After the Adani Group, who was in controversy for two years due to allegations of Hindenburg report, received a clean chit from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the group president Gautam Adani sent a passionate message to the employees. He said that now the company’s main focus will be on transparency, innovation and long -term impact.
PTI quoted Gautam Adani saying, “Today the cloud has surrounded us for more than two years. SEBII’s comprehensive investigation has dismissed all the allegations in the January 2023 Hindenberg report.”
The Hindenburg report published in January 2023 made serious allegations on the Adani Group such as a mess in accounting, value manipulation in the stock market and use of unclear offshore institutions. This was followed by a huge decline in the shares of the group listed companies and market capitalization declined by more than $ 150 billion.
SEBI’s recent investigation dismissed the allegations that the transactions stated by Hindenberg did not come under the parties concerned and the group did not use the respective parties for fund routing in their listed units. Gautam Adani described these allegations as a “targeted, multidimensional attack” and during this time appreciated the commitment and patience of the group employees. “This attack was not just a market event,” he said.
He said that even in the midst of this challenge, the projects of the group – Bandargah, power plant, airport and renewable energy -failure continued to grow. “When the world was arguing about us, our ports were growing, transmission lines were spreading far, power plants were running in a reliable manner, renewable projects were making the world green, airports were getting advanced, cement furnaces were active and logistics teams were working without any mistake,” he said. “You have proved that working under pressure is the real test of character, and Adani’s character is unbreakable.”
For the future, he emphasized on maintaining transparency, speeding up innovation and creating a long -term heritage.
“Whatever we do, it should have an honesty and transparency basis – inseparable, without compromise, and consistently preserved,” he said. He needed to intensify innovation in energy, logistics and infrastructure areas and adopt changes. “We have to work not for today’s applause, but to create such a heritage which will remain for decades. The headlines fade, but what we make should be imprinted on history.”
He asked the employees to adopt the change and shape the future according to their thinking.
“Either we will create the future according to our dreams or the future will shape us according to our fear.” In his message, he also shared personal emotions and thanked the support of the employees.
“I know the quietly worries that your families felt, and sometimes the doubts you came to be present every day-you fought for my faith,” said Adani.
He called this crisis ‘Agnipat’ and stated that it has further strengthened the foundation of the group. He warned that more challenges would come in the future, but the group’s ability has given confidence to face every difficulty.
In the last ten years, the Adani Group moved beyond ports and logistics to expanded areas such as energy, data centers, airports, cement and green hydrogen, making Gautam Adani become the second richest person in the world. But this development stopped after the Hindenburg report.
SEBI investigation, Supreme Court questions, Global Investors’ concern and bribery investigation by the Department of US justice kept the group under pressure for a long time. Nevertheless, the group re -acquired the confidence of the market through strategic investment, debt cuts and expansion of infrastructure. GQG Partners and global investors like International Holding Company of Abu Dhabi also participated in it.
The shares of Adani Enterprises Limited have increased by more than 80 percent from the beginning of the year to Monday, which is a better performance than the Nifty 50 index. Although SEBI’s orders do not abolish all the allegations and an American investigation is going on, this clean chit will definitely bring positivity to investors.
Adani said at the end of his message,
Let History Remember the Past 3 Years as the Spark That Built A Greater ADAI – an adani that studies taller in dignity with every challenge it quietly covers. Barriers we dared to break, echo through every tomorrow we dared to build, echo through every dream we die Our motherland, bharat. “
