The move effectively closes the criminal proceedings that had been underway in New York. According to reports, prosecutors concluded that the allegations could not be pursued further.

Adani Green Energy emerged among the top gainers within the group, rising 3% to ₹1,410.10 during early trade on the NSE.

Adani Enterprises advanced 2.26% to ₹2,750.60, while Adani Total Gas climbed 2.06% to ₹622.65.

Adani Power also traded in positive territory, gaining 0.27% to ₹219.90. Shares of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone were marginally higher at ₹1,792.30, up 0.26%.

Multiple U.S. Proceedings Closed

The latest development follows a series of regulatory resolutions involving Adani Group companies in the United States over the past few days.

Last week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission settled civil allegations related to investor disclosures connected with solar energy projects in India.

According to court filings, Gautam Adani agreed to pay $6 million, while Sagar Adani agreed to pay $12 million as part of the settlement. The filings stated that the settlement was reached without admission or denial of the allegations.

Separately, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control resolved allegations linked to liquefied petroleum gas imports involving Adani Group entities.

Under that settlement, the group agreed to pay $275 million. Reports indicated that the company cooperated with authorities during the investigation process and made disclosures to regulators.

Market Reaction

The withdrawal of criminal charges was viewed positively by investors, leading to buying interest across several listed Adani Group companies during Tuesday’s session.

The group’s stocks have remained in focus in recent sessions amid developments related to legal and regulatory proceedings in the U.S.

Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the conglomerate, and Adani Green Energy were among the most actively watched counters following the announcement.

The criminal case had earlier centred around allegations connected to investor disclosures and financing activities linked to renewable energy projects.

With the latest decision by federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, the criminal proceedings against Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani now stand closed.

The recent settlements and closure of proceedings mark the conclusion of multiple regulatory matters involving the conglomerate in the U.S. over the past week.
