Ahmedabad’s Adani empire has received a glowing international thumbs-up. On Friday, Japan Credit Rating Agency (JCRA) rated Adani Ports and SEZ at A- (Stable), with Adani Green Energy and Adani Energy Solutions both at BBB+ (Stable) for long-term foreign currency credit.
These ratings, equivalent to India’s sovereign BBB+, validate Adani’s financial prowess. Group CFO Jugeshinder Singh called them a testament to disciplined capital management and high-performance infrastructure operations.
‘Deep business model strength and global stakeholder trust are confirmed,’ Singh stated. He emphasized how this bolsters Adani’s leadership in building India’s infrastructure backbone while ensuring quality growth.
JCRA specifically noted Adani Ports’ edge over sovereign ratings, citing its diversified assets, robust cash generation, and effective risk management. This places the port operator among elite Indian firms recognized internationally.
The move marks a first for JCRA evaluating Indian platforms at these levels, indicating deepening ties between Adani and global rating bodies. For green energy and solutions arms, the ratings support ambitious expansion plans in sustainable sectors.
As India pushes infrastructure-led growth, Adani’s ratings enhance its appeal to institutional investors worldwide. This could lower borrowing costs and fuel further investments in ports, renewables, and energy networks.
