The Adani Group has also faced scrutiny from short-seller Hindenburg Research, which accused the conglomerate of long-standing financial and accounting irregularities, including stock manipulation.

Adani Group responded with a 413-page rebuttal, denying wrongdoing and accusing Hindenburg of spreading selective misinformation.
