Adani Group takes complete hold of IANS news agency
New Delhi: Adani Group, chaired by billionaire Gautam Adani, has completely taken hold of news agency IANS after purchasing the remaining 24 per cent stake, according to a stock exchange disclosure made on Friday. Though the financial terms were not revealed, it is known that the transaction was carried out through AMG Media Networks Limited, the media wing of Adani Enterprises.
Following the transaction, IANS India Private Limited has become a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of Adani Enterprises. The company said, “AMNL has executed a Share Purchase Agreement on January 21, 2026, to acquire the balance stake in IANS. Upon completion of the transaction, IANS shall become a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of the company.”
The Adani Group first entered with a majority stake of IANS in December 2023 with the acquisition of a 50.5 per cent stake. This was followed by a further increase in ownership in January 2024, when AMG Media Networks raised its holding to 76 per cent of the voting shares and nearly all of the non-voting shares. The latest transaction concludes the takeover through the purchase of the remaining shares.
Before this acquisition, AMG Media Networks held 76 per cent of Category I shares carrying voting rights and more than 99 per cent of Category II shares without voting rights. The company said the current deal covers the remaining 24 per cent of Category I shares and 0.74 per cent of Category II shares.
