Apex Court Panel's Clean Chit to Adani Group Over Hindenburg Allegations
The development came only three days after a panel set up by the Supreme Court gave a clean chit to the Ahmedabad-based business group over US investment group Hindenburg Research's allegations.
In its report, the committee of experts stated that prima facie it didn't find any wrongdoing in the working of the ports to airports major.
Also, the panel elaborated that neither there was a "regulatory failure" from SEBI, the market regulator, concerning the Gautam Adani-led empire.
"In one of the patches where the price rose, the foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) under investigation were net sellers. One investing entity that had purchased across the patches had purchased far more of other securities. In nutshell, there was no coherent pattern of abusive trading that has come to light," the panel said in a report submitted to the apex court.
