Gautam Adani, the chairman of Adani Group, has publicly addressed the implications of the Hindenburg report, characterizing it as an assault aimed at undermining the conglomerate and tarnishing India's political image. These remarks come more than a year after the American investment research firm Hindenburg Research released its contentious report on the stocks of Adani Group.
Adani articulated his perspective on the matter, stating, "On January 24 last year, we faced an extensive offensive from a U.S. short seller. The intent was not solely to destabilize our group but also to cast aspersions on India's governance.
Despite their attempts to unsettle us, we remained resolute, protecting our integrity and maintaining our operational focus."
The Hindenburg report, published on January 24, 2023, accused the Adani Group of engaging in fraudulent activities, accounting malpractices, and manipulating the stock market.
This accusation precipitated a significant downturn in the stock values of Adani Group companies, erasing approximately $111 billion in investor wealth. Consequently, Gautam Adani's ranking among the world's wealthiest individuals plummeted from the second position to below the top twenty.
Previously, Adani had communicated to shareholders, "On the cusp of our Republic Day, a U.S.-based short seller released a report, coinciding with our preparation for India's largest Follow-on Public Offering (FPO). The report was laden with selective misinformation and long-discredited claims, designed to harm our reputation and profit from a calculated depreciation of our stock value."
