Whether Adani is eligible for raising money via FPO

Rule says you cannot if SEBI investigation is ongoing

A detailed thread on the eligibility test of Adani Enterprises FPO

#AdaniFPO #AdaniGroup #AdaniEnterprises #ADANIENT Image
The law

As per regulation 155 of SEBI ICDR Regulations company cannot bring the FPO if investigation by sebi is ongoing or show cause notice has been served and pending Image
Backstory,In July-21 Govt in parliament responded to questions raised by @MahuaMoitra and stated that SEBI is investigating Adani Group

moneylife.in/article/sebi-d… ImageImage
Same day, Adani group clarified that there is no investigation ongoing by Sebi, though theybmentioned that Sebi has sought some "specific information" (more details on this later) Image
A month after parliamentary response, Sebi kept Adani Wilmar IPO "in abeyance" without giving further details.

Most probably due to Sebi ongoing investigation which Govt mentioned

m.economictimes.com/markets/ipos/f…
Adani Group in RHP documents (Adani Wilmar IPO and Adani Enterprises IPO) didn't disclose about any such investigation which govt mentioned

But stated that Sebi sought some information in Nov-20 and it responded but no show cause notice or further communication issued Image
Also interesting to note is how the description of "specific information" sought by Investigation dept of Sebi has changed in both (Adani Wilmar vs Adani Ent) has changed

Pic 1 : Adani Ent
Pic 2 : Adani Wimar (highlighted in red the missing information in FPO doc) ImageImage
To give perspective on timing,
Sebi sought information from Adani Group in Nov-20 (before @suchetadalal 's tweet on Adani Group) while Govt response came after her tweet
Fast forward to 2023, @HindenburgRes says SEBI investigation is ongoing and not concluded as of Sept-22 ImageImage
@Reuters @jaysh88 also mentioned that Sebi investigation is ongoing Image
Summarizing there are evidences that investigation is ongoing but Adani group has denied it.

If investigation is ongoing Adani Enterprises is no eligible for Fast Track FPO route
Sebi needs to clarify

1. Whether investigation is ongoing or not?
2. What actions Sebi took after taking information from Adani in Nov-20?
3. Clarify on scope & person involved in investigation mentioned by Govt
4. Whether there investigation is on Adani or its FPIs?
Cont
Cont
5. Whether Adani Enterprises suffice the pre conditions of Fast track FPO as mentioned in reg 155 of ICDR?
Interestingly fast track route of FPO doesn't need Sebi nod.

OSEL Device[900Cr Marketcap] - A Trader ( Sorry Manufacturer) of hearing aids and LED Display System.

A Thread on

How OSEL Turned Negative Ops Cash into Positive?
And Many More things... Image
If you see Sep-25 Cashflow,

If reported correctly, Operating Cash Flow would likely be negative -₹40 Cr (vs. reported positive ~₹10 Cr).
How?

By classifying increase in short-term borrowings (e.g., Cash Credit) under Operating Activities instead of Financing.
Standard Accounting: Short-term borrowings belong in Financing Activities. Operations should reflect core business cash generation from customers, inventory, etc. This adjustment artificially inflates CFO, masking underlying working Capital Stress.

Ever wondered what lines the walls of an induction furnace and quietly powers India's steel boom?
It's not flashy.
It's not expensive.
But it's insanely sticky.

Welcome to the world of Ramming Mass: the unsung hero of steelmaking.

A thread on this niche industry and the available 2 Listed Companies in this space.

Raghav Productivity
Monolithisch IndiaImage
Ramming mass is like a thick protective coating inside furnace walls.

It withstands extreme heat, reduces downtime, and improves steel quality.

Steel makers use just 3-4 kg of RM per ton of steel.
Price: Only ₹5-6 per kg.
Sounds like a rounding error in Steelmakers costs, right?

But if it fails… the entire furnace is at risk.

Production halts.
Losses Increases.
That's the stickiness.
Customers don't switch easily.
Quality = trust.Image
India's steel industry is on fire. Current capacity: ~220 MT

Target: 300 MT by 2030

They're planning to add in the next 5 years what took the last 10 years.

Massive capex incoming in secondary steel (induction furnaces).

Who supplies the critical lining for these new furnaces?
Only two listed players.Image

How Vedanta is running a Ponzi scheme?

- parasite holding company?
- on the brink of insolvency?
- financial zombie?

After going through the 87-page report, here is the 🧵thread on what @viceroyresearch found.

#Vedanta #redflag #corporategovernance #SEBI #HindustanZinc #VEDL #ViceroyResearchImage
Fundamental Problem - Why it's a Ponzi Scheme for VEDL Shareholders

To service its own debt burden, VRL is systematically draining VEDL, forcing the operating company to take on ever-increasing leverage and deplete its cash reserves. This looting erodes the fundamental value of VEDL, which constitutes the primary collateral for VRL's own creditors.

VRL forces VEDL to declare disproportionately large dividends, which are funded not by free cash flow but by taking on more debt and draining its balance sheet

VEDL has incurred a $5.6b free cash flow shortfall against dividends paid in the last 3 years..Image
Image
This arrangement has pushed the entire group to the brink of insolvency, propped up only by a continuous cycle of new debt, accounting tricks, and the deferral of massive, undisclosed liabilities.

Major allegations/red flags:

Bait and Switch Funding Model - Raise fresh capital to service debt in the name of new projects like Semiconductor

Irreconcilable Interest Expenses

Inflated asset values of non-operating subsidiaries exceed the value of debt

CAPEX Fraud - Expenses across operating subsidiaries are systematically capitalized, artificially inflating profits and asset values. This is a material misrepresentation.

Off-Balance Sheet Items – Billions of dollars of disputed expenses are kept off-balance sheet and undisclosed in financial reports.

Governance failures across management and auditors, including inappropriate auditor choicesImage
