  1. GQG PARTNERS STANDS OUT AS THE LARGEST INVESTOR IN ADANI GROUP’S BLOCK DEALS

  2. GQG Partners Emerging Markets Equity Fund has turned out to be the largest investor in the block deal window of the Adani Group-owned Ambuja Cements Limited. On 23 August 2024, the US-based GQG Partners Emerging Markets Equity Fund obtained 1.71 crore shares in Ambuja Cements for INR 1,679 crore. This was at INR 625.5 a piece. This involves a 0.69% stake in Ambuja Cements. This is a huge win for the Adani Group as it continues to acquire the trust of long-standing investors after the Adani Crisis.

  3. The Sale of Shares: Holderind Investments Limited, an esteemed company owned by Gautam Adani and his family, has recently divested a 2.8% share in Ambuja Cements. This was done for a substantial amount of INR 4,251 crore. GQG Partners also made an impressive investment in the company. An investment worth INR 80,000 crore was made. This made GQG Partners the largest institutional investor in the Adani Group entities. The fund led by Rajiv Jain has strategically enhanced its investment. The company had initially entered the market with an acquisition in March 2023. Over the years, Rajiv Jain has made significant investments in Adani Group companies which helped the conglomerate recover from the Adani Crisis. These investments were made after the Hindenburg Research report was published. Among the 10 companies which are listed under the Adani Group, GQG Partners in multiple prominent companies like Adani Green Energy, Adani Enterprises, Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Power, Adani Ports and SEZ, and Ambuja Cements.

  4. The Hindenburg Blow: In February 2023, after the Hindenburg Report was published, the Adani Group companies’ total market capitalisation decreased to less than INR 7 lakh crore. By June 2024, this figure once again reached a peak value of INR 19.4 lakh crore. However, there has been a 12% decrease in the valuation. Since then, the current market capitalisation stands at INR 17.1 lakh crore. Because of the Hindenburg crisis, the Adani Group’s share values came down drastically. The company lost a lot of investors. However, the Adani Group always maintained a resilient approach. It tried to dilute its existing assets and carry out its business operations with full force. The company also made enormous efforts to gain back the trust of the investors. The investigations continued for months post which the Supreme Court gave its verdict in favour of the Adani Group. This caused the Adani Group to bounce back to its initial position of glory. It once again started carrying out its business operations with full force.

A significant part of this investment was made in two firms which are Adani Power and Adani Green Energy. As per recent reports, Rajiv Jain’s company holds a stake exceeding 7% in each of the two companies. Considering the overall investment portfolio, the investor has a total stake of around 5.2% in the broader group of companies. GQG has the highest holding in Adani Power.
