Shares of all Adani Portfolio companies had opened in green.
The strong recovery in stocks came after a stock exchange filing by Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL) stated that Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani, nephew Sagar Adani, and senior executive Vneet Jaain are clear of any bribery charges, as per the US Department of Justice (DoJ) indictment.
In its filing, AGEL cited the news reporting by various media houses on the bribery and corruption charges against Adani officials as “incorrect”.
“Media articles which state that certain of our directors namely Mr Gautam Adani, Mr Sagar Adani and Mr Vneet Jaain have been charged with violation(s) of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment. Such statements are incorrect,” said the statement filed by Adani Green Energy Ltd.
“Mr Gautam Adani, Mr Sagar Adani and Mr Vneet Jaain have not been charged with any violation of the FCPA in the counts set forth in the indictment of the US DOJ or civil complaint of the US SEC,” it added.
Only senior officials of Azure Power Global Ltd. and Canadian pension CDPQ have been named in the bribery charges under the US FCPA provisions, Adani Green Energy cited the latest filing from the US DoJ.
Rajya Sabha MP and senior lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani, while talking to IANS, said that the indictment that has come from the US has no basis nor do they have any evidence.
“This entire matter is about Adani Green’s bond issue and neither Adani Group nor Adani Green has been accused in it,” he said.
