Mumbai: The rights issue of Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) has turned into one of the most talked-about events in India’s equity markets, triggering an unexpected wave of enthusiasm among retail, institutional and high-net-worth investors alike. The buzz has grown so loud that a new phrase is doing the rounds among traders: “AEL liya kya?”
The excitement around AEL’s Rights Entitlement (RE) has been nothing short of electric. In just two trading sessions, the RE price jumped a staggering 23%, rising from ₹349.80 on December 3 to ₹430.65 on December 5. The speed and scale of this spike have left even seasoned market watchers surprised.
Strong Shareholding Backing Boosts Confidence
The updated shareholding pattern shows:
- Promoters: ~72%
- Institutional Investors: ~20%
- Retail Investors: ~8%
Even the main AEL stock mirrored this bullish sentiment, climbing from ₹2,190 to ₹2,265, underscoring broad-based confidence in the company’s long-term growth story.
A Rights Issue Too Attractive to Ignore
The central driver behind the frenzy is the deeply discounted rights issue price of ₹1,800 per share, significantly lower than the prevailing market valuation. For investors, this sharp discount translates into a rare opportunity to accumulate AEL shares at a compelling price.
The response has been phenomenal. Within just two days, the rights issue received nearly half the total bids seen in the first nine days—an unmistakable sign of accelerating interest as the deadline approaches.
Valued at ₹25,000 crore, AEL’s rights issue is one of the largest in Indian market history. The company has opted for a partly-paid structure, reducing the immediate financial burden on investors. With payments staggered over time, retail participants find the offer far more accessible and appealing.
AEL’s Expanding Growth Engine
The overwhelming response isn’t merely about pricing—it is about what AEL represents in India’s next phase of economic expansion.
The company is rapidly scaling up in sectors that are expected to anchor the country’s growth trajectory for the next decade:
- Airports
- Green Hydrogen
- Data Centres
- Defence
- Industrial Infrastructure
These sectors sit at the crossroads of India’s global ambitions in sustainability, security and digital transformation. Investors believe AEL will be at the centre of this multi-sectoral growth wave.
Countdown to December 10: Market Pulse Grows Louder
The last date to acquire Rights Entitlement is December 10, 2025, and the market atmosphere is heating up with each passing day. The sharp surge in RE prices, the heavy inflow of applications and the intense chatter on trading floors all point in one direction—AEL’s rights issue has captured investor imagination like few offerings in recent years.
As excitement peaks, the market sentiment echoes a unified chant—
“Everyone wants a piece of AEL!”
