This comes amid reports suggesting that the Tamil Nadu government initiated a preliminary inquiry into a coal import scandal involving the Adani Group and other entities, according to reports. The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) is investigating allegations of irregularities in tender conditions and coal imports, potentially resulting in significant financial losses for the state.
However, Adani Enterprises responded by stating they had not received any communication regarding these matters and thus could not comment on their accuracy at this time.
In an exchange filing, Adani Enterprises said, “Adani Enterprises Limited (“Company”) has not received any notice and/or communication in this regard and hence the Company is not in a position to comment on the veracity of the above referred news item.”
Earlier this week, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) issued a show cause notice to Hindenburg Research, Mark Kingdon, and others, alleging collusion in using non-public information to take short positions against Adani Group stocks.
The notices were linked to a report by Hindenburg Research that allegedly caused major market disruption and led to a substantial decrease in Adani Group's market value.
