Adani Group’s portfolio companies posted their highest-ever quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of ₹23,793 crore in the June quarter of FY26.

“The Adani Portfolio EBITDA has crossed the ₹90,000 crore milestone on a trailing twelve-month basis for the first time, with Q1 EBITDA also reaching a record high,” the billionaire Gautam Adani-led conglomerate said in a release today.

As per the company, the strong performance was driven by sustained growth in incubating businesses (notably Airports under Adani Enterprises), along with Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Ports & SEZ, and Ambuja Cements. The group said core infrastructure businesses—including utilities, transport, and Adani Enterprises’ infrastructure vertical—contributed 87% to consolidated EBITDA in Q1.

Incubating infrastructure assets such as airports, renewables, and roads crossed the ₹10,000 crore EBITDA mark for the first time, while cement adjacencies delivered strong growth, with TTM EBITDA rising 26.9% year-on-year to ₹9,249 crore, the release noted.

As per the release, robust contributions from these businesses more than offset the dip in Adani Enterprises’ (AEL) existing. The flagship’s existing businesses reported a 19% decline in EBITDA during the quarter, impacted by lower trade volume and volatility of index prices in IRM (Integrated Resource Management).
