S&P's rating outlook revisions come in the wake of US prosecutors indicting Gautam Adani and two other board representatives for their alleged involvement in a $250 million bribery scheme related to solar power contracts in India.
After S&P's negative rating outlook yesterday, Nizam Idris of Macquarie Bank believes that its implications can be far reaching if other rating agencies also follow suit. Mulling about a possibility of a downgrade in the absence of reforms, Idris expects the rupee to hover around the Rs 52 to Rs 54 per dollar rate.
