As of 09:34 AM, Adani Enterprises, the flagship group company, was locked at the temporary lower circuit of 15 per cent at Rs 1,330 on the BSE. The stock trades in the futures & option (F&O) segment, which has no circuit limits.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday shifted Adani Enterprises, APSEZ, and Ambuja Cements to a category of stocks that require up to 100 per cent trading margins and are subject to greater scrutiny to curb short-selling.
The purported short-term additional surveillance measure (ST-ASM) Stage 1 will be made applicable to these stocks on new positions created, starting February 6. Under this, traders cannot avail of intraday leverage and their 100 per cent traded value gets blocked as margin. CLICK HERE FOR FULL REPORT
In past three days, the stock price of Adani Enterprises has tanked 55 per cent after the company cancelled its Rs 20,000 crore follow-on-offer (FPO).
“Given the unprecedented situation and the current market volatility the company aims to protect the interest of its investing community by returning the FPO proceeds and withdraws the completed transaction,” Adani Enterprises said in a statement to the exchanges on Wednesday, February 1, evening.
