Moody's Investors Service has changed the outlook for 4 of Adani group entities from stable to negative. However, Moody's has affirmed its rating on 8 Adani group companies.
The outlook has been changed to 'negative' for Adani Green Energy, Adani Green Energy Restricted Group, Adani Transmission Step-one Adani Electricity Mumbai Ltd
Moody's said that the negative outlook for Adani green factors in the company's significant refinancing needs of around $2.7 billion by March 2025 and limited headroom to manage any material increase in funding costs.
The change in outlook comes on the back of a rapid decline in the stock value of the Adani Group companies post the release of the Hindenburg research report which made a slew of allegations including stock price manipulation and corporate governance issues within the group. The Adani group has strongly denied the allegations in a 400 page response to the report.
