Adani Group has completed the acquisition of the remaining stake in Indo-Asian News Service (IANS), consolidating its presence in the media space. The transaction was executed through AMG Media Networks Limited (AMNL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises.
As per a regulatory filing, AMNL acquired 24% of IANS’s voting shares along with 0.74% of its non-voting shares, finalising a deal that was initiated through a share purchase agreement signed on January 22, 2026. With this acquisition, IANS now becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of AMG Media Networks and, indirectly, part of Adani Enterprises, the flagship entity of the Adani Group.
The deal is valued at approximately ₹47 million and was completed via a cash transaction. The company clarified that the acquisition was conducted on an arm’s length basis, ensuring that the terms adhered to standard commercial practices.
This move marks a strategic step in Adani Group’s expanding media portfolio, strengthening its foothold in the news and information services segment. By fully integrating IANS into its media network, the group is expected to enhance content distribution capabilities and deepen its influence across digital and traditional news ecosystems.
The acquisition reflects Adani’s continued focus on building a robust, vertically integrated media presence, aligning with its broader diversification strategy beyond infrastructure and energy.
