After taking a beating on the bourses, following the report by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research, many of the group stocks have recovered some lost ground. However, amid sluggish broader market trends, the group's stocks have declined in the last few trading sessions.
The explosive report had made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, against it. The Adani group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements.
