts, and since then, Adani Green Energy has become a well-recognised renewable energy developer globally.

In 1999, the group formed a joint venture with Wilmar International of Singapore, resulting in the Adani Wilmar partnership focusing on Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). The group has also diversified to include, among other sectors, a city gas distribution business and airports.

With its rapid expansion, the Adani Group has identified itself as one of the significant drivers behind India's infrastructure-led economic development model. The group continues to ride India’s mammoth industrial development, having achieved its own success from being a small trading company to a business endowed with a large infrastructure-focused footprint.

Sector Presence of the Adani Group

The group’s operations cut across multiple sectors that are fundamental to national development. Its flagship business is infrastructure, with Adani Ports managing a network of strategic ports and logistics hubs. In energy, the group has a dual footprint. While Adani Power oversees thermal generation, Adani Green Energy takes charge of renewables.

Adani Transmission focuses on smooth electricity distribution, and Adani Total Gas focuses on city gas networks that reach into urban and per-urban areas, with rural penetration in an evolving phase. On the consumer side, Adani Wilmar caters to everyday household needs through its popular edible oil and packaged food offerings. The group’s presence in airports further deepens its role in India's connectivity infrastructure.

By participating in such varied sectors, the Adani Group doesn’t just diversify its own revenue, it also gives investors an all-in-one exposure to core drivers of India’s economic progress.

Adani Group of Companies

The Adani Group is made up of several listed entities, each playing a critical role in India’s industrial landscape. At its core is Adani Enterprises, the group’s innovation hub and incubator of new ventures. Adani Ports is a respected name in port operations, handling a substantial portion of India’s cargo traffic. Meanwhile, Adani Green Energy has a good base in the global push for sustainable power, managing large-scale solar and wind projects.

It is also known for its power infrastructure. Adani Transmission keeps power flowing across states, and Adani Power meets a significant share of the country’s electricity demand. Adani Total Gas enables cleaner energy access in cities, and Adani Wilmar is an established player in the packaged food and FMCG space.

Together, these companies show how the Adani Group has balanced legacy infrastructure with future-ready initiatives. Their combined effort underscores the group’s vision to support India’s energy, mobility, and consumer needs.
