It is a simple question In the long run everything can nullify. In the long run even Adani can file for bankruptcy. Yes, by conjecture. No, by proof. "In the long run, we will all be dead" - Keynes. Adani won't be because businesses survive on fundamentals. If they deliver on fundamentals, they are good.

The valuation of assets is the issue here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Adani needs to prove that these shell companies did not help him inflate the value of stock. Please be more informed. This news of shell companies investing in Adani is not new news. It was reported 2 years back. But because a gora brought it up, people like you have made it more relevant. Every company exploits loop holes and commits manipulation. Some of the biggest tech companies in Silicon Valley do it. Apple - the most profitable company ever, pays a measly 7 % corporate tax through manipulations of tax regimes, while regular people pay 33 % income tax. Read this and educate yourself along with @Under_Score. https://americansfortaxfairness.org/issues/corporate-taxes/highlights-of-apples-tax-dodging/ Stop sucking up to everything goras say. Every major corporation indulges in manipulating the system. Edited February 2 by rangeelaraja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 From what I gather is it is the negative publicity of Adani which generated the first short sell which lead to $60 billion losses in the first two days and it increased to $100 billion, a week later. Nothing much, the Adani could do to stop it. Some investors who wished to retain the stock and bonds were victims of bad publicity. Remember media coverage isn't bankable. A good media word is worth tonnes of gold and the opposite is also true. Rather negative publicity routs faster than the good publicity. Future business expansion at Adani will now be in question. There is no way for them to raise money. Hindenburg whether right or wrong has led the rout. This can only be remedied through an in depth investigation. It will take maybe 5 years but an inquiry has to be conducted. All this could take 5 years but a lesson to be learnt here is that if you have to raise capital abroad then all your financial dealings have to be spot clean and constantly examined by outsiders. I hope Adani will survive, because this is a business based on assets and good business practices. Not looking good overall. Under_Score 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fastest way to end these losses and stock price slide is for SEBI to publicly give a clean chit to the Adani group. Short sellers world over claim to do the job that regulators can't do ( SEC in the US, SEBI in India....etc ). So if the grave allegations against Adani are true, it would imply that SEBI was either incompetent or complicit in Adani's so called manipulation. None are good outcomes. Ultimately only SEBi's judgement or action will determine which way this is going. If SEBI were to give a clean chit ( when there is actually a fraud proven eventually ) ...it would tarnish the image of India's institutions irreparably. So I don't think SEBI will do anything to favor Adani. ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They high stakes in all their companies and tangible assets. They can monetize later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
