Adani Group stocks have been on the radar after reports made rounds about NSDL freezing 3 FPI accounts of Adani companies. As a result, Adani group stocks yesterday fell 5-20 percent.
However, the accounts of three foreign funds that are big stakeholders of Adani group companies are not frozen, a top official of the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) informed the port-to-energy conglomerate.
To be sure, the NSDL website still shows that the accounts of the three so-called foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) are frozen. But this punitive action pertains to older cases, NSDL officials told Moneycontrol, asking not to be named.
