Last month, it infused Rs 6,661 crore into the cement company raising their stake in the company by 3.6 to 66.7 per cent.
Billionaire Gautam Adani’s group will acquire the remaining 51per cent stake in Quintillion Business Media Pvt Ltd, the firm that runs business and financial news digital media platform BQ Prime.

Adani Enterprises Ltd, the ports-to-energy conglomerate’s flagship firm, in a stock exchange filing, said the board of its subsidiary AMG Media Networks Ltd “has approved to enter into a binding memorandum of undertaking (MoU) with Quintillion Media Ltd for the acquisition of remaining 51% stake” in the firm.

Later in May 2022, AMG Media Networks entered into a shareholders’ agreement with Quintillion Media Ltd for the acquisition of QBML.
In December last year, Adani also acquired about 65 per cent stake in broadcaster NDTV.
