For further details, see "Our Business - Our Business Verticals" on page 180. To manage our operations and business growth into new verticals we may need to continue to grow and improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. We may need to incur significant capital expenditures and require the allocation of valuable management resources for our nascent businesses. We expect our expenses to increase in the future as we continue to expand our operations and to increase our investments in new business verticals, which will place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. If we invest substantial time and resources to expand our operations but fail to manage the growth of our existing businesses and fail to capitalize on our growth opportunities effectively, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. Further, our future revenue growth and profitability depends on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include market competition, regulatory environment, inflation, availability of raw materials, import and export restrictions, and other macroeconomic conditions. Our failure to manage our anticipated growth effectively could reduce our ability to execute our business strategies, recruit and retain personnel, innovate, and manage costs, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
-
The limited operating history of some of our businesses may not serve as an adequate basis to evaluate our future prospects, results of operations and cash flows.
Some of our businesses, such as new energy ecosystems, airports, roads, data centers, water management, commercial mining, copper, specialised manufacturing, defence, among others, have limited operating histories. For example, our first data center was commissioned only in October 2022 in Chennai. We ventured into the airports business in 2019 and have since won the mandate to modernize and operate six airports in India. Subsequently, we acquired the Mumbai International Airport Limited in 2021 and thereby won the contract for the greenfield Navi Mumbai International Airport, which was inaugurated on October 8, 2025. We started our roads business in 2018 and have operationalized seven road assets. We ventured into defence and aerospace business in 2017 and have built a portfolio of defence products. Our water, and metals and manufacturing businesses are at their nascent stages. The limited operating history of some of our businesses may therefore not serve as an adequate basis to evaluate our future prospects, results of operations and cash flows. Therefore period-to-period comparisons of our operating results and our results of operations for any period should not be relied upon as an indication of our performance for any future period.
-
Our integrated resources management business primarily depends on an increasing demand for imported coal in India and our ability to maintain a diverse supplier base.
Our integrated resources management operations typically depend on the order volume from our customers, our ability to procure coal from our suppliers on time, at the agreed price and quality, and provide logistics services to transport coal to Indian ports and then by rail or road to our customers. It also depends on the continued demand for imported coal in India. Any material change in the demand for imported coal, could have an adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. The demand for coal is primarily affected by overall economic development and the demand for coal from the electricity generation, steel and construction industries. The supply of coal, on the other hand, is primarily affected by the geographic location of the coal supplies, the volume of coal produced by domestic and international coal suppliers, and the quality and price of competing sources of coal. Alternative fuels such as natural gas and oil, alternative energy sources such as hydroelectric power and nuclear power, and international shipping costs also impact the market demand for coal. Currently, we sell coal to steel producers, cement manufactures and power generation companies. Therefore, demand for coal will be highly correlated to these industries.
Our ability to offer coal to customers as part of our integrated resource management business depends upon our ability to obtain adequate coal supply from our suppliers. As of September 30, 2025, we engaged with suppliers in Indonesia, South Africa and Australia. We typically enter into short-term contracts with our suppliers for the supply of coal at a
fixed price per ton of coal based on the prevailing coal indices over a given period, typically one year. The contracts also specify the quality, quantity and size of the coal required, the price and delivery terms and shipping terms. The loss of, or substantial decrease in the availability of coal from our suppliers, could adversely impact our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. We cannot assure you that if we experience a significant or prolonged shortage of coal from our suppliers, we will be able to source coal of comparable quality from other sources on similar commercial terms and at comparable costs, within a reasonable timeframe to meet our delivery schedules agreed with our customers on time. Further, the discontinuation of supply of raw materials by suppliers could lead to cancellation of orders or loss of business for us, reducing our sales and affecting our estimates of anticipated sales, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, supply interruptions could arise from reduced or slower coal offtake by suppliers, labour disputes, regulatory changes, export or import restrictions, disruptions in transportation which may depend on the availability and functioning of ports, ships, trucks or rails to transport the coal, wars such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, India-Pakistan conflict and the Israel-Gaza conflict, or other factors beyond our control. Failure by our suppliers to continue to supply us with coal on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, would put pressure on our operating margins and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
We may also face instances where claims against suppliers for losses caused to customers by low quality coal are disputed and recovery of such losses from the supplier is delayed, causing us to compensate the customer from our own revenue. If such events occur, it could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our orders and in-turn, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We maintain a small inventory of coal that is not contracted for supply to customers as stock-in-trade. We have also acquired mines for the purposes of our commercial mining operations in India. See "Our Business - Our Business Verticals - Primary Industry - Commercial Mining" on page 199 for more details. Further, we may explore the possibility of aligning certain commercial coal mines with end-user entities, including our related parties, for their captive consumption, and operate these mines under our mining services operations. While such alignment may improve operational integration and supply security, it may also adversely affect our profitability and limit our ability to generate higher revenues, particularly during periods of rising coal prices, due to the fixed or contracted pricing structures typically associated with mining services arrangements.
