New Delhi: The Dalal Street once again saw major turbulence on first day of the week, with Adani Group stocks leading the downtrend. Stock markets opened in red, with benchmark indices Sensex dropping to about 500 points.

Adani Transmission was the biggest loser as it recorded a big low of 10% while Adani Enterprises, whose proposed FPO was to hit markets this week, also slipped about 7.5%.

According to market analysts, the accumulated loss in all the Adani Group stocks stood at a whopping Rs 50,000 crore. The business behemoth saw its market capitalisation dropping to new lows and breaching Rs 9.50 lakh crore mark.

sebi on adaniEver since Hindenburg’s sensational report, the company’s m-cap & valuation has seen a sharp decline. In 8 consecutive sessions, the company has lost about Rs 10 lakh crore.

Due to high volatility & market turbulence, Adani Enterprises was also forced to defer its Rs 20,000 FPO. The company had ambitious plans to raise about $500 million via international bonds under the IPO.

To calm down the tempers & assuage the concerns of investors, billionaire Gautam Adani himself made a public statement but that failed to contain the free-fall in its stocks.

A day ago, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rubbished allegations of ‘state support’ to the embattled group and said that SEBI is taking adequate measures to address excess volatility in the markets.
