Adani Group’s Contribution to Exchequer Rises 29% to ₹74,945 Cr in FY25
The Adani Group on Thursday announced a substantial 29% year-on-year increase in its total contribution to the exchequer, reaching ₹74,945 crore in FY25 through its portfolio of listed companies. This is up from ₹58,104 crore in FY24, marking a significant boost to India’s public finances.
Of the total, the group made direct contributions of ₹28,720 crore, indirect contributions of ₹45,407 crore, and other contributions totaling ₹818 crore, according to a company statement.
To put the figure in context, ₹74,945 crore is roughly equivalent to the cost of constructing the entire Mumbai Metro network — a critical urban infrastructure system — or enough to host a modern-day Olympic Games, underscoring the scale of the group’s fiscal impact.
