In just nine months, GQG Partners nearly doubled its investments in Adani shares, earning substantial profits.
As of December 6, GQG's portfolio value in Adani Group firms reached Rs 39,331 crore, indicating an impressive 82% total return on its initial investment of Rs 21,660 crore made in three instalments starting from March 2023.
