Invesco, a minor shareholder in Swiggy, in May valued the Indian company at around $5.5 billion, it said in a filing. Swiggy had initially considered raising $800 million to $1 billion via the IPO, banking sources who worked on it in early 2022 have said. Swiggy, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley did not respond to requests for comment, while Bank of America declined to comment. The three sources said Swiggy is aiming to list between July-September 2024 which would be after national elections in India due by May. Swiggy in May said its core food delivery business had turned profitable, nine years after starting operations, even as its newer grocery delivery service, Instamart, continues to make losses.

Feb 11 (Reuters) - Three Adani group companies have pledged shares for lenders to the Indian conglomerate's flagship Adani Enterprises (ADEL.NS), which pulled a $2.5 billion share sale during a recent market rout, the debt trustee firm said. Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSE.NS), Adani Transmission Ltd (ADAI.NS) and Adani Green Energy Ltd (ADNA.NS) pledged shares to SBICAP Trustee Co, the firm said in Friday filings to the Bombay Stock Exchange. SBICAP Trustee said it had received the pledges in its capacity as "security trustee" of the lenders of Adani Enterprises. Fitch estimates that loans to all Adani group entities account for 0.8% to 1.2% of total lending by Indian banks rated by the agency. The Adani exposure of Indian banks is not enough to affect their credit profiles, two global rating agencies have said.

So, how did a relatively young and small New York financial research firm manage to bring the Adani juggernaut to a juddering halt? Much of his fortune is tied up in the sprawling Adani Group, which he founded over 30 years ago. This is not the first time analysts have expressed fear that the rapid expansion of Adani businesses comes with huge risk. In its response, Adani Group said that the “leverage ratios” of its companies “continue to be healthy and are in line with the industry benchmarks in the respective sectors. Adani Group “is not going anywhere,” said Rajat Sharma, founder of financial advisory firm Sana Securities.

Shares of the group’s companies have plunged since Hindenburg’s report, wiping out nearly $64 billion in market value. Hindenburg’s report comes amid a $2.5 billion secondary share sale by Adani Enterprises that closes on Tuesday.
