Gautam Adani's group on Sunday expressed confidence that the Rs 20,000 crore Follow on Public Offer (FPO) of its flagship firm Adani Enterprises will sail through despite the massive hammering of the conglomerate's stocks. "The statement from Adani Enterprises that the FPO is on schedule and that there is no change in the price band is hugely important. This can be interpreted as a reflection of the confidence of the management in the success of the FPO," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services, said.
Meanwhile, Hindenburg Research has rejected Adani group's charge that its report was an attack on India, saying a "fraud" cannot be obfuscated by nationalism or a bloated response that ignored response to key allegations.
