SEC and Adanis Jointly Request Extension, Propose New Schedule in US Securities Case

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Indian businessmen Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani have jointly requested an extension from the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York to file key submissions in a civil securities case. The SEC sued the Adanis in November 2024, alleging they misled investors by not disclosing an alleged bribery scheme involving Indian officials. The Adanis deny the allegations, seeking dismissal on grounds including lack of jurisdiction. Both parties have proposed a revised briefing schedule pending court approval.
