Experts say Adani's indictment in the US for bribery and fraud is bound to make risk managers at big banks 'nervous' while increasing scrutiny on Indian renewable energy projects
Latest allegations come at a time when Adani Enterprises is looking to launch a $1 billion share sale by mid-September
India's market regulator began probing the Adani conglomerate after Hindenburg Research in 2023 alleged improper use of tax havens and stock manipulation by the group
Located north of the present conflict zone, Haifa is one of Israel's biggest and most vital ports
Trying to prove who had invested in foreign portfolio investors who then pumped money into Adani could be an arduous task, a court-appointed panel said
"(An) analysis would have to be conducted on the documents received from various sources before conclusive findings can be arrived at," the regulator said
The probe comes after a report by US short-seller Hindenburg alleged entities linked to Gautam Adani's brother Vinod had moved "billions of dollars" into the conglomerate
The group's flagship firm, Adani Enterprises, slid nearly 7% to a near four-week low, while Adani Ports tumbled more than 5%
Lenders will release 31 million pledged shares of Adani Enterprises, and 155 million shares of Adani Ports, the group said in a statement on Tuesday.
The development comes as the embattled conglomerate seeks to ease investor concerns about its credit profile; Adani Enterprise shares have surged 30% over the past two days
The conglomerate’s market value has dropped below the $100 billion mark in the ongoing sell-off triggered by the Hindenburg report
Regulators are said to be probing the sharp sell-off in Adani Group companies, while also looking into trade patterns and any potential irregularities in its now-shelved share sale
