Shares of companies in India's Adani Group plunged after Gautam Adani, one of the world's richest people, was indicted in a New York federal court on charges regarding an alleged bribery and fraud scheme.
An Adani Group spokesperson said the allegations made by the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission against directors of Adani Green Energy are "baseless and denied."
Following the indictment charges, Adani Green Energy cancelled plans to raise around $600 million through U.S. dollar-denominated bonds.
