Adani Stocks Diverge as Sensex and Nifty Rise
Indian stock markets were mostly stronger on Monday.
However, some Adani Group companies saw their share prices fall.
Adani Total Gas dropped the most, declining 5%.
Adani Ports fell 2%, while Adani Power slipped slightly.
Other Adani companies, including Adani Green Energy, rose.
Some investors may have sold shares to lock in profits after last week’s gains.
The wider market was helped by lower oil prices and institutional investors buying shares.
Jefferies had recently pointed to growth opportunities in several Adani businesses.
Adani Total Gas fell 5% to ₹629.30, while Adani Ports declined 2% to ₹1,766.70.
Adani Power slipped 0.7%, but Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions and Adani Enterprises advanced.
The declines followed profit booking after several Adani stocks rallied on Jefferies’ positive growth assessment last week.
The Sensex rose 0.64% to 74,773.01 and the Nifty gained 0.25% to 23,404.65.
Lower crude prices and renewed foreign and domestic institutional buying supported broader Indian market sentiment.
