Abu Dhabi\u2019s International Holding Company (IHC) offloaded a 1.83% st<\/strong>ake in <\/strong>Adani Energy Solutions (AESL)<\/strong>, the power distribution arm of Indian conglomerate Adani, for INR 17.37 bn (c. AED 727 mn) via open market transactions, The Economic Times<\/a> reports, citing Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India data. The identity of the buyers was not disclosed.<\/p>\n

What we know: <\/strong>The block was executed through IHC affiliate Envestcom Holding, which sold nearly 22 mn shares at an average price of INR 790 apiece. Following the sale, Envestcom\u2019s holding in AESL dropped to 0.85% from 2.68%.<\/p>\n

Background: <\/strong>IHC originally invested USD 2 bn (c. AED 7.3 bn) across Adani Green Energy, AESL, and Adani Enterprises in 2022. It had <\/span>announced plans<\/a> to offload stakes in Adani Green and AESL in September 2023, effectively cutting IHC\u2019s exposure to Adani by 50%. Its subsidiary, Green Energy Investment, sold its 1.26% stake in Adani Green, while Green Transmission sold its 1.41% holding in Adani Energy Solutions. <\/span>In March<\/a>, IHC also USD 210 mn worth of shares in Adani Enterprises through two other affiliates, though that stake was later acquired by Envestcom.<\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Adani is in hot water: <\/strong>The move comes as Adani Group continues to face scrutiny, following a US court indictment<\/a> in November of last year alleging bribery to secure electricity contracts \u2014 a charge the conglomerate has dismissed. Still, IHC raised its stake in Adani Enterprises<\/a> to over 5% only a week after it said it would divest its stakes in Adani Energy and Adani Green.<\/p>\n
