**Mumbai, India** – The Adani Group, an Indian conglomerate, is facing serious allegations of bribery and fraud in the United States. A criminal case alleges that the group paid, or planned to pay, $265 million in bribes to Indian officials to secure solar energy contracts in India. This news has sent shockwaves through the Indian stock market, causing a significant drop in Adani Group share prices.
The fallout has been swift. Following the criminal case in the US, the Adani Group has cancelled a planned bond issue. Furthermore, the Kenyan government has cancelled a contract with the group. The impact is widespread, with the broader Indian market also experiencing significant losses today.
