Adani Energy is the second-largest transmission player in the country in bids. It is also a leading player in smart meter bids. Note that both the segments are seeing favorable tailwinds. As a result, we estimate Ebitda is set to rise from Rs 69 billion in FY25 to Rs 124 billion in FY27E. The strong increase is on the back of ~Rs 30 billion+ from new transmission project commissioning; ~Rs 20 billion+ from smart meter; and ~Rs 5 billion+ from distribution areas.
