Morgan Stanley has initiated coverage on Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. with an 'overweight' rating and a target price of Rs 1,133, citing the company's play on India's energy future and a strong positioning, thanks to its multiple growth drivers that make the long-term outlook quite favourable.

Another key area of growth for Adani Energy Solutions is smart meters, a segment that has proven to be lucrative in recent years.
