The Adani Group firms saw a 10%?20% decrease in their shares, with some of their quities entering the lower circuit on the exchanges, a sign of intense selling pressure. Adani Enterprises Ltd, the company's flagship, had a 19% decrease in shares, while Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, Adani Power Ltd, Adani Green Energy Ltd, Adani Energy Solutions Ltd, and joint venture Adani Wilmar Ltd saw declines of 17.5%, 19.4%, and 10%, respectively.
The Nifty 50 Index of National Stock Exchanges, which represents the overall trend of the market, fell 5.9% throughout the day. Even with a slim majority, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is expected to form the government, and many predict that privatisation and market reforms will likely be off the agenda. Adani Enterprises' management had previously said that it intended to submit a proposal in the next phase of airport privatisation run by the Airports Authority of India.
Thirteen airports run by the AAI will be leased by the government to businesses in the private sector. Additionally, Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd. had expressed interest in taking part in the Container Corporation of India's privatisation process, which is under government supervision.
"In our opinion, factor market changes pertaining to labour, land, and agriculture are no longer on the table. In the short term, government capital expenditure may be hindered by the risky privatisation and asset monetization processes, according to research by Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd.
Under the National Monetization Pipeline, the BJP-led government started the asset sale process with the goal of using the earnings to fund more infrastructure development. Adani Group enterprises have reaped enormous benefits over the last ten years, thanks in large part to the BJP-led central government's push for infrastructure development. The company has expanded its ports and shipping sector and emerged as a key participant in airport operations in the nation.
