Among individual stocks, Adani Power hit a new high of Rs 875 as it zoomed 16 per cent in the intraday trade today. The stock of the integrated power utilities company has surged 25 per cent in the past two trading days.
Adani Power said peak power demand is expected to reach 260 gigawatts this summer. Even while renewable power capacities are growing, India will need more thermal power to meet this rising demand. Looking at this, the government has issued directives to ensure adequate fuel supply for thermal power plants and to maximize their uptime. It has also raised its projections for incremental thermal power installation from 50 gigawatts to more than 80 gigawatts.
Adani Power, as India's foremost private power producer, is very well placed to benefit from the long-term power demand outlook. Various DISCOMs have already announced their intention to invite bids for long-term PPAs from thermal power projects.
Adani Total Gas, meanwhile, rallied 15 per cent to Rs 1,197.95, followed by Adani Green Energy (13 per cent to Rs 1,915), Adani Energy Solutions (11 per cent at Rs 1,249), NDTV (10 per cent at Rs 274.90), Adani Enterprises (10 per cent at Rs 3,743) and Adani Ports (10 per cent at Rs 1,575).
Adani Enterprises' strategic business investments are centered around green hydrogen ecosystem, airport management, data center, roads and primary industries like copper and petrochem - all of which have significant scope for value unlocking.
Adani Enterprises, in its FY24 annual report, said that net Debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (Ebitda) further fell to 2.2x from 3.3x over the past year, giving it additional headroom for future growth.
Meanwhile, given the renewable energy (RE) growth potential, the group power businesses Adani Green Energy revised its FY 2029-30 target from 45 GW to 50 GW.
The Indian government’s estimates project a 6.2 per cent compounded annual growth rate in power demand, which is set to double by FY 2031-32 as compared to the all-India demand in FY 2020-21.
Key drivers of this projected growth are rising urbanisation and consumption of power by domestic and commercial users, growth impetus being given to the manufacturing sector through various production-linked incentives, higher demand for irrigation, railway traction, etc. On the other hand, one of the major policy thrusts of the Government, a reduction in Transmission & Distribution losses, which is projected to improve from 16.5 per cent in FY 2021-22 to 12.6 per cent in FY 2031-32, will partially temper the translation of growth in energy requirements to overall electricity demand, Adani Power said in FY24 annual report.
