The Hindenburg report accused Adani of “pulling off the largest con in corporate history.” Since then, the group has fought back with road shows and foreclosure of loans to try and soothe nervous investors.

However, the challenge isn’t over yet for the group. For instance, Moody’s Investor Services today downgraded the outlook of four Adani companies from “stable” to “negative.” These firms are Adani Green Energy; Adani Green Energy Restricted Group, which includes some other entities of the group; Adani Transmission Step-One; and Adani Electricity Mumbai.

So far, since Jan. 25, the Adani group has lost nearly $150 billion in market value.
