MUMBAI, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Indian banks' exposure to the Adani Group is within manageable limits, said brokerage houses CLSA and Jefferies, as the group fend off an attack from well-known short-seller Hindenburg Research.
For public sector banks (PSU), the debt is at 0.7% of total loans and for private banks, it is at 0.3%.
Indian banks have exposure to less than 40% of total group debt, the brokerage estimates.
"Within this, private banks' exposure is below 10% of total group debt and most banks have indicated that they have largely financed assets with strong cash flows, such as airports/ports," CLSA said.
While PSU banks have material exposure at 30% of group debt, this level has not increased in the past three years, CLSA said.
