Adani Enterprises has made headlines with its impressive financial results for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending March 30, 2025. In a remarkable turn of events, the flagship company of the Adani Group reported a staggering 756% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit, reaching ₹3,845 crore.
