Meanwhile, Mint newspaper reported, citing sources, that the conglomerate has initiated talks with a clutch of investors and banks to refinance $1.1 billion worth of loans of Adani Green Energy Ltd.

According to sources, the group has engaged in discussions with domestic financial institutions, as well as investors and lenders from West Asia, Europe, and Japan, for a private placement to refinance its loan.

The loans, borrowed from an undisclosed group of overseas banks, are due for repayment in March. The Adani Green projects tied to these loans are primarily backed by 25-year power purchase agreements ensuring assured cashflows.

Over the past few weeks, the Adani Group has faced renewed scrutiny as US prosecutors have charged founder Gautam Adani with participating in an alleged $250 million (~Rs 2,100 crore) bribery scheme to secure solar energy contracts in India. The indictment, filed in Brooklyn, New York, accuses Adani, along with Sagar R Adani and Vneet S Jaain, of orchestrating an elaborate scheme involving false statements to US investors and violations of federal laws.

The allegations also include attempts to obstruct justice by deleting electronic evidence and misleading the Justice Department, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and FBI. In addition to the criminal charges, the SEC has filed a separate civil lawsuit.