Our ability to sell uncontracted coal or coal from our mines when extracted, is and may continue to be affected by price volatility of coal in India and globally. Coal and mineral prices are highly cyclical and subject to significant fluctuations. Decrease in demand for coal may decrease coal prices, which would have an adverse effect on the cost of goods sold which would, in turn, cause a short-term decline in our profitability if we are unable to decrease the price of coal to our customers. Fluctuations in supply and demand for coal affects prices of our uncontracted coal which, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our operating and financial performance.
-
Our mining services and commercial mining business depends on our ability to increase our customer base and our failure to do so may adversely impact our operations.
Our revenue from our mining services business is driven by the number of customer contracts we are servicing in any period. Under mining services business, we have portfolio of 16 service contracts with 10 customers and under commercial mining business, we have a portfolio of eight commercial mines in India and outside India as of the date of this Prospectus, to conduct commercial mining activities. For the six-months period ended September 30, 2025, our mining services business contributed 5.07% of our consolidated total income. For Fiscal 2025, our mining services business contributed 3.77% of our consolidated total income.
Our mining services contracts are generally awarded following a competitive tender process where price is one of the most important factors that a customer will consider in evaluating tenders. Even for those projects that are not put out to tender we still must negotiate the pricing of the contract with the customer. In determining the price and other terms on which we will submit a tender or otherwise propose to a potential customer, we undertake modelling of the contract pricing based on a series of assumptions that we make about a range of factors such as the type and amount of equipment to be deployed, length of contract, life of mine, location of mine, mine cost curve position, the utilization rates, reliability and maintenance costs of such equipment, mining consumables expenditure, the amount of labour required to support the project and labour productivity levels. If any of the assumptions that we made during our modelling subsequently turns out to be materially incorrect, then we could be locked into a long-term contract with unfavourable economics that could adversely affect our margins and results of operations. We may have no right to renegotiate the contract with the customer should the economics become unfavourable to us. Our ability to win new mining services contracts therefore depends on how effectively we are able to compete with competitors and estimate costs for the long-term and set the price. Any failure to compete effectively or appropriately forecast costs while determining the price may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We operate in highly competitive markets and it is difficult to predict whether and when we will be awarded new contracts due to multiple factors influencing how customers evaluate potential service providers, such as rates, qualifications, experience, reputation, technology, customer relationships, financial strength, and ability to provide the relevant services in a timely, safe, and cost-efficient manner. In addition, a project can be cancelled or delayed due to the lengthy and complex bidding and selection process, customer capital investment decisions, market conditions, available financing, government approvals, permissions, and environmental matters. Consequently, we may be subject to the risk of losing new awards to competitors and the risk that a project may experience significant delays or cancellations which may adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As part of our mining services business, we provide contract mining, development and production-related services and other mining services to customers primarily in the coal and iron ore industries. Depending on the terms of our contracts with customers, our services include seeking various approvals, land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement, developing required mining infrastructure, mining, beneficiation (onsite), washing and providing ancillary services, and transportation to designated consumption points. Our ability to successfully provide mining services therefore depends on the timely completion of many of these steps, some of which are beyond our control -such as, delays in getting government approvals for mining, slower offtake plans from the mine owners, and the timely availability of contractors and logistics providers. The delays could be for reasons beyond our control, including resulting from labour strikes, regulatory changes and restrictions, natural calamities or civil unrests and wars, could adversely impact our operations. We rely on certain original equipment manufacturers to source new equipment and related parts to perform our obligations under existing and new contracts. Any change in our relationships with these manufacturers may result in a shortage of equipment and parts which would constrict our ability to enter into new contracts or fulfil existing contracts and adversely impact our operations, earnings and financial performance.
