Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL) on Friday closed its qualified institutional placement (QIP) after upsizing the issue to ₹15,000 crore from the initially planned ₹10,000 crore, following robust investor demand of around ₹38,000 crore, or 3.8 times the base issue size.The flagship Adani Group company’s QIP, which opened on July 2, was priced at ₹2,883 per equity share, a 5 per cent discount to the SEBI-prescribed floor price of ₹3,034.68 and about 9.3 per cent lower than the July 2 closing price of ₹3,177.50.
