Adani Group Plans $1 Billion Acquisition for 3 FMCG Companies
Adani Group is preparing a $1 billion war chest to expand its footprint in the FMCG sector. The group’s FMCG business is in discussions to acquire three brands in the spices, ready-to-cook foods, and packaged edibles categories across South and East India.
Key Points:
- Adani Group aims to derive 25-30% of its revenue from consumer-facing businesses.
- The group operates its FMCG brand, Adani Wilmar, as a 50:50 joint venture with Singapore’s Wilmar International. The brand provides edible oil, wheat, flour, rice, pulses, and sugar to nearly 113 million households.
- In FY24, Adani Wilmar reported revenue of ₹49,243 crore (down 10.8% YoY), with a market capitalization of ₹48,842 crore.
This acquisition plan is expected to significantly bolster Adani Group’s FMCG business, strengthening its position in the consumer products sector.
