Gautam Adani’s power transmission unit is considering raising at least 50 billion rupees ($597 million) through a share sale, marking the Indian conglomerate’s first foray into public equity markets since a short-seller’s report wiped away billions in shareholder value.

Adani Energy Solutions Ltd. is looking to raise funds through a so-called qualified institutional placement, or QIP, and plans to conclude the share sale by mid-August, people familiar with the matter said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
