MUMBAI: Dollar bonds issued by entities of India’s Adani Group continued to fall on Monday following a scathing report by a US short seller which triggered a rout in the conglomerate’s listed firms.
Adani Group said the report on the business house was a “calculated attack” on the country and its institutions while a senior executive compared a rout of its stocks with a colonial-era massacre.
The short seller report has cast doubts on how investors will respond to the company’s record $2.45 billion secondary sale.
