Comeback strategy
Adani Group has come up with a comeback strategy that involves repaying loans on or ahead of time in order to stem the stock market rout following the Hindenburg report.
On Monday, Adani Ports & SEZ announced that it had repaid a $1,500 loan and would repay 5,000 crores in FY24, as well as another $500 million bridge loan due in March.
As part of the move, the group has also withdrawn its follow-on public offer (FPO) of 20,000 crore for the acquisition of DB Power for 7,017 crore.
By delaying some projects, avoiding bidding for new ones, and selling some assets, Adani Green can repay debt worth rupees 22,000 crore by FY25.
