Adani Enterprises reported a strong Q3 FY24, with nine-month consolidated income of INR 77,702 crore and EBITDA up 58% YoY to INR 9,592 crore. Emerging businesses (green hydrogen, airports, roads) contributed 22% to total income and 45% to EBITDA, with income surging 92% to INR 17,067 crore. The IRM business saw EBITDA rise 21% to INR 3,526 crore on improved realizations. Management guided for a massive CapEx jump to ~INR 92,000 crore in FY25, driven by green hydrogen and airports. Key risks include execution delays in mining ramp-up (target 40 MT by FY25) and potential policy headwinds for coal imports. The airport strategy focuses on non-aero revenue, targeting 65% of EBITDA from non-PAX sources.
