According to analysts, Adani Enterprises has made significant progress in its strong incubation pipeline during the first half of FY24.

“We are fundamentally reshaping the essence of incubation scale and velocity,” Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said. “Adani Enterprises covers sectors that span energy, utility, transport, D2C, and primary industries. With many ventures now market-ready and thriving, our H1 FY23-24 results have been boosted by the core infra incubating businesses, thereby being a strong testament to our incubating ventures."
