How durable is the business?
Mining services (MDO) saw a 40% increase in dispatch volumes and a 100% jump in EBITDA. Management expects volumes to grow further to 60 million tons in the next 18 months. (5 expanding across 2 engines)
“IRM Total Income Q3-25 9,562 Q3-26 7,169 (25%) Impacted due to low volume and prices”
The Airports segment is expanding rapidly with EBITDA growing 43% year-on-year. Management is shifting focus toward 'non-aero' revenue (retail/dining) which shows high seasonality during Indian festivals. (5 expanding across 2 engines)
“Airports Total Income Q3-25 2,939 Q3-26 3,770 28% Increased in line with tariff revision and non-aero growth”
The IRM segment continues to experience volatility and a decline in performance, with core business tracking 11% lower than the previous year. Management notes this variability is inherent to the business nature but expects its overall impact on the group to dilute as other segments like Metals and MDO grow. (1 contracting)
“And that part of core IRM business overall this year is around 11% less than what we were last year... there is an inherent variation, fluctuation in that business by the very nature.”
The company possesses a significant cost and logistics advantage in its mining and trading operations through its integrated infrastructure and long-term service contracts across multiple Indian states.
“Total 17 Mining Service Contracts from 11 Customers across 6 states... 29% growth available from operational contracts”

The airport business is showing strong growth momentum, with EBITDA reaching INR 3,480 crores for FY25 and maintaining a run rate of approximately INR 1,000 crores per quarter. Management expects this to climb to INR 4,500 - 5,000 crores in coming quarters. (5 accelerating across 5 signals)
“AAHL Airports EBITDA surpasses FY-25 full year EBITDA by 7% in nine-months”
Mining services (MDO) volumes have surged significantly, ending FY25 at 43.3 MMT (a 40% increase), with management guiding towards 60 MMT within the next 18 months. (4 accelerating, 1 steady across 5 signals)
“Mining Service Increased in line with higher volume... EBITDA 29% Increase”

What could break the thesis?
Capex intensity is increasing. The company completed INR 31,500 crores in FY25 and has raised the guidance for FY26 to over INR 36,000 crores. (5 intensifying, 3 high-severity)
“Net External Debt 30,966 [Mar-24] ... 62,129 [Dec-25]. Increase in external debt during the nine-month period deployed in incubating infra-assets”
The Integrated Resource Management (IRM) business continues to face severe pressure, with annual volumes dropping 31% from 82.1 MMT to 56.5 MMT. EBITDA for the segment fell from Rs. 5,173 cr to Rs. 3,585 cr, dragging down the performance of established businesses. (5 intensifying, 2 high-severity)
“Established businesses EBITDA & PBT impacted primarily on account of decrease in trade volume and price volatility in IRM and Commercial Mining”
Execution risk has significantly eased. Road construction surged 3.7x from 514.8 L-KMs in FY24 to 2,410.1 L-KMs in FY25. The Ganga Expressway project is now 74-85% complete across various sections. (4 easing, 1 stable)
“Ganga Expressway is roughly INR18,000 crores asset and is a traffic risk project. So it would add significantly to Adani Roads revenue and EBITDA.”
The Integrated Resource Management (trading) business is highly unpredictable, with profits fluctuating based on global and domestic market conditions. [MARGIN_COST]
“The main variability for us in that business always remains the Integrated Resource Management given the continuing sort of global/domestic interplays. And that part of core IRM business overall this year is around 11% less than what we were last year.”
The company relies on a small number of customers for its mining services, which makes it vulnerable if one of those customers cancels a contract. [CONCENTRATION]
“Total 17 Mining Service Contracts from 11 Customers across 6 states”
