With eight acquisitions, Adani Power is the most prolific buyer from bankruptcy court | Company Business News
Adani Power has become the top buyer of distressed power assets under India's bankruptcy law, with its eighth takeover now planned. About a third of its operational capacity comes from such deals. Buying stressed plants at low cost has helped the company grow cheaply. For business owners, this shows how insolvency can offer opportunities, but careful due diligence is essential before bidding.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Adani Power's proposed GVK Energy takeover would be its eighth acquisition through India's insolvency process.
- Roughly one-third of Adani Power's 18.3 GW operational capacity now comes from bankruptcy-law purchases.
- For acquisitions between 2019 and 2024, Adani Power paid around ₹21–28 per watt of power capacity.
