Adani Enterprises Ltd has
shelved a plan to raise as much as $121.65 million (10 billion Indian rupees), Bloomberg News reported.
The flagship firm of Indian billionaire Gautam Adani’s
empire had planned the public note issuance for January, working
with Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd, AK Capital, JM
Financial, and Trust Capital, but activity has now stopped, the
report said on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Adani Enterprises called off its $2.5 billion share sale in
a dramatic reversal on Wednesday this week, after a rout sparked
by a US short-seller’s criticisms wiped billions more off the
value of the Indian tycoon’s stocks.
The Indian markets regulator is already investigating the
matter, including the crash in the company’s shares, any
irregularities in the now-shelved share sale and any possible
price manipulation, Reuters news agency reported this week.
A spokesperson for Adani Group did not immediately respond
to Reuters request for comment. Edelweiss, AK Capital also did
not respond to requests for comment, while JM Financial and
Trust Capital could not be reached.
A report by Hindenburg Research last week alleged improper use of offshore tax havens and stock manipulation by the Adani Group. It also raised concerns about high debt and the valuations of seven listed Adani companies.
