SEBI sends letter to Hindenburg about Adani short bet

VCCircle · 11m

US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research has received a letter from India's securities regulator, SEBI, outlining potential violations in relation to its short bet against Adani Group last year. Hindenburg disclosed that it made $4.1m in gross revenue through gains related to its Adani shorts from an undisclosed investor relationship. The short-seller also accused Indian firm Kotak Bank of overseeing an offshore fund structure used by its investor partner to bet against Adani. Hindenburg described SEBI's notice as attempted intimidation, accusing the regulator of neglecting its responsibility to protect investors. Adani and Kotak Bank have not yet responded to the allegations.
