Add Preferred News Source
Adani Group stocks fell sharply on Monday. Adani Enterprises lost nearly 8%. Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Green Energy and Adani Power also saw steep declines. The selling came ahead of the latest MSCI index changes and amid weakness across the broader market.
Adani Group stocks came under heavy selling pressure in Monday’s session as investors repositioned portfolios ahead of the latest Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) index reshuffle.
Adani Enterprises emerged as the biggest loser among the major group companies, while Adani Energy Solutions and Adani Power also declined sharply. The broader weakness in Indian equities also added to the pressure on the stocks.
Adani Group Stocks: Key Highlights
Here is how the different Adani Group stocks performed today:
Adani Enterprises | Nearly 8% |
Adani Energy Solutions | 7.4% |
Adani Green Energy | Around 7% |
Adani Power | 6.5% |
Adani Ports | 4.11% |
Adani Total Gas | 2.5% |
The sell-off was broad-based across the conglomerate. Adani Ports and Adani Total Gas also declined, while the group's cement businesses remained under pressure. Ambuja Cements fell around 2% and ACC declined about 1.5%.
Why Are Adani Stocks Falling Today?
The immediate catalyst is the MSCI index reshuffle, and the revised changes will be effective from 1 September. When constituent stocks are added, removed or given new weightages, index-linked funds and exchange-traded funds usually change their holdings. This can result in concentrated buying or selling, more so during market close.
Four Indian companies are being added to the MSCI Global Standard Index: Laurus Labs, Lenskart, Adani Energy Solutions and Groww.
At the same time, the weightage of existing constituents, including Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports and Adani Power, has been increased.
Big Inflows Expected, But Selling Continues
The sharp fall in Adani stocks comes despite expectations of significant passive fund inflows into some group companies following the index changes.
Adani Energy Solutions is estimated to attract around $310 million after its inclusion in the MSCI Global Standard Index. Adani Enterprises may get close to $202 million while Adani Ports and Adani Power are expected to get around $77 million and $28 million respectively.
The expected inflows, however, have not prevented short-term selling. Investors can reposition ahead of the actual rebalance, which can create temporary price swings even when a stock is expected to receive fresh passive flows.
Broader Market Weakness Adds To Pressure
The selling in Adani stocks also came amid weakness in the broader domestic market today, with both the Nifty and Sensex ending lower.
Global cues were cautious, with higher US bond yields weighing on investor sentiment.
US 10-year Treasury yields climbed to 4.74%, while the 30-year yield rose to 5.22%. Geopolitical uncertainty and a rise of more than 2% in crude oil prices added further pressure on risk appetite.
For Adani Group stocks, Monday’s decline therefore reflects a combination of MSCI-related portfolio adjustments and broader market weakness, with the sharpest moves concentrated in stocks undergoing changes in index inclusion or weightage.
