@gautam_adani, what should we conclude when you say that the expose about your fraudulent business practices is an attack on India?

Aren't you directly implying that the #ModiGovt is hand in glove in your crime?

Are you hence dragging @PMOIndia Mr. @narendramodi in this? Image
Dear @gautam_adani

Your response to #HindenburgReport is actually a 54 page document. Rest all are annexures on financial documents

Your defense spans from page 26 to 54

It's a corporate psycho horror script. Unbelievable. In fact you have agreed with each of the charges
Notes from your response

1. The report is only 54 pages long. After that are a series of annexures. Of various financial statements. Or various legal orders
2. The response to allegations starts at page 26 and goes up to page 54. I really thought I was seeing things. But that's where it ends

3. Stunned because the responses more or less confirm every single allegation made by Hindenburg.
4. Most of the responses fall into the following categories

A. Hindenburg doesn't understand how business is done in India

B. Hindenburg doesn't understand Indian laws

C. We are a listed company and we don't keep track of who owns and trades our shares (that's untrue)
D. We were exonerated by the court. 99/ 100 exonerations in cases by DRI OR SEBI etc materialized swiftly after September 2014, with the charging agencies / appellate tribunals of these agencies/ prosecutors accepting the point of view of Adani with metronomic regularity
E. Hindenburg allegations are wrong. But no further explanation is given (example: why do Adani CFO turnover is so high)

F. Confirm that the Dhandharia firm was the auditors of not just Adani Total Gas but a few other companies as well.

Tough days ahead for you buster.

#AdaniGroup has 7 publicly listed companies and 578 subsidiaries, largely controlled & managed by his family.

These companies had a market value of $200 bn before #HindenburgReport

To give you perspective that's the GDP of Qatar, that hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
By a process called round tripping that manipulates stock prices and asset valuation through shell companies.

But, how exactly does this work?
These shell companies are of 2 types:

1. One stack is an 'industrial shell stack' that buys capital assets such as machinery from market & sell to listed Adani companies such as Adani Enterprises at inflated prices. These shell companies r managed by the Adani family themselves.

A balance of payment (BOP) is an essential document or transaction in the finance department as it gives the status of a country and its economy.

It examines the transaction of all the exports and imports of goods and services for a given period.
The balance of payments (BOP), also known as the balance of international payments, is a statement of all transactions made between entities in one country and the rest of the world over a defined period, such as a quarter or a year.
An example of a transaction recorded in the BOP could be in a case where Country A purchases $10 million worth of goods from Country B.

The $10 million worth of goods in INFLOW to Country A is a debit and will be recorded as -$10 million.

#ModiGovt stares at an ever widening trade deficit that impacts our foreign currency reserves.

A decline in exports led to contraction in its overall outbound shipments by 3.52% in September to $32.62 billion, while the trade deficit widened to $26.72 billion
The trade deficit during the first six months of the fiscal has widened to a whopping $149.47 billion as against $76.25 billion during April-September 2021-22.

This at a time when Indian Rupee depreciates to its weakest value at around ₹82 for 1 USD
Our cost of imports goes up due to deeply depreciated Rupee , which in turn increases the external deficit as well as the fiscal deficit.

A weaker Rupee raises the cost of all imports, thereby increasing the price of goods and and putting upward pressure of doemstic
