Adani argued the plants were "unviable" at the trucking rates it wanted to slash by around half. Truckers rejoiced, with a union leader in a street address labelling it as a victory after late-night talks with Adani. After the Hindenburg report, Congress has renewed its claims that Modi for years has unduly favoured Adani. The Adani group wanted freight rates to be lowered to around 6 rupees ($0.0725) per tonne per km, from around 11 rupees. "The Hindenburg report was a gift that saved our businesses."
☆ Indian truckers say Hindenburg report was a godsend in Adani dispute

Signage for the Adani Group in Mumbai, India on Feb. 9, 2023. Adani stocks fell, ending a two-day rally, after MSCI said it was reviewing the amount of shares linked to the group that were freely tradable in public markets. For truckers transporting cement from Adani's factories in a hilly north Indian state, a U.S. short-seller's critical research report on the giant conglomerate was a godsend they say helped them save their livelihoods. Truckers rejoiced, with a union leader in a street address labelling it as a victory after late-night talks with Adani. The settlement comes four weeks after U.S.-based Hindenburg Research accused Adani of stock manipulation and improper use of tax havens, allegations the group called baseless.
