Adani Group companies have come under pressure over the past three weeks after reports accused it of improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation, but the company has denied the allegations.
The group’s seven publicly traded stocks have collectively lost more than $120 billion in market capitalization since January 24.
The earnings were underpinned by major coal trading divisions and new energy businesses. Shares rose 9% after the earnings announcement.
The company posted a consolidated profit of INR 8.2 billion ($99.11 million) for the quarter ended December 31, compared to a net loss of INR 116.3 million in the same period last year.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the flagship coal trading business surged by a whopping fourfold, while earnings for the Adani New Energy segment more than doubled.
