India’s infrastructure tycoon Gautam Adani has stepped down from his executive position at his group’s most valuable company, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, no longer serving as a key managerial figure.

He has transitioned to the role of non-executive chairman, with his older son Karan Adani (38) already managing the port operations. 

Following the development on August 5, Gautam (63) is now the non-executive chairman of seven group companies including Ambuja Cements, Adani Green Energy, Adani Green Solutions, Adani Power, Adani Total Gas, and Adani Infra (India). 

He remains the executive chairman of only one company, Adani Enterprises, known as the incubator of new businesses such as airports, data centres and copper metals.
