What were the details of charges by the US SEC against Adani?
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Gautam Adani, Sagar Adani, and Cyril Cabanes, an executive of Azure Power Global Ltd, with misleading US investors and alleging a massive bribery scheme with the Indian government.
The US market regulator said the scheme was to secure the Indian government’s commitment to buy energy from them at above-market rates, which would benefit Adani Green and Azure Power.
The group denied all the allegations, calling them “baseless.”
