Moody's Investor Service announced on Friday that it had changed the rating outlook for four Adani Group firms from stable to negative as a result of a sharp and quick decrease in market value following a disclosure by a short seller located in the US Hindenburg Analysis.

In comparison to January 24, when activist short-seller Hindenburg Research, located in the US, issued a long list of claims against the Gautam Adani-led group, including illegal transactions and share price manipulation, the aggregate market cap of the group companies is down 51%.
