Recently, Adani Green Energy refinanced its construction facility, having outstanding debt of $1.06 billion with long-term financing. This is the first major fund raise by Adani Group since the US Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted its top executives, including Chairman Gautam Adani. Adani Green did not specify if it raised the amount via loan or dollar bonds for the project.
Adani Green had earlier shelved its planned $600 million bond offering in November 2024 following the indictment of key executives, including Chairman Gautam Adani, by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on alleged bribery charges. The DOJ accused Adani and others of orchestrating payments to Indian government officials to secure solar energy contracts.
The bond issuance was cancelled shortly after pricing, amid escalating legal and regulatory challenges. This marked the second time in as many months that Adani Green had withdrawn a bond offering; an earlier attempt was shelved due to unfavourable market conditions.
