Why Adani Enterprises Shares are Falling
Moving on, Adani Enterprises was among the top buzzing stocks today.
The share price of Adani Enterprises tumbled 2.5% intraday, after the Adani Group increased the borrowing limit of its airport arm.
Adani Airport Holdings (AAHL) has raised funds from Rs 140 billion (bn) to Rs 16.5 bn to expand its eight airports nationwide.
It currently operates seven airports in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, Guwahati, and Thiruvananthapuram. Additionally, it is constructing Navi Mumbai Airport, scheduled to open at the end of 2024.
At least 90% of these loans were obtained as intercorporate deposits at interest rates ranging from 8% to 13.5% from other Adani Group firms, including Adani Enterprises, Adani Properties, and Adani Rail Infra.
It obtained a three-year external commercial borrowing facility from Standard Chartered Bank and Barclays Bank in May of this year for US$250 m (about Rs 1,950 crore). This has a $200 m additional fundraising possibility.
By 2027, the seven operating airports owned and operated by the Adani Group would be able to handle 75 million passengers.
With 1,528% rise in the stock price in the last two years, Adani Enterprises is among the top 5 best performing stocks since the March 2020 crash.