-
Our airport operations and the fees charged for aeronautical services are regulated by the Government of India and the terms of our concession agreements. Accordingly, government regulations and the terms of our concession agreements (including with respect to the determination of tariffs for our aeronautical services) have materially affected, and will continue to materially affect, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
A substantial portion of our revenues from the airports business is earned from aeronautical services, and the aeronautical service fees charged to airlines and passengers for such services, including landing charges, user development fees, baggage x-ray charges and parking and housing fees, are regulated by Airports Economic Regulatory Authority of India ("AERA") in accordance with our concession agreements with Airport Authority of India ("AAI"). AERA determines the rates we charge for aeronautical services through a consultative process involving us and other stakeholders, such as relevant government agencies, airlines and passenger advocacy groups, and we do not have the ability to unilaterally change the aeronautical service fees we charge to airlines or passengers. AERA's rate determinations are based on, among other things, our planned capital expenditure, submissions of forecasts for our operation and maintenance expenses and our revenue from non-aeronautical services and our finance costs, as well as other factors such as public interest and public policy. AERA's rate determinations are for a "control period" of five years and are periodically re-examined. While AERA's determination of rates for aeronautical services is a consultative process, AERA may not agree with our forecasts, and the rates determined by AERA for any control period could be revised downwards. Additionally, we bear the risk of adverse changes in our operation and maintenance expenses, our revenue from non-aeronautical services and our finance costs. Accordingly, if there are unanticipated increases in our operating costs or finance costs, or shortfalls in our non-aeronautical services revenue, AERA may not allow us to make compensatory adjustments in our aeronautical service fees in the next control period. Any adverse change in AERA's determinations of our aeronautical service fees could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. In addition to the regulation of our aeronautical charges, the effective dates of AERA's rate determinations have had, and will continue to have, a material impact on our results of operations.
Our concession to develop, operate and maintain airports is our principal asset and we will be unable to continue our operations if the concession agreements with AAI are terminated. The concession period under the relevant concession agreements is typically for a period of 30 - 50 years, where some of the agreements provide an option for extension. The following events of default, inter alia, if not cured within the time period permitted under the agreement, provide us with the right to terminate the agreement: (i) if AAI commits a material default in complying with any of the provisions of the agreements and such default has a material adverse effect on the concessionaire; and (ii) if AAI repudiates the agreement or otherwise takes any action that amounts to or manifests an irrevocable intention not to be bound by the agreement. The following events or circumstances, inter alia, if not cured within the time period permitted under the agreement, provide AAI the right to terminate the agreement: (a) a breach of our obligations under the agreement that has caused a material adverse effect; (b) any representation or warranty which is, as of the date of the concession agreement, found to be materially false, incorrect or misleading or we are, at any time, found to be in breach thereof; (c) if we have repudiated the agreement or otherwise taken action or evidenced or conveyed an intention not bound by the agreement; (d) our failure to make any payment to AAI within the period specified in the agreement;
(e) creation of any encumbrance in breach of the agreement; and (f) a change in ownership in breach of the provisions
of the agreement. An event of default or termination of the agreement will have a negative impact on our business and operations.
-
Our revenue from our airports business depends on levels of air traffic, which in turn depend in part on factors beyond our control, including economic and political conditions and the regulatory environment.
