Adani Group ITD Cementation Acquisition: A Bold Strategic Move
The Adani Group ITD Cementation acquisition is reportedly in the lead to secure a 46.64% stake in ITD Cementation India, valued at approximately ₹5,888.57 crore ($700 million). This strategic move aims to enhance Adani’s civil engineering capabilities as part of its broader strategy to expand its diverse portfolio, which includes airports, highways, ports, and real estate projects.
A formal announcement regarding this acquisition is expected soon, following an agreement reached earlier this week. The stake, currently held by Italian-Thai Development Public Co, is part of an ongoing divestment process, and if successful, it will trigger an open offer for an additional 26% stake in ITD Cementation.
ITD Cementation, an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm with historical ties to the UK, specializes in maritime structures and urban infrastructure, including notable projects such as the Delhi and Kolkata metro systems. The company’s robust order book, with a significant portion from government contracts, positions it as a strategic acquisition for Adani, especially given its existing collaborations in hydel power and marine projects.
Analysts speculate that the rising stock price—over 114% in the past year—may have prompted the promoter’s decision to sell, leveraging favorable market conditions. If finalized, the Adani Group ITD Cementation acquisition will be Adani’s 11th acquisition this year, further strengthening its ambitious growth strategy in the infrastructure sector.
With its strong presence across 13 states and projects in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, ITD Cementation is well-equipped to support the Adani Group’s ambitions in the EPC landscape. The company has expressed confidence that the change in ownership will not disrupt its operations, ensuring continuity as it pursues new projects, including hydro and solar initiatives.
As the Adani Group continues to solidify its position in the infrastructure sector, this Adani Group ITD Cementation acquisition is poised to further enhance its capabilities and market reach, driving future growth in the evolving landscape of engineering and construction.
