Notes

  • Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) reported a consolidated net loss of ₹1,160 crore for the June quarter of FY27.

  • This marks the second consecutive quarter of consolidated net loss for the firm.
  • Despite the net loss, AEL achieved record quarterly operating profit driven by growth in airport and copper business segments.