Our revenue from our airports business is closely linked to passenger and cargo traffic volumes and the number of communications, navigation and surveillance systems for air traffic management ("ATM") at airports. These factors directly determine our revenue from aeronautical services and indirectly determine our revenue from non-aeronautical services. Passenger and cargo traffic volumes and ATMs depend in part on many factors beyond our control, including:
political factors and the regulatory environment;
macroeconomic events (including changes in fuel prices and currency exchange rates), whether or not affecting the Indian economy or the global economy generally;
adverse changes in domestic or international regulation or policy;
increased competition or operations of other airports near our airports, which may make the airports less attractive compared to other airports;
the development of efficient and viable alternatives to air travel, including the improvement or expansion of existing surface transport systems, the introduction of new transport links or technology, and the increased use of communications technology;
consumer response to advocacy against air travel based on environmental concerns;
grounding of aircraft for financial reasons, such as non-payment of aircraft leases by an airline or delay in the delivery of the aircraft, or for other reasons, such as decisions to ground made by regulators worldwide;
shortages of qualified pilots and other critical personnel or strikes by pilots and other aircraft crew or air traffic control personnel;
increase in air fares due to reduction in operations of competing carriers or increases in aviation fuel prices;
decisions by airlines regarding airfares due to increased airline costs, the number, type and capacity of aircraft, as well as the routes on which particular aircraft are utilized;
major airport maintenance programs, including runway repairs, as conducted from time to time;
increase in the number of sectors existing airlines are operating in;
enhanced security measures due to the political tensions between India and other countries;
bad weather and other seasonal factors which can impact flights and passenger demand;
accidents or other security incidents at our airports or other airports in India;
shortages of available parking slot at airports; and
wars, riots, political action, health scares, outbreaks of contagious diseases, disruptions caused by natural disasters, and acts of terrorism or cyber-security threats.
Our revenue from non-aeronautical services is driven by passenger numbers and expenditures by such passengers at our airports. Levels of retail revenue may also be affected by changes in the mix of long- and short-haul, transfer, origin and destination of passengers and also the mix of international and domestic passengers. In addition, retail tenant failures, lower retail yields on lease re-negotiations, redevelopments or reconfiguration of retail facilities, reduced competitiveness of the airport retail offering, reduced hand luggage and other carry-on restrictions and reduced shopping time as a result of more rigorous and time consuming security procedures may lead to a temporary or permanent decline in retail concession fees. Other non-aeronautical services revenue could be reduced as a result of a decrease in demand from airport users or airlines leasing check-in counters. Further, airport terminals are periodically renovated and refurbished, and during such periods, we may experience reduced earnings from non-aeronautical services. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations and financial performance.

Any failure to execute our green hydrogen strategy could have an adverse impact on our operations.
We are in the process of setting up a new energy ecosystem under one of our subsidiaries, namely, Adani New Industries Limited, with an objective to incubate, build and develop an end-to-end integrated ecosystem for production of green hydrogen, which includes manufacturing renewable energy equipment such as wind and solar modules and electrolysers, to the production of renewable energy and green hydrogen itself, and transformation of a part of the green hydrogen produced into derivatives, including green nitrogenous fertilizers, ammonia and urea, both for the domestic market and exports. Currently, we have a solar and wind equipment manufacturing facility at Mundra SEZ where we manufacture ingots, wafers, solar cells, modules and wind turbine materials. Over time, we intend to be fully backward integrated in solar module manufacturing to cover the manufacture of mg silicon, poly silicon, ingots, wafers, cells and the module itself. We have already created and intend to further develop an ecosystem of critical ancillary products for manufacturing modules in-house. We intend to generate low cost hydrogen by making available renewable power at low costs by setting up large scale hybrid wind and solar renewable power plants in western Gujarat and Rajasthan. We also intend to develop the electrolyser in-house based on latest technologies. For more details, see "Our Business - Competitive Strengths - Tapping on the growing green hydrogen potential in India to build a fully-integrated new energy ecosystem in India" on page 167. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete, or achieve our targets in time or at all, all of which could adversely impact on our operational results and financial condition.
