Stocks of companies controlled by Gautam Adani last month recorded their biggest-ever declines in the week ending June 18 after a newspaper report that the accounts of three Mauritius-based foreign investors in Adani companies had been frozen.
Shares in the six Adani companies have fallen between 12.9% and 44.9% in the five weeks after that news report. The stocks have cumulatively lost over $37.6 billion in just over a month after that news report, even after Adani rejected the article as “blatantly erroneous.”
