At its peak, Adani was the largest Indian conglomerate, surpassing Tata Group. It lost more than $104 billion in value after fraud and market manipulation allegations by short-seller firm Hindenburg Research. The Adani Group has also attracted other controversies due to reports of stock manipulation, accounting irregularities, cronyism, tax evasion, environmental damage, and suing journalists. On January 3, 2024, the Supreme Court resolved the Adani Group stocks dispute triggered by Hindenburg Research's allegations. The Court rejected calls for an SIT or CBI investigation and redirected attention to Hindenburg's actions.
