Why govt avoiding debate on Adani row?: Randeep Surjewala

Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Randeep Singh Surjewala on Monday attacked the Centre over the Hindenburg-Adani row, questioning the government's 'loud silence' on the issue.

"Why is the government avoiding a discussion on the Adani scam? Why are the Finance Minister and PM Modi not coming to the Parliament? Why was the country's wealth, LIC and SBI's money invested in Adani's sinking companies?" Surjewala said.

He also asked the government to explain why the valuations of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and the State Bank of India (SBI) were 'falling'.

"Why did the investment value of the money that was invested in Adani's shares decrease by 30,000 crores? The country wants to know how the Amrit Kaal budget became the 'Mitra Kaal' budget to suit PM Modi's friend," he said alleged. (ANI)

Has Adani's rout slowed an early emerging-market rally?

Adani Group's rout of 108 billion dollars alongside rate hike scenarios from central banks likely has slowed down the year's Emerging-Market rally.

Adani Rout Drags India’s Weighting in EM Index as Taiwan Gains

From Bloomberg-- India’s weighting in MSCI’s emerging-market benchmark has dropped after the brutal selloff in Adani Group’s stocks, giving away its second spot to Taiwan after a rally in the latter’s market.

As of the end of January, Taiwan’s weighting in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose to 14.2%, behind leader China’s 31.2%, while India’s fell to the third spot with 13%, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. India captured the second spot from Taiwan in August.

The role reversal between India and Taiwan highlights the contagion of a stock meltdown that has wiped out $112 billion of market value in Gautam Adani’s indebted conglomerate since US-based Hindenburg Research made fraud allegations against the billionaire’s business empire. While the MSCI India Index has lost 4.2% this year, its Taiwan counterpart has surged about 11% as part of a broader North Asian rally induced by China’s reopening optimism.
