Mumbai: Stocks of the Adani Group companies rebounded on Friday, led by Ambuja Cements and ACC Ltd, after witnessing a sharp sell-off amid US government department allegations, which the Group has vehemently denied as “baseless”.
Ambuja Cements and ACC led gains, rallying 3.81 percent and 3.30 percent, respectively.
Shares of flagship company Adani Enterprises increased by 2.12 percent, and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone gained 2.09 percent.
Adani Total Gas and NDTV stocks gained 1.51 per cent and 0.85 per cent, respectively.
The Adani Group has denied allegations made by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against directors of its subsidiary company Adani Green, saying that all possible “legal recourse will be sought”.
Maintaining that these are mere allegations and must be seen only as that, an Adani Group spokesperson said in a statement that “the allegations made by the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission against directors of Adani Green are baseless and denied”.
As stated by the US Department of Justice itself, “the charges in the indictment are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty,” said the spokesperson.
