Thu Nov 21 18:28:59 UTC 2024: ## Adani Group Stocks Plunge After US Corruption Allegations

**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Shares of Adani Group companies experienced a sharp decline on Thursday, losing a combined market capitalization of ₹2.25 lakh crore (approximately $27 billion USD) following corruption and fraud allegations in the United States. The steepest fall was seen in Adani Enterprises, with its stock plummeting by as much as 23%.

The allegations, leveled against Gautam Adani and seven others, involve bribery and concealing a $3 billion fund obtained through allegedly fraudulent means. The Adani Group has denied all accusations.

Experts advise investors to exercise caution. Akshay Bhagwat, Senior Vice President at JM Financials Services, cautioned against short-term trading, suggesting the possibility of further declines in Adani Ports and Adani Enterprises in the futures and options segment. While acknowledging the group’s past ability to recover from similar setbacks, Bhagwat recommended a wait-and-see approach before investing, stating that short-term losses may still occur. Long-term investors, however, may consider the situation.

This is the second time the Adani Group has faced significant share price drops due to serious allegations. While the long-term outlook remains debated, current market volatility makes the situation risky for short-term investors.
