Adani news

The rally came just a day after SEBI concluded its investigation, stating that it found no evidence to support the accusations raised by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research in early 2023. Those allegations had erased nearly USD 150 billion in market value across Adani Group stocks at their peak, sparking a global debate on governance, transparency, and political influence. Therefore, the clean chit is seen as a watershed moment for the conglomerate and a significant relief for investors waiting for regulatory clarity before taking fresh positions.

Adani Group companies dominated the top gainers list on the exchanges, and the trading volumes in these counters reflected heightened investor activity. The surge was particularly notable in energy-related stocks, but the impact was broad-based across the group, from its flagship incubator company to its media arm.
