SEC dismisses Hindenburg's accusations against the Adani conglomerate
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has concluded its investigation into the Adani group companies, dismissing allegations of stock manipulation made by U.S. short-seller Hindenburg Research. The investigation, which began in 2023, was initiated following accusations that the Adani group companies used tax havens and failed to disclose transactions between related parties. The investigation focused on Adani Ports, Adani Power, and Adani Enterprises. SEBI's decision suggests that the transactions between Adani group companies do not violate regulatory norms on disclosures or constitute market manipulation. The sell-off of the Adani group's stock, which occurred in response to the allegations, led to a $150-billion loss. However, despite the sell-off, the shares have since recovered. The Adani group has previously denied wrongdoing in response to the allegations. In August 2023, SEBI discontinued the investigation against the Adani Group companies. The group has not offered an immediate comment on SEBI's decision. The accusations by Hindenburg Research were not the first time the Adani group has faced scrutiny. In the past, the group has been criticised for its business practices and environmental impact. However, the group has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The investigation by SEBI is not the only one the Adani group has faced. In addition to the investigation by SEBI, SEBI has issued two separate orders regarding the investigation into the Adani group. The investigation continues to focus on the Adani group's companies. The dismissal of the allegations by SEBI is a significant development for the Adani group, which has faced intense scrutiny in recent months. The recovery of the Adani group's shares after the sell-off is a positive sign for the group and its investors. In conclusion, SEBI has dismissed allegations of stock manipulation against billionaire Gautam Adani and his group of companies. The investigation by SEBI focused on Adani Ports, Adani Power, and Adani Enterprises and concluded that the transactions between Adani group companies do not violate regulatory norms on disclosures or constitute market manipulation. Despite the sell-off, the shares have since recovered, and the Adani group has not offered an immediate comment on SEBI's decision.
