SEBI Begins Hearings to Recover Gains from Pre-Hindenburg Adani Trades
India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has initiated hearings to recover alleged gains of $22.25 million from trades linked to short positions taken before Hindenburg Research's 2023 report on the Adani Group. The regulator suspects these trades, involving overseas entities like Kingdon Capital and a Mauritius-based fund linked to Kotak International, were based on non-public information. While SEBI dismissed Hindenburg's stock manipulation claims against Adani, it is pursuing enforcement actions against parties profiting from these trades.
