According to the exchange filing dated March 2, 2026, Kutch Copper Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd, has transferred its 50,000 equity shares representing a 50% stake in Praneetha Ecocables Limited (PEL).

The stake was sold for a consideration of ₹5 lakh, with the transaction completed on March 2, 2026.

The buyer is Praneetha Ventures Private Limited (PVPL). Post-transaction, PVPL now holds 100% ownership of PEL, resulting in PEL ceasing to be a joint venture of KCL.

Adani Enterprises Share Price Reaction

Shares of Adani Enterprises Ltd (NSE: ADANIENT) were trading lower during the session on 4 March.

As of 12:34 p.m. IST on March 4, 2026, the stock was priced at ₹2,065.10, down ₹59.50 or 2.80% from the previous close of ₹2,124.60.

Session data so far:

• Open: ₹2,104.60
• High: ₹2,104.60
• Low: ₹2,037.50

The company’s market capitalisation stood near ₹2.62 lakh crore, according to exchange data.

No explicit linkage between the share movement and the divestment was stated in the regulatory filing.

Counterparty Details And Transaction Structure

The acquirer, Praneetha Ventures Private Limited, does not belong to the promoter or promoter group of Adani Enterprises, the company clarified in the filing.

However, the disclosure identifies PVPL as a related party of Kutch Copper Limited. The company stated that the sale was executed on an arm’s length basis.

The filing further states that the transaction does not fall under a scheme of arrangement and no slump sale provisions apply, in line with the disclosure framework under Schedule III of the SEBI Listing Regulations.

Adani also indicated that both PVPL and PEL operate within the broader vendor or ecosystem network linked to certain Adani group businesses, citing examples such as vendor ecosystems associated with Adani New Industries Limited.

Company Background

Adani Enterprises Ltd functions as the incubation platform for new infrastructure and energy businesses within the Adani Group. Its portfolio spans sectors including green hydrogen, airports, data centres, mining services, roads, and integrated resource management.

Kutch Copper Limited, the subsidiary involved in the transaction, is part of the group’s strategy to build large-scale copper smelting and refining capacity in India, a project intended to support domestic demand for energy transition and industrial metals.

The divested entity, Praneetha Ecocables Limited, had minimal financial activity as per the latest disclosed figures.

Conclusion

The divestment marks a complete exit by Kutch Copper Limited from Praneetha Ecocables Limited, closing a previously shared ownership structure and transferring full control to Praneetha Ventures Private Limited.

Financially, the transaction is modest in size, with a total consideration of ₹5 lakh and no reported revenue or net worth attached to the divested entity as of FY25. The disclosure therefore appears primarily structurally simplifying ownership within the broader business ecosystem rather than signalling a material portfolio shift.
