Adani Group has completed as many as 33 acquisitions worth about Rs 80,000 crore (USD 9.6 billion) across its businesses since January 2023, signalling sustained access to capital and steady execution following the short-seller allegations that jolted markets nearly three years ago. The buying spree has been concentrated in the conglomerate's core sectors, according to market data and company sources.
