Last week, a report from Hindenburg Research was released, alleging that billionaire Gautam Adani’s businesses were involved in a “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme” over many years.[0]<\/a><\/sup> The entity reported that it had established a short position in the Adani Group’s companies, meaning it would gain from a decrease in their worth.[1]<\/a><\/sup> After Hindenburg Research released their report on January 24th, the Adani Group experienced an immense loss in their market value, dropping by over USD 50 billion in only two days of trading. This meant that their chairman, Gautam Adani, lost approximately USD 20 billion, which is approximately one-fifth of his entire wealth.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Adani has expressed doubt about the accuracy of Hindenburg’s report and its timing, claiming the document is an attempt to not only harm their company but also undermine India’s autonomy, the reliability of Indian establishments, and India’s potential for prosperity.[3]<\/a><\/sup> <\/p>\n

Hindenburg then said Adani\u2019s rebuttal ignored all its key allegations and was \u201cobfuscated by nationalism.\u201d[4]<\/a><\/sup> On Monday, the short seller noted that the conglomerate’s statement did not give a direct response to 62 out of Hindenburg’s 88 queries, and that it lumped together the “meteoric rise” of the company and the fortune of Asia’s wealthiest individual with the prosperity of India as a whole.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

In its rebuttal published Sunday, the Adani Group said that some 65 of the 88 questions in Hindenburg\u2019s report had been addressed in the conglomerate\u2019s public disclosures, describing the short-seller\u2019s conduct as \u201cnothing short of a calculated securities fraud under applicable law.\u201d[6]<\/a><\/sup> It reiterated that it would exercise its rights \u201cto pursue remedies to safeguard our stakeholders before all appropriate authorities.\u201d[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The Adani Group declared that the report is an “unscrupulous amalgamation of distorted information, hidden facts, and baseless and debunked allegations, which are all meant to achieve a secondary purpose”.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Jugeshinder Singh, the CFO of Adani Group, declared in a formal statement on Wednesday that the company was taken aback by the report, labeling it a “malicious amalgamation of choosy misinformation and aged, baseless, and discredited claims.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
