Discussions are underway between the Gautam Adani-led group and various global banks such as DBS Bank Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Standard Chartered Plc, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, according to the reports. However, the sources have requested anonymity due to the confidential nature of these talks.
Reportedly, the proposed funding could range from approximately $700 million to $800 million, but the specifics of the plan and the amount could still be subject to change.
If the proposed project financing for Adani Group’s green energy initiatives is approved, it could signify the growing willingness of banks to lend money to the conglomerate. This comes after Adani Group faced accusations of corporate fraud by Hindenburg Research, which resulted in the loss of more than $100 billion in market value, despite the group’s denial of the allegations. In response, Adani had to recalibrate his business plans and even prepay certain loans in order to regain investor confidence.
