Leaving Hindenburg behind, Moody's upgrades four Adani firms

Moody's has upgraded the ratings of four Adani Group firms, including two green energy companies and two electricity generation and distribution companies. The upgrade comes after the group improved its financials, made timely debt repayments, and received a capital infusion in the past year. The ratings had previously been downgraded following allegations of governance lapses by US-based shortseller Hindenburg Research. Moody's justified the upgrade by citing the group's access to debt capital and equity market transactions. The Supreme Court stated that the Hindenburg report does not reflect the true state of affairs, reducing potential risks for the Adani group.

Adani-Hindenburg Case: Kotak Bank created, oversaw fund used to bet against Adani, claims US short-seller | Mint

Hindenburg Research claims that Kotak Mahindra Bank and brokerage firms associated with Uday Kotak were involved in creating and managing the offshore fund structure used by its investor partner to bet against Adani group stocks. The short-seller criticized the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for failing to mention Kotak's name in its show-cause notice. Hindenburg suspects that SEBI may be protecting influential Indian businessmen, suggesting a lack of scrutiny. SEBI's notice, sent to Hindenburg on June 27, is seen as an attempt to intimidate the short-seller.
