On Friday, seven Adani Group stocks faced a downturn after Swiss authorities froze $311 million held by a Taiwanese resident over alleged money laundering. The authorities suspect he might be a frontman for the Adani Group, a charge the conglomerate strongly denied.
Specifically, shares of Adani Power dropped 2.73%, Adani Energy Solutions declined by 2.42%, and Adani Ports fell by 1.37%. Similarly, Adani Green Energy, Adani Enterprises, Adani Total Gas, and Adani Wilmar also saw reductions ranging from 0.37% to 1.17% on the BSE.
Three Adani companies managed to buck the trend with ACC jumping 1.94%, NDTV climbing 1.01%, and Ambuja Cements edging up by 0.01%. However, intra-day trading revealed even sharper drops for several firms. The Adani Group vehemently denied any connection to the Swiss court proceedings or the frozen accounts.
