Adani Group Stocks: Outcry in Adani Group due to an order of the US Court! ₹1.4 lakh crore sunk, shares fell by 15%, know what is the whole matter

Mumbai: There was a stir in the shares of Adani Group in the Indian stock market on Friday, 23 January 2026. Heavy selling was seen in the shares of all the listed companies of the group, due to which a huge decline of ₹ 1.4 lakh crore was recorded in the market capitalization (Market Cap) of the group in a single day. The strict stance of America’s courts and regulatory bodies has created an atmosphere of panic among investors, due to which this tsunami occurred.

One more news and the entire group disintegrated: What is the main reason for the decline?

The biggest reason for this huge fall is the new application given by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a New York court. SEC has sought special permission from the court to send summons to Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani through email. The SEC told the court that the Indian authorities had rejected the request to send the summons through official channels (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty) on procedural grounds. Now the SEC wants to proceed with the legal process directly through email, which investors are seeing as a major crisis.

What are the allegations of bribery of ₹2,200 crore against Adani Group?

This entire matter is related to the alleged scam exposed in November 2024, in which major allegations have been made against Adani Group:

• Bribery charges: He is accused of paying bribes of approximately $265 million (over ₹2,200 crore) to Indian officials to obtain solar energy contracts.
• Accused of misleading investors: There is also a serious allegation of raising funds by misleading American investors and lenders.

Bad results added fuel to the fire

Amid this legal crisis, Adani Green Energy’s disappointing financial results have further increased investor concerns.

• There has been a huge decline of 99% in the company’s profits in the third quarter of the current financial year.
• Last year, in the same quarter, the company had made a profit of ₹ 444 crore, which has come down to just ₹ 5 crore this time.

Which stock declined by how much today? (23 January 2026)

A huge fall was seen in the shares of major companies of the group in today’s trading:

• Adani Green Energy: About 15% rolled off.
• Adani Enterprises: 10% Broke more than.
• Adani Energy Solutions: 11% Huge decline.
• Adani Ports: close to 8% Weakened.

The group gave clarification, but investors got nervous

Adani Group has once again rejected all these allegations calling them ‘baseless’. The group says that they are a law-abiding company and will use all legal options to prove their innocence in the US court. However, market analysts believe that unless a clear solution to this legal dispute is found, the shares of Adani Group may continue to fluctuate heavily. Investors have been advised to remain cautious and invest carefully at this time.
