The Adani Group is set to divest from its FMCG arm, Adani Wilmar, by offloading up to 20 percent of its stake in a move to narrow its focus on infrastructure investments. The decision aligns with the conglomerate's strategy to eliminate non-core business activities.

In a significant development, the group announced plans to execute this sale through the open market, having already offloaded a substantial portion of its stake to a joint venture partner. The stakes will be sold at a stipulated minimum of Rs 275 per share, with final transactions expected to conclude by March 2025.

This strategic exit is poised to fetch the Adani Group in excess of USD 2 billion, aiding its core infrastructure pursuits and fulfilling regulatory obligations set by Sebi. The transaction follows the company's legal challenges, including recent federal allegations of fraud which the group denies.
