Adani Group on Monday said shares related to some group companies will be released following the pre-payment of $1.11 billion of loans ahead of their maturity in September 2024.
With the pre-payment of loans against shares, promoter holdings of 12% in Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, 3% in Adani Green Energy Ltd and 1.4% in Adani Transmission Ltd will be released, the embattled group said in a statement.
The loan pre-payment is “in light of recent market volatility and in continuation of the promoters’ commitment to reduce the overall promoter leverage”, the conglomerate said.

Adani Green, Adani Ports, Ambuja Cements, NDTV will announce their Q3 results on Tuesday, Adani Power, Adani Wilmar to announce results on Wednesday and Adani Total Gas on Thursday.
