After the Hindenburg Research report, the shares of Adani Group are facing huge losses and the trend of falling shares is still going on. In such a situation, it has now come to light that this time the shares of Adani Group are facing losses due to the decision of MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International). It seems that Adani Group companies may face another challenge in May 2023 after the exclusion of Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission from the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) index.
According to sources, a decision has been taken to exclude Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission from the MSCI India Index from May 31. After this decision, there has been a big fall in the shares of Adani Group this week and there has been a loss of $ 10 billion. Fund raising plans of Adani Group companies are also likely to be eclipsed. Because of this, investors are still scared.
Adani shares recorded their worst week since February 2023 as Gautam Adani-led companies lost over $10 billion in market cap in the week. Adani Group’s market capitalization jumped from $10.1 billion to around $107 billion in the past week, with Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission, the two stocks to be dropped by MSCI, heading for their worst weeks since late February.
Adani Enterprises incurred a loss of 4 percent.
Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of Adani Group, has recorded the highest weekly loss of 4 percent since March. The company and its transmission unit last week launched plans to raise $2.6 billion through qualified institutional placement or other means, raising concerns of equity dilution. If the share price in the QIP issue is very low, it can be seen as a sign of weakness or desperation.
