Adani Group still eligible for CEMBI, JACI, JESG indexes - JP Morgan

The bid cancellation has emerged at a time when the entire Adani Group has been plunged into a crisis following a report by US-based Hindenburg Research, which alleged gaps in the group's financials.

India’s Adani Group, which has in recent weeks suffered a brutal share selloff following the release of a U.S. short-seller report, remains eligible for the CEMBI, JACI and JESG indices, said JP Morgan in a note on Monday.

”Per current index rules, Adani Group companies remain eligible for inclusion in CEMBI, JACI and JESG indices,” JP Morgan said in the note.

”We continue to monitor publicly available information and liquidity of the securities, and in case of market disruption or confirmed default event.”

Adani Group’s businesses include ports, power generation, transmission and renewable energy, among others, with a total notional of S$7.7 billion in the CEMBI and JACI indexes.
