Adani shares are under pressure in early morning deals even though Adani Group companies have announced to raise fund up to ₹8,500 crore through issuance of fresh issues. During opening bell today, all 10 Adani group shares turned red. Adani total Gas, Adani Transmission, Adani Enterprises, Adani Power and Adani Green Energy shares were among the Adani group companies that lost maximum during morning deals on Monday.
Adani Total Gas shares lost maximum among all Adani shares as it tumbled around 5 per cent while Adani Transmission share price today lost around 4.50 per cent. Adani Enterprises share price today lost around 3.50 per cent while Adani Power shares lost to the tune of 3 per cent. Adani Green Energy shares went off over 2 per cent. Shares of Adani Wilmar and Adani Ports lost to the tune of one per cent.
According to stock market experts, Adani shares are falling after MSCI Index rejig and recent fund raise programme is unable to pare the negative sentiments emerged after this MSCI announcement. They said that foreign institutional investors (both FIIs and FPIs), who invest in index fund follow MSCI Index and Morgan Stanley has announced to drop Adani Total Gas and Adani Transmission, which would lead to FIIs and FPIs fishing out money from these Adani group shares.
Reason for Adani share price fall
On why Adani shares are nosediving despite fund raise announcement by Adani group, Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, “Adani shares are under pressure due to MSCI’s index rejig and that loss is unable to match with the fund raise announcement. Both FIIs and FPIs who invest in index funds follow MSCI index and due to this rejig, Adani group shares are under sell off heat.”
Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) took the decision as part of its quarterly comprehensive index review. The MSCI has changed its index’s calculation on the number of shares considered freely tradable in the public market for the two companies. The order will be effective at the close of trading on May 31.