The implementation of our green hydrogen strategy has not been appraised by any bank, financial institution or independent agency, and are based on management estimates and internal management information systems and our business plan. We may also have to revise our funding estimates, future projects and the estimated commencement and completion dates of our projects depending on future contingencies and events, including, among others: changes in laws and regulations; competition; receipt of statutory and regulatory approvals and permits; the ability of third parties to complete their services on schedule and on budget; delays, cost overruns or modifications to our future projects; commencement of new projects and new initiatives; and changes in our business plans due to prevailing economic conditions. Accordingly, the schedule of the implementation of our green hydrogen strategy, is subject to risk of unanticipated delays in implementation and cost overruns and we may not be able to achieve our targets.
Our new energy ecosystem depends on the continuing demand for green hydrogen. The green hydrogen generation industry is still relatively nascent, and we cannot be sure that potential customers will accept green hydrogen products. Through the new energy ecosystem, we are taking steps to reduce the cost of renewable power by manufacturing our own wind and solar modules and intend to set up our own hydrogen electrolyser manufacturing facility, there is no assurance that we will be able to reduce green hydrogen production costs substantially, and that there will be a demand for our green hydrogen or downstream products. Because this is an emerging industry, broad acceptance of our products and service is subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. If the market develops more slowly than we anticipate, our business will be harmed, which may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and operations, and we may not be able to achieve our targets and any funds raised for this purpose may not have the intended results.
Our operations are directly related to our ability to execute our strategies which depends on the availability of capital to build the ecosystem in-house and our ability to deploy the technology efficiently, and achieve our targets. Except for the manufacture of solar cells, modules and wind turbines, we are in the process of designing, developing or testing other components of the new energy ecosystem. Developing such new product platforms or ecosystems requires significant investments and capital expenditures. To maintain a successful green hydrogen business, we need to quickly and consistently design, develop and update our infrastructure and equipment to keep pace with technological developments and changing customer standards and meet the growing demands of our customers. Our inability to either invest sufficiently or raise sufficient funds to develop our ecosystem in line with our strategies or targets could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation, and we may not be able to achieve our targets.
The performance of our ecosystem in the medium and long-term may be subject to certain defects or damage, including resulting from faulty design, manufacturing, workmanship and incorporation of faulty materials or components which could result in the operational failure. Any failure to deploy our ecosystem and produce green hydrogen at targeted costs and specified performance levels could damage our reputation and impair the marketability or lifespan of our new energy ecosystem. This in turn may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we may not be able to achieve our targets.
While we intend to be fully backward integrated in the manufacture of solar modules, any failure to do so would require us to depend on third parties, which may result in an increase in the cost of production of green hydrogen. For our wind turbines, we intend to continue to source components from third parties. To the extent that we depend on external suppliers for these parts, this subjects us to risks such as currency fluctuations, import/export issues, climatic and environmental conditions, production and transportation costs, changes in domestic as well as international government policies, regulatory or trade sanctions, or our manufacturers experiencing temporary or permanent
disruptions in their manufacturing operations, labour strikes or shortages, natural disasters, public health disasters, component or material shortages, cost increases, insolvency, changes in legal or regulatory requirements, or other similar problems. Given all these possible risks, we could in the future experience product shortages or delays, and the availability of these products may be difficult to predict. In the event of a shortage or supply interruption from manufacturers or suppliers of these components, we may not be able to develop alternate sources swiftly and cost-effectively, or at all.

Technical failures of our solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment could cause delays and adversely impact our operations.
