Adani Group Seeks to Rebuild Investors Confidence through Refinancing Up to $3.8 Bn

The Adani Group, led by Gautam Adani, is currently in talks with global banks and other lenders to refinance a loan of around $3.8 billion that was utilized for the acquisition of Ambuja Cements Ltd. The conglomerate is contemplating the possibility of converting the initial loan into a more extended repayment term and has initiated separate discussions with banks to explore this potential option. The details of these discussions are being kept confidential.

The Adani Group’s refinancing of its loan facility is seen as a crucial test to determine if it can regain access to global credit lines. Earlier this year, US shortseller Hindenburg accused the company of corporate wrongdoing, which Adani has vehemently denied. The refinancing process is expected to be completed in three to four months, with the majority of current lenders anticipated to participate.

According to sources, discussions are underway among major banks like Barclays Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, Standard Chartered Plc, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. regarding their involvement in a refinancing agreement. Some of these lenders have sought approval from their international credit teams for the proposed arrangement. When approached for comment, Barclays, Deutsche, MUFG, and Standard Chartered declined to provide any information. It is important to note that the deal has not been fully confirmed and there is a possibility that it may not move forward.

If the plan is executed, it would indicate a return to normalcy for the conglomerate after dealing with significant damage caused by Hindenburg’s damaging criticism, which resulted in a massive decline in the company’s stock value. A recent report from a panel of experts appointed by India’s Supreme Court stated that there were no regulatory failures or misconduct contributing to the volatile fluctuations in Adani stocks. However, a verdict from India’s securities watchdog is anticipated in August, following their investigation into the allegations made by the shortseller against the Adani Group.
