Slight reprieve for #Adani this week due to a baffling $1.9B from @GQGPartners-who apparently❤️fossil fuels > due diligence. Aside from that it’s been a total binfire for the rapidly unraveling coal giant. Here’s another round up of bad news for Adani’s destructive coal empire🧵
Scrutiny continues to increase on an unfair contract allowing #Adani to overcharge Bangladesh for power from its planned Godda coal station - the intended destination of Carmichael #coal.
"He will take money by doing nothing. This is another robbery."
“It is totally inappropriate for the @sciencemuseum to highlight the role of #Adani Green Energy without highlighting the role of Adani in being a major contributor to human-induced climate change due to its vast fossil fuel activities.” theartnewspaper.com/2023/03/01/cri…
"the Hasdeo area is a fragile biodiversity zone that stretches into elephant corridors of Raigarh… it is also the bastion of #Adani's coal empire. The company has 9 coal blocks...several of which are yet to begin operations due to continuing protests." thewire.in/rights/is-ther…
"Bravus (#Adani) must now do extra groundwater modelling after providing Queensland's Department of Environment and Science (DES) with new information indicating that future underground mining may draw down on water from the nearby Doongmabulla Springs." abc.net.au/news/2023-03-0…
"The National Stock Exchange has removed 4 #Adani Group stocks from the Nifty Alpha 50 index with effect from March 31. These are Adani Enterprises, Adani Green Energy, Adani Transmission, and Adani Total Gas, according to the release by NSE Indices."
To add insult to injury, one of the lone voices #Adani’s own TV network could find to speak out in support of Adani was former 🇦🇺 PM Tony Abbott - a man almost as infamous for his love of fossil fuels as for once eating a raw onion. #StopAdani ndtv.com/india-news/eas…
#Adani 🤥 no. 4080
Adani can’t keep its story straight about the size of its Carmichael #coal mine. The group has made many contradictory and misleading statements about the size of Carmichael, often changing its story depending on which audience it’s addressing. #StopAdani
#Adani🤥no. 4081
2021: Adani told @Vanguard_Group “they had capped the size of the (Carmichael) mine & intended to set an end date for operations to fit within the parameters of a 1.5°C warming scenario."
2022: Adani said they were expanding to 25-30MTPA. marketforces.org.au/vanguards-farc…
“Apart from the future of the billionaire & his business empire, something bigger is on the line: 🇮🇳’s probity in corporate governance & pursuit of a development model in which the state has entrusted a few ultra-rich men with running 🇮🇳’s infrastructure" telegraphindia.com/india/indias-p…
If #Adani are looking for some toxic assets to abandon there's this dirty Australian coal mine that investors universally revile...
Here's another thread of things going very badly for Adani's destructive, climate-wrecking coal empire Feb 20 edition. 🧵 #StopAdani
"@Forbes has identified previously unreported transactions involving offshore funds with ties to Vinod Adani that appear designed to benefit the #Adani Group. The deals also lend further credence to #Hindenburg’s allegations..."
“Thanks to the ‘convoluted structures’ and ‘multiplicity of subsidiaries’ cited in the #HindenburgReport, #Adani has long been able to finance its dirtier operations with the proceeds of sustainable fund flows.”
Things have gone from absolutely horrendous to utterly diabolical for coal giant #Adani. Here’s another thread of bad news that’s hit Adani’s climate-wrecking, forest-annihilating, village-displacing coal empire over the last few days.
#GautamAdani, whose Indian business empire is under pressure over fraud allegations, repaid a $1.1bn share-backed loan last week after facing a margin call of more than $500mn, according to four people with direct knowledge of the matter."
"Shares of #Adani Group’s flagship firm are still expensive on some metrics despite plunging more than 50%... according to a New York University finance professor known for his expertise on valuation."
It was clever of #Adani to copy & paste long tranches of completely irrelevant information into its "rebuttal" to #Hindenburg. Presumably they hoped investors wouldn't have time to read it & would err on their side. But investors should already know better than to fund Adani. 🧵
1000s of activists & community members have been speaking out against #Adani to defend forests, farms, villages & ecosystems in places like Godda, the Hasdeo forest, Vizhinjam & Lake Pulicat. They do so at great personal risk & many have paid a high cost. washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/…
