Earlier this month Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the power-to-port conglomerate, became the third group company to join the elite Rs 1-trillion market capitalisation (market-cap) league. Five out of the group’s six publicly traded companies are now firmly saddled in the top 100 most-valued Indian companies (by market cap). Two out of these, Adani Green Energy (Rs 1.81 trillion) and Adani Ports and SEZ Ltd (Rs 1.47 trillion), still command a market cap of well above Rs 1 trillion-mark while Adani Enterprises is within kissing distance of the figure at Rs 0.98 trillion as of March 12, 2021 closing prices.