Currently, for our solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment, we provide various product warranties under our contracts with customers, under which we typically establish minimum purchase obligations and, as a result, may be required to settle claims with our customers based on our contractual arrangements with them. We undertake various testing processes on solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment in different operating conditions to acquire data for making decisions for serial production of new modules, and the solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment used in the course of such tests may be damaged or become unfit to be used. In accordance with our agreement with our customers, any loss incurred for such tests is borne by us. In the event the solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment are found to not comply with the technical specifications, we could be required to take immediate steps to rectify such defects at our own cost and expenses. In addition, we provide our customers other information relating to solar cells and modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment. There can be no related equipment assurance that the solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment will operate without any technical issues in actual conditions, despite being fully certified and tested extensively under laboratory conditions. Under these agreements with our customers for solar modules and cells and wind turbines related equipment, we are required to indemnify our customers and the owners of the projects where the products are delivered / installed from and against any cost, expense or liability on account of any claim against our customers arising out of or relating to, inter alia, (a) failure of the products furnished by us to confirm to the requirements of the purchase orders or terms of the contracts, (b) breach of any other undertaking by us, and (c) infringement of any patent right by us. Our customers generally sell the power that is produced by their renewable power plants to third parties including state-owned utilities. The tariffs for such off-take arrangements are determined through bidding auctions conducted by central and state governments in India, which can change from time to time depending on various factors. This is a primary determinant of the level of investment in renewable power generation infrastructure. Furthermore, any uncertainty in the structure of, or amount of, tariffs, could delay investment in solar and wind modules and cells. Further, our margins and sales price depend on eventual tariffs at which our customers can sell power to third parties including state-owned utilities. If the tariffs are not stable and reasonable, it may reduce our margins and may also reduce market size which in turn will adversely affect our business and operations.

"During the quarter ended March 31 2023, a short seller's report ("SSR") was published making certain allegations against some of the Adani Group Companies (including the Company). In this regard, certain writ petitions were filed with the Hon'ble Supreme Court ("SC") seeking independent investigation of the allegations in SSR. During the proceedings, SC observed that the Securities and Exchange Board of India ("SEBI") was investigating the matter. The SC also constituted an Expert Committee to investigate as well as suggest measures to strengthen existing laws and regulations and also directed the SEBI to consider certain additional aspects in its scope. The Expert Committee submitted its report dated 6th May 2023, finding no regulatory failure in respect of applicable laws and regulations. The SEBI also concluded its investigations in twenty-two of the twenty-four matters as per the status report dated 25th August 2023 to the SC.
On 3rd January 2024, the SC disposed off all matters in various petitions including those relating to separate independent investigations relating to the allegations in the SSR. Further, the SC directed SEBI to complete the pending two investigations, preferably within three months, and take its investigations (including 22 already completed) to their logical conclusion in accordance with law. During the quarter ended March 31 2024, the Company has received two show cause notices (SCNs) from the SEBI alleging non-compliance of provisions of the Listing Agreement and LODR Regulations pertaining to related party transactions in respect of certain transactions with third parties and validity of peer review certificates of statutory auditor with respect to earlier years. The management believes that there is no material consequential effect of above SCNs to relevant financial statements and no material non-compliance of applicable laws and regulations.
Earlier in April 2023, the Company had undertaken review of transactions referred in SSR through an independent assessment by a law firm, which confirmed that (a) none of the alleged related parties mentioned in the SSR were related parties to the Company or its subsidiaries, under applicable frameworks: and (b) the Company is in compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations.
Based on above independent assessment, the SC order and the fact that there are no pending regulatory or adjudicatory proceedings as of date, except as mentioned above, the management concludes that that there is no material non-compliance of applicable laws and regulations and accordingly, these financial statements do not carry any adjustments in this regard."

We require certain approvals, licenses and permissions to conduct our business. Our inability to obtain such approvals, licenses or permissions, and any non-compliance with the conditions specified under our existing approvals, licenses or permissions, may adversely affect our operations.
Our business is subject to various regulatory licenses and approvals which are required to be obtained from the concerned regulatory and statutory authorities, including but not limited to, the SEBI, RBI, Competition Commission of India ("CCI"), CDSL, NSDL, Ministry of Civil Aviation ("MoCA"), AERA, AAI, DGCA, National Highways Authority of India ("NHAI"), Ministry of Coal ("MoC"), MeitY and the Stock Exchanges.
