Mumbai, June 6: The Adani Group’s listed portfolio of companies contributed Rs 74,945 crore to the exchequer in fiscal 2025, marking a 29% jump from Rs 58,104 crore in the previous year, as per a press release on Thursday. The contribution spans direct, indirect, and other tax- payments.
Of the total contribution, direct payments accounted for Rs 28,720 crore, while indirect contributions which include taxes and duties collected and paid on behalf of other stakeholders stood at Rs 45,407 crore. Another Rs 818 crore was made in the form of social security and similar outlays for employees.
“To put it in perspective, Rs 74,945 crore is roughly the cost of building the entire Mumbai Metro network—an infrastructure lifeline for millions of people. It’s also nearly enough to host a modern-day Olympics,” said the press release.
Leading contributors to this figure include Adani Enterprises Ltd., Adani Cement Ltd., Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd., and Adani Green Energy Ltd. The total also includes tax paid by NDTV, ACC, and Sanghi Industries, which are subsidiaries held by the seven primary listed firms.
To further support transparency, the group has released a ‘Basis of Preparation and Approach to Tax’ document on the websites of its listed companies. The report outlines three types of contributions:
Direct Contributions: Global taxes, duties, and other charges borne directly by Adani companies.
Indirect Contributions: Global taxes and duties collected and remitted on behalf of third parties.
Other Contributions: Social security and similar benefits for employees.
The Adani Group said it sees tax transparency as a key component of its Environmental, Social and Governance strategy.
