Over the day, many of the group firms reached their lower circuit limits.

The causes of the selloff
In response to a story by The Ken, the selloff in Adani Group equities resumed. The investigation called into doubt the veracity of the $2.15 billion loan repayment by the Gautam Adani-led ports-to-power company.

The study states that “regulatory documents show that banks have not released a major chunk of the promoters’ shares held as collateral, indicating that the debt has not been entirely paid off, despite the Adani Group’s assertion of “complete” repayment of $2.15 billion in share-backed debt.”

The article also stated that the Adani Group has only partially repaid the loan balance in order to avoid pledging additional shares and facing any repercussions from the lenders.

According to the report, banks have only released the pledged shares of Adani Ports & SEZ after the business announced its prepayment.

Over a month after the loan repayment, the banks have still not issued the shares of Adani Green and Adani Transmission that were pledged. This is extremely unusual because shares that have been pledged are typically released right away when a borrower pays off their debts, it continued.