While we have currently obtained the necessary licenses, approvals and registrations for our business, some of these licenses, approvals and registrations are conditional and can be terminated by the concerned authority at their discretion
and for any reason. Moreover, some of these approvals, licenses and registrations may lapse in the ordinary course of business and we or third parties, as applicable, have to make applications for renewal as and when practicable and in accordance with applicable law, while certain other registrations are valid until they are suspended or cancelled by the regulator but are subject to payment of registration fee periodically. We have no control over such third parties and cannot assure you that applications for such approvals have been made by such third parties in a timely manner or at all.
We have entered into various contractual arrangements with self-regulatory authorities which have been delegated with administrative powers by the Government of India through enacted legislations. We cannot assure you that we will continue to have these contractual arrangements with administrative authorities, which may be critical for our operations. Any disciplinary action by such authorities which results in the termination or suspension of our license, permission, approval, registration or agreements with them could adversely impact our results of operation, financial performance, reputation and cash flows.

We intend to expand our data center business and any failure to do so could impact our operations.
We have also forayed in the data center business. Adani ConneX, our joint venture with EdgeConneX, a global data center firm in the United States with more than a decade of experience in serving global technology giants, is engaged in building a reliable data center network, to service this growing sector. Our first data center in Chennai in Tamil Nadu was commissioned in October 2022 and has a capacity of 17 MW. Subsequently, our data centers set up at Hyderabad in Telangana and Noida in Uttar Pradesh with a capacity of 9.6 MW and 10 MW were commissioned in Fiscal 2025. We propose to develop additional comprehensive data center network at different locations such as Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra, Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Pune in Maharashtra. We cannot assure that our proposal to further expand our data center business to other geographical areas in India will be successful. We face stringent competition with other players in the market who already have a strong foothold in the sector. To reduce the unplanned downtime of data centers proper planning, analysis and implementation of power back up is necessary. The unplanned downtimes affect the reliability of a data center. Any failure to expand our data center business, meet our targets or provide the required infrastructure to successfully operate data centers, could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows in the foreseeable future. Data centers typically store sensitive and confidential data of customers, and any data leaks or data thefts could cause significant reputational harm to us and result in customers withdrawing their services from us. All of this could impact our operations, financial condition and results of operations. For more details, see "- Our data center business is subject to evolving laws regarding privacy, data protection and other related matters. Many of these laws are subject to change and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, which may harm our business." on page 40.

We depend on the government based competitive bidding process for our infrastructure assets. Our inability to effectively bid for projects could impact our operations and financial condition.
For many of our businesses, such as water, airports, roads, mining services and commercial mining businesses, we bid for projects on an ongoing basis and infrastructure projects are typically awarded following a competitive bidding process and satisfaction of prescribed qualification criteria. There can be no assurance that we would be able to meet such criteria, whether independently or together with other third parties. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would bid where we have been qualified to submit a bid or that our bids, when submitted or if already submitted, would be accepted. We spend considerable time and resources in the preparation and submission of bids. Government conducted tender processes may be subject to change in qualification criteria, unexpected delays and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that the projects for which we bid will be tendered within a reasonable time, or at all. If new projects which have been announced and which we plan to bid for are not put up for tender within the announced timeframe, or qualification criteria are modified such that we are unable to qualify, our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected. Our future results of operations and cash flows may fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing of our contract. In the event we are unable to obtain new contracts, our business will be materially and adversely affected.
- We face a variety of risks in connection with our reliance on concessions and other contracts where the counterparties are central and state government companies.
As counterparties to our contracts for infrastructure assets are generally central and state government companies, our contracts with them are usually based on forms chosen by the government entities. As a result, we have limited ability to negotiate the terms of these contracts. Central and state government companies that are counterparties to our contracts may become unwilling to fulfil their contractual obligations or terminate our agreements prior to their expiration. It may be difficult to bring actions against customers that are, or are controlled by, government entities. In addition, our customers may be subject to legislative or other political actions that may impair their contractual performance. If such events occur, our assets, liabilities, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations
