IN JANUARY 2023, US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research came out with a report accusing the Adani Group of indulging in billions of dollars' worth of undisclosed related party transactions, investment and stock manipulation. Now, the controversy has reached the doorstep of India's capital markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).
Hindenburg has launched a direct attack on Sebi Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch and the regulatory body, alleging that Sebi has shown a lack of interest in probing the Adani Group's alleged undisclosed network of shell entities. Sebi, Buch, and the Adani Group have all refuted the latest allegations.
In its latest report, Hindenburg has connected the alleged links of the Sebi chief's family with the Adani Group as reason for the delay in the investigation. "We suspect Sebi's unwillingness to take meaningful action against suspect offshore shareholders in the Adani Group may stem from [the] Chairperson's complicity in using the exact same funds used by Vinod Adani, brother of Gautam Adani," the US-based short-seller states. "To date, Sebi has taken no action against other suspected Adani shareholders operated by IIFL: EM Resurgent Fund and Emerging India Focus Funds," it adds.
It alleges Buch and her husband, Dhaval Buch, had stakes in the same offshore funds-Global Dynamic Opportunities Fund (GDOF) and IPE Plus Fund 1-found in the same complex nested structure used by Vinod Adani.
