Adani row not to impact India story, says industry doyen K P Singh of DLF

The turmoil engulfing Gautam Adani's business empire following damning allegations by a US short seller, has not shaken the faith of global investors in India, real estate doyen K P Singh said rubbishing suggestions that banks would have lent to Adani group on instructions from higher-ups. The punishing stock market sell-off Adani group companies have seen following the January 24 report of Hindenburg Research is a temporary blip concerning just one corporate group and hasn't harmed faith in India as an investment opportunity, he told PTI in an interview. He, however, felt the Adani group needs to "beef up" capital and cut down debt to continue to remain on the high growth trajectory. Known for his plain speaking, Singh cited how a Canadian firm had threatened to bring out a report when his retail estate firm DLF was bringing out an IPO one-and-a-half-decade back. "We said push-off (to the Canadian firm)... do whatever you can ," he said, adding there are "blackmailers" who bring o

Adani row: Supreme Court 'no' to Centre's sealed cover suggestion on panel

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to accept in a sealed cover the Centre's suggestion on a proposed panel of experts for strengthening regulatory measures for the stock market. Observing that it wants to maintain full transparency in the interests of investors, a bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and Justices P S Narasimha and J B Pardiwala said it would rather not accept the Centre's suggestion in a sealed cover. "We will not accept the sealed cover suggestion by you because we want to maintain full transparency," the bench said. On February 10, the top court had said the interests of Indian investors need to be protected against market volatility in the backdrop of the Adani Group stock rout and asked the Centre to consider setting up a panel of domain experts headed by a former judge to look into strengthening the regulatory mechanism.

Adani-Hindenburg row: Why is PM afraid of ordering JPC probe, asks Congress

Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Adani-Hindenburg row, the Congress on Friday asked why he is afraid of ordering a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the fraud allegations against the Adani Group and who he is trying to save. Small investors lost Rs 10.5 lakh crore due to the Adani Group and government regulators like the Securities and Exchange Board of India and the Reserve Bank of India are "silent", Congress national spokesperson Gourav Vallabh said at a press conference here. He was here as part of the Congress series "Hum Adani Ke Hai Kaun" (How are we related to Adani). Adani Group stocks took a beating after US-based activist short-seller Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share price manipulation, against the Gautam Adani-led group in a report released on January 24. The Adani Group has dismissed the allegations as lies. Opposition parties, including the Congress, have been demanding a JPC pro

Adani vs Hindenburg: SC to hear PILs, mull over setting up experts' panel

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear during the day a batch of PILs on the recent Adani Group shares crash triggered by the Hindenburg Research's fraud allegations and is likely to mull over setting up of a panel of domain experts for strengthening existing regulatory measures for stock exchanges. The crucial hearing on the PILs by a bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud assumes significance in the wake of recent developments in which the Centre agreed to the apex court's proposal to set up a committee, likely to be headed by a former Supreme Court judge, to look into the regulatory regimes. Stressing that statutory bodies like market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) are fully equipped and are on job, the central government had expressed apprehensions that any unintentional message to the investors that regulatory bodies in India needed a monitoring by a panel may have some adverse impact on the flow of money into the country. The Centre had told the
