Shares of Adani Energy Solutions crashed 20% to hit their lower circuit at Rs 697.70 on the BSE today after the company announced that it has entered into an agreement with PFC Consulting for the acquisition of a 100% stake in Pune-III Transmission (PTL).

The acquisition is part of Adani Energy's strategy to enhance value for its shareholders through both organic and inorganic opportunities.

PTL aims to implement the evacuation of 7 GW of renewable energy (RE) from Khavda RE Park, under Phase IV Part D package.
