Ahmedabad, 2 January 2026: Adani Enterprises Limited (“the Company” or “AEL”), the flagship company of the Adani Group and India’s largest listed business incubators in terms of market capitalization with a long track record of creating sustainable infrastructure businesses since 1993, has announced the launch of its third public issuance of secured, rated, listed redeemable, non-convertible debentures.
“This third NCD issuance marks another step in our journey to broaden access to India’s capital markets and give retail investors a stake in long-term infrastructure growth. The strong response to our previous offerings reinforces trust in our strategy and financial discipline, and we aim to build on that momentum,” said Jugeshinder ‘Robbie’ Singh, Group CFO, Adani Group.”As the incubator for India’s next wave of infrastructure, from airports and roads to data centers and green hydrogen, AEL remains focused on creating businesses that will power India’s economic transformation,” he added.
AEL’s second NCD issuance of ₹1,000 crore, launched in July last year, was fully subscribed in 3 hours on the first day. AEL is the only private corporate (outside of NBFCs) offering a listed debt product for retail investors, thereby creating a rare opportunity for individual and non-institutional investors to participate in India’s infrastructure growth story. With the recent rate cuts and a softer interest rate cycle, the AEL NCD issue comes at an opportune time for investors seeking stable, fixed-income avenues. Offering competitive yields compared to similarly rated NCDs and fixed deposits, this public issue presents a valuable proposition for the investors.

The Issue will open on 6 January 2026, and close on 19 January 2026, with an option of early closure or extension.The NCDs have a face value of ₹1000 each.
