History

Adani Transmission was founded by

]

In July 2023, the company was renamed to Adani Energy Solutions[10] to better reflect its suite of products and services.[11]

Mergers and acquisitions

In 2015, ATL acquired three wholly owned subsidiaries of PFC Consulting, which itself is a subsidiary of Power Finance Corporation – the Chhattisgarh-WR transmission line, Sipat transmission line connecting with Sipat Thermal Power Station and Raipur-Rajnandgaon-Warora transmission line.[12]

In 2016, ATL further acquired the GMR Group’s transmission assets in the state of Rajasthan — the Maru Transmission Services Ltd (MTSL) and Aaravalli Transmission Services Ltd (ATSL).[13] In the same year, the company also acquired Reliance Infrastructure's transmission assets of the Western Region System Strengthening Scheme (WRSSS).[14]

In December 2017, the company obtained a share purchase agreement (SPA) for the acquisition of the Mumbai Generation Transmission & Distribution (GTD) business from Reliance Infrastructure.[15][16] In March 2018, the shareholders of Reliance Infrastructure approved the sale of its power business for Rs. 18,800 crore to Adani Transmission Limited.[17][18] This resulted in the founding of Adani Mumbai Electricity Limited, a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of ATL which currently serves more than 3 million consumers across a license area of approximately 400 square kilometers in the city of Mumbai.[19]

In February 2019, ATL acquired

Khetri transmission project in Rajasthan.[24][25][26]

In July 2020, the company signed definitive agreements with Kalpataru Power Transmission (KPTL) for acquiring Alipurduar Transmission.[27][28][9][29] adding 650 circuit kilometers in its network from the state of Bihar and West Bengal.[8]

Controversies

Allegations of stock manipulation

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research published the findings of a two-year investigation claiming that Adani had engaged in market manipulation and accounting malpractices; Hindenburg also disclosed that it was holding short positions on Adani Group companies.[30][31][32][33] Bonds and shares of companies associated with Adani experienced a decline in value after the accusations.[34][35] Adani denied the fraud allegations as unfounded and ill intentioned.[36]
