Adani Group: After the report of Hindenburg Research, the problems of Adani Group are not taking the name of reducing. Where on one hand the group has been forced to withdraw the FPO of its flagship company Adani Enterprises after being fully subscribed. At the same time, the shares of the listed companies of the group are constantly falling. Now the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has also taken a big decision in this regard.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, says that it has started an investigation into Adani Group's financial statements and other regulatory submissions. However, meanwhile, the Adani Group denied the allegations made in the Hindenburg Research report.

First major action from the government

Hindenburg Research released the report against Adani Group on 24 January. After this, the shares of some companies of the group have registered a decline of up to 50 percent. Meanwhile, from National Stock Exchange to other market regulators are involved in the investigation of this matter.
