'Every attack makes us stronger': Gautam Adani amid row over US indictment
India TV NewsIn his first public address following recent allegations and a U.S. indictment, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, reiterated his company's resilience, declaring that "every attack makes us stronger." Speaking at the 51st Gems and Jewellery Awards on Saturday, Adani addressed the legal challenges his conglomerate is facing, following charges of securities fraud and violations of anti-bribery regulations related to Adani Green Energy Ltd. On November 20, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against Gautam Adani and other senior executives, alleging misleading statements in AGEL’s bond offering documents. The legal challenges come at a time when Adani Green Energy had to cancel a $600-million bond issue after the U.S. indictment, causing a temporary dip in Adani Group stock prices. Adani concluded by reaffirming his commitment to operational excellence, noting that the group's financial stability had remained strong despite external challenges, with no downgrades from credit rating agencies and positive validation from India’s Supreme Court.
