On February 1, Adani Enterprises withdrew a fully subscribed Follow-on Public Offer (FPO), as going ahead with the issue right now 'would not be morally correct.'

Adani Group companies, including the flagship Adani Enterprises, have been been bleeding in the stock market, ever since allegations surfaced against group founder-chairman Gautam Adani and his conglomerate, of pulling off the ‘largest corporate fraud in history.’
