Adani group’s promoter entities are looking to sell stakes in some group entities to raise funds that can be used to retire high cost loans taken to fund its acquisition of Ambuja Cements and ACC as well as to invest in real estate in Mumbai, sources said.

The promoter entities are likely to sell around 3-5 per cent stake in some companies where they have comfortably high stakes such as Adani Power (72.7 per cent), Ambuja Cements (70.3 per cent) and Adani Enterprises (74.7 per cent), to raise up to ₹15,000 crore, the sources said.

Adani family plans to sell $500 million of Ambuja Cements Ltd.’s shares.

Holderind Investments Ltd. will sell 69.96 million shares, or 2.84% stake in the cement maker, for 41.98 billion rupees, according to terms of the deal seen by Bloomberg. 

The terms didn’t elaborate how the founders intend to use the proceeds from the stake sale. CNBC-Awaaz reported earlier Thursday, citing people it didn’t identify, that Adani founders may sell as much as 5% stake in Adani Power Ltd. and Ambuja Cements to repay the media-to-mining conglomerate’s debt.

Ambuja is one of the two firms the Adani Group bought in 2022 from Holcim Ltd. to emerge as India’s second-largest cement maker overnight. The conglomerate, which faced a withering short seller attack from Hindenburg Research LLC last year, is now back on its growth spree. It has been buying local cement firms in an escalating turf war with sector leader, UltraTech Cement Ltd. to dominate a raw material key to India’s infrastructure boom.

The transaction will help boost Adani companies’ public float. Robust appetite for the group’s share sale will also be a sign of investor confidence after Hindenburg’s allegations of a widespread corporate malfeasance in 2023 sparked a rout in the group’s shares. Adani Group has repeatedly denied these allegations.

Jefferies India is the advisor for the secondary market transaction, which will be executed Friday.
