Global ratings agency Standard and Poor's (S&P) today revised up the outlook on Adani Ports to 'stable' from 'negative' on expectation of better operating performance and limiting related-party lending.

With a year-to-date gain of nearly 33 per cent, Adani Ports' stock has convincingly entered the list of large-cap winners in 2017. Many factors have led to this rally, the most significant one being the closure of inter-corporate loans and advances.

The announcement on April 4 showed this had been done. Analysts view this development very positively, as a demonstration of the management's commitment. Group stocks such as Adani Enterprise, Adani Power and Adani Transmission also recently touched their 52-week highs, as a ripple effect of closure on inter-corporate borrowings.
