Background

It was demerged from Adani Enterprises and listed on Indian stock exchanges, after which it expanded its portfolio from inter-state transmission lines into power distribution and other consumer-facing energy services.
The entity was subsequently rebranded as Adani Energy Solutions Limited to reflect a broadened mandate that includes transmission, distribution, smart metering, and related energy solutions, positioning the company as an integrated utility platform within the Adani Group.
Business operations
Transmission
The company owns and operates a network of high-voltage transmission lines and substations across multiple Indian states. Projects are developed both through tariff-based competitive bidding and via acquisitions of operating transmission assets.
Distribution
Through its subsidiary Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited (AEML), the company supplies electricity to consumers in parts of Mumbai. AEML was formed following the acquisition of the Mumbai power distribution business previously operated by Reliance Infrastructure.
Smart metering and new businesses
Adani Energy Solutions has entered the smart metering segment, undertaking the installation and operation of smart electricity meters under contracts awarded by various state distribution utilities. The company has also indicated interest in cooling-as-a-service and other downstream energy offerings.
