In a rough patch

Adani Group stocks suffered massive losses on Thursday, November 21, after the US indicted the group’s Chairman Gautam Adani and some other top executives over their role in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme.

As Mint reported earlier, the US securities regulator claimed that Adani Green raised more than $175 million from US investors, and Azure Power’s stock was traded on the NYSE. The scheme allegedly enabled the two renewable energy companies to capitalise on a multi-billion-dollar solar energy project opportunity.

Shares of Adani Enterprises crashed 23 per cent on Thursday. However, it saw mid gains of 2 per cent and 1 per cent in the following two sessions.
