Among the group firms, Adani Transmission and Adani Green have lost as much as 62% in market capitalisation over the past week.
According to a research analyst with a brokerage, who did not wish to be quoted, the major damage caused by the report by Hindenburg Research seems to be behind us. While the group has denied the allegations mentioned in the report, it has had a minimal impact in controlling the damage.
However, the announcement of a $400-million investment in the FPO by Abu Dhabi’s IHC has somewhat allayed the concerns, he pointed out, which has led to a stop in the panic.

“With the focus now shifting to the Budget, the shares may stop falling, or fall at a lower pace. Most of the stocks that fell 15-20% are likely to bounce back, though stocks like Adani Green and Adani Transmission, which have nosedived, could see some pressure for the time being. In addition, there might be further selling pressure owing to margin calls, etc, but the major panic seems to have ended on Monday, and Tuesday onwards, we could see a recovery,” said the analyst.
According to NSE data, the Adani Enterprises futures slated for expiry on February 23 were trading at Rs 2,887.50, March 29 at Rs 2,862 and April 27 at Rs 2,861.
