No of employees: As per the records they have more than 10,000 employees working in various sister companies in Indian and abroad.

Competitive advantage: They have purchased many major ports in India. It gave them competitive advantage over their competitors because they are able to unload cargo at faster speed. Also the lay time is low for them. Due to ownership of ports they are also able to quote less price for any government or private tenders for import coal. So they easily able to grab many tenders.

Company’s goal: Adani has set a target of 10000 MW of solar power plants and at least 10000 MW of solar parks by 2020. Besides they target to extract 200 MMT per annum by 2020, making Adani one of the largest mining groups in the world.

Problem statement: The problem at adani is related to finances.

Background of the problem: Adani has invested $3.5 billion in its autralis project. The whole investment is backed by debt funded. Also it relies on Australia $1 billion subsidy. The Abbot Point Coal Terminal is due for a $1.5 billion debt refinancing next year and a cumulative debt refinancing of $2.11 billion by 2020. These whole investment can become a stranded asset if they didn’t get that Australian subsidy. China, which was supposed to fund Adani Australian project also ruled out for the funding of mine.

Also in india their major businesses is backed by huge loans. They have more tha 49,000 crores loan in India. Their major profit making business is almost shutdown as government of India stopped buying imported coals. So, it can be said that Adani is at the verge of financial crisis.
