Kansai Electric US$3.5bn Deal Updates – Has Delivered a Decent Correction, as Compared to past Deals

By Sumeet Singh

Adani Green Energy – Event Flash – US Charges Gautam Adani And 2 AGEL Executives

By Tanvi Arora

  • The US indictment of key executives is a material credit negative for the Adani Group, with the allegations being more serious than those from Hindenburg Research’s short-sell report in January 2023.
  • In the near term, the US indictment is likely to constrain the group’s access to financing, particularly in the offshore market.
  • We note that the Justice Department’s charges are directed at the individual executives, not at Adani Green Energy or other group entities.
