Fitch Revises Outlook on Adani Ports and Adani Energy to Stable; Affirms Ratings at 'BBB-'

Fitch Ratings on November 3, 2025, revised the outlook on Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ) to Stable from Negative, while affirming its long-term foreign-currency issuer default rating at 'BBB-'. Similarly, the outlook for Adani Energy Solutions Limited (AESL) was revised to Stable, with IDRs affirmed at 'BBB-'.

The rating agency highlighted APSEZ's strong portfolio of strategically located ports with operational efficiency and adequate liquidity, noting that about half of its cargo is "sticky," supported by contractual take-or-pay agreements. The company’s internal cash generation sufficiently covers near-term operations and budgeted capex, maintaining stable financial health.

Fitch also affirmed the 'BBB-' rating on notes issued by Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited, another group entity, citing steady leverage and adequate funding access. While risks from ongoing US investigations into the Adani Group's governance remain, Fitch believes these have moderated with consistent access to funding and operational resilience.
