"The distribution loss in the Mumbai utility is consistently improving and stands at 4.85 per cent in Q2 FY25," said Adani Energy Solutions.
In the quarter, AESL concluded the divestment of 500 MW of Adani Dahanu Thermal Power Station to a group company, in line with its ESG philosophy. This landmark step places AESL closer to its aspiration to be amongst the top 20 global companies in ESG ratings amongst the global utility industry.
The company raised Rs 8,373 crore through qualified institutional placement, qualifying it as the largest fundraiser in the Indian power sector. It also secured primary and secondary equity investments from marquee investors, such as Qatar Investment Authority and GQG Partners.
