Adani Green Energy’s subsidiary commissioned a 250 MW solar power project in Rajasthan, increasing its total operational renewable energy capacity to 11,434 MW. As a result, shares of Adani Green Energy rose by 8.78%, reaching Rs 1,249 on the NSE.

Meanwhile, Mint reported, citing sources, that the conglomerate has begun talks with several investors and banks to refinance $1.1 billion worth of loans for Adani Green Energy Ltd. The group is in discussions with domestic financial institutions, as well as investors and lenders from the Middle East, Europe, and Japan, for a private placement to refinance these loans. The loans, borrowed from a group of overseas banks, are due for repayment in March. The Adani Green projects linked to these loans are primarily secured by 25-year power purchase agreements, ensuring steady cashflows.
In recent weeks, the Adani Group has faced increased scrutiny, with US prosecutors charging founder Gautam Adani in connection with a $250 million (~Rs 2,100 crore) bribery scheme to secure solar energy contracts in India. The indictment, filed in Brooklyn, New York, accuses Adani, along with Sagar R Adani and Vneet S Jaain, of orchestrating a scheme involving false statements to US investors and violations of federal laws. The charges also allege efforts to obstruct justice by deleting electronic evidence and misleading the Justice Department, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and FBI. Additionally, the SEC has filed a separate civil lawsuit.
