Recasts with company forecast

May 1 (Reuters) - India's Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone APSE.NS issued a higher year-on-year revenue growth forecast for fiscal 2026 on Thursday, citing strong port volumes, after posting a better-than-expected quarterly profit.

The country's top private port operator said it expects revenue to grow in the range of 15.8%-22.2% for the fiscal year that started on April 1. Its revenue grew 16% last fiscal.

For fiscal 2025, the firm's revenue from its ports business, its biggest, climbed 12%, while its logistics business jumped 39%, led by higher container and bulk cargo volumes, the company said.

It added that it expects revenue from its third-biggest marine services division, which surged 82% to 11.44 billion rupees in fiscal 2025, to treble in two years.

Private port operators including Adani Ports and smaller rival JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS have benefited from steady cargo movement across Indian borders, especially during the fourth quarter, which typically sees increased construction activity due to favorable weather.

However, U.S. President Trump's erratic tariff policies have threatened to disrupt trade and pile additional risks on India's slowing economy.

On Wednesday, JSW Infrastructure reported a higher quarterly profit and shrugged off concerns over U.S. tariff-led trade uncertainties.

Adani Ports reported a consolidated net profit of 30.14 billion rupees ($356 million) for the quarter ended March 31, beating analysts' average estimate of 25.71 billion rupees, as per data compiled by LSEG.

Cargo volumes rose 8% to 118 million metric tonnes in the reported quarter, driving overall revenue nearly 24% higher to 84.88 billion rupees.

The company also forecast its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the range of 210 billion-220 billion rupees for fiscal 2026.

Rewrites throughout with share moves, details and company forecast

Jan 30 (Reuters) - India's Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone APSE.NS missed third-quarter profit estimates on Thursday, as growth in cargo volumes slackened amid a slowdown in the world's fifth-largest economy, sending its shares 6% lower in the afternoon trade.

Consolidated net profit for the country's top private port operator jumped 14% to 25.20 billion rupees ($291.1 million) for the October-December period, but fell short of analysts' average estimate of 26.08 billion rupees, as per data compiled by LSEG.

Adani Ports' stock was among the top losers on the benchmark Nifty 50 index .NSEI.

Adani Ports kept intact its fiscal 2025 cargo volumes forecast in the range of 460 million metric tons to 480 million tons, after logging a 4% volume growth to 113 million tons in the reported quarter.

India's slowing economic growth has curbed cargo volumes at port operators including Adani Ports and smaller rival JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS, analysts at ElaraCapital said in a note earlier this month.

Adani Ports also said it now expects fiscal 2025 core profit to be in a range of 188 billion rupees to 189 billion rupees, up from its earlier forecast of 170 billion rupees to 180 billion rupees.

Jan 21 (Reuters) - Billionaire Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group said on Tuesday that it will invest 3 trillion rupees ($34.67 billion) in the Indian state of Maharashtra to expand the conglomerate's presence in electric vehicles, batteries, steel, and green energy sectors.

The ports-to-cement JSW conglomerate and the government of the western Indian state of Maharashtra - home to the country's financial hub of Mumbai - signed an agreement on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, in Davos, Switzerland.

The investment will fund facilities for electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery production, steel manufacturing expansion, and renewable energy projects, including solar modules.

State chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, in a post on social media platform X, said that the investment would create 10,000 jobs and provide a "huge boost to Maharashtra's industrial environment."

The Maharashtra government will offer fiscal incentives and expedite clearances for the group's projects as part of the agreement, JSW said.

Updates with details of the deal, context throughout

BENGALURU, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone APSE.NS said on Friday it will buy a majority stake in an offshore support vessel operator for $185 million, expanding its fleet and diversifying beyond port operations.

Astro Offshore, in which Adani Ports will buy an 80% stake, owns a fleet of 26 vessels including barges and workboats, counting miner NMDC NMDC.NS and construction bellwether Larsen and Toubro LART.NS as its customers.

"Astro will add... to our current fleet of 142 tugs and dredgers... (and) the acquisition will also give us access to an impressive roster of tier-1 customers," Adani Ports CEO Ashwani Gupta said in a statement.

The deal comes as India's largest private port operator aims to grow its presence beyond its mainstay port operations to maintain its sector lead against smaller rivals JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS and Gujarat Pipavav GPPL.NS.

The acquisition is expected to close within a month with no requirement of regulatory approvals, Adani Ports added.

Adds details and background throughout

BENGALURU, Aug 1 (Reuters) - India's Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone APSE.NS reported a 47% jump in quarterly profit on Thursday, as strong commercial activity in the world's fifth-largest economy lifted cargo volumes.

Shares of the Adani Group company were up 1.2% after the results, while the broader benchmark Nifty 50 .NSEI gained 0.2%.

India's largest private port operator by volumes, Adani Ports said its consolidated net profit rose to 31.13 billion rupees (nearly $372 million) in its fiscal first quarter ended June, from 21.15 billion rupees a year earlier.

Revenue increased by more than 11% to 69.56 billion rupees. This excludes the 6.03 billion rupees received from the divestment of the Ennore terminal in Tamil Nadu state.

Port operators have benefited from sustained cargo movement in and out of India, supported by healthy domestic demand and sturdy commercial activity in Asia's third-largest economy .

Cargo volumes handled by Adani Ports rose 7.5% in the June quarter to 109 million metric tons (MMT), despite a loss of 6 million metric tons (MMT) in April and May due to the shutdown of its Gangavaram port in Andhra Pradesh state.

Adani Ports had declared a force majeure at its Gangavaram port in April after agitation by certain section of employees disrupted cargo handling and other associated cargo operations.

The company, which is a part of billionaire Gautam Adani's ports-to-power conglomerate, operates 13 ports and terminals in India, including the country's largest container handling port in Mundra in the western state of Gujarat.

The Mundra port handled 17.6 MMT cargo in May, a record monthly volume for any Indian port.

Last month, smaller rival JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS posted a lower quarterly profit due to higher expenses.

Corrects typo to say "jumps" in headline

BENGALURU, April 12 (Reuters) - Bharti Hexacom's shares BHAX.NS surged 32.5% in their trading debut on Friday, valuing the Indian telecom operator at 377.50 billion rupees ($4.53 billion).

The stock opened at 755 rupees, compared with its initial public offering price of 570 rupees. Analysts had expected the stock to list at a premium of 10% to 15%.

The benchmark index Nifty 50 .NSEI was down 0.4%, while shares of Bharti Airtel BRTI.NS, India's No.2 telecom operator by subscribers, were down 0.6%.

The billionaire Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel owns 70% of Bharti Hexacom, which is the latest unit of a conglomerate to cash into investor appetite for public offerings as the stocks market hits record highs.

The Tata Group's Tata Technologies TATE.NS and JSW Group's JSW Infrastructure JSWN.NS had strong debuts late last year.

So far this year, 64 Indian companies have gone public, raising $2.31 billion cumulatively, compared with 42 companies raising $170.6 million in the same period last year, according to LSEG data.

Bankers expect the momentum to persist amid rapid economic growth and expectations of political stability.

While Bharti Airtel operates across India, Bharti Hexacom offers mobile, broadband and fixed-line telephone services under the "Airtel" brand in the northwestern state of Rajasthan and some parts of northeastern India.

The 42.75-billion rupee IPO was oversubscribed 29.88 times last week. Government-owned Telecommunications Consultants India sold half of its 30% stake in Bharti Hexacom in the IPO. The company itself did not issue fresh shares.
