It has surpassed the largest paint manufacturer Asian Paints, the telecom giant Bharti Airtel, and the conglomerate ITC, which owns everything from hotels to cigarettes. It is currently India’s ninth most valued firm and one of the multibagger stocks, meaning that its investors have received returns that are greater than three times what they invested.
All of the Adani Group firms have a $237 billion market capitalization. With a net worth of $128 billion, Gautam Adani, the chairman of the group and CEO of seven publicly traded firms, is the fourth richest person in the world, overtaking Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Adani Transmission’s share price is rising thanks to a bullish market trend that is supported by declining national inflation and a turnaround in FII inflows.
The domestic inflation level is lowering, according to Shrikant Chouhan, head of equity research (Retail) at Kotak Securities, and this has increased predictions that the central bank’s planned interest rate hike will stall. While a substantial injection of FII funds has undoubtedly improved investor sentiment.
