In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex traded 0.93 per cent lower at 60,109 at 11:31 AM.

In the past one month, the market price of Adani Total Gas has tanked 79 per cent as the US-based Hindenburg Research published a report on January 24, alleging accounting fraud and stock manipulation. While Adani Green Energy, and Adani Transmission have plunged 73 per cent, and 71 per cent, respectively, the remaining group stocks have slipped in the range of 25 per cent to 60 per cent. The Group has repeatedly denied the accusations. In comparison, the S&P BSE Sensex has slipped 1.9 per cent during last one month.

According to a Bloomberg report, Gautam Adani and his companies are now prioritizing financial health over aggressive debt-fueled expansion spree of recent years. The group's focus has shifted to cash conservation, debt repayment, and recovering pledged shares as it attempts to repair the damage caused by Hindenburg’s report. CLICK HERE FOR FULL REPORT
