BSE and NSE had lowered Adani companies circuit limit in January
In January, bourses BSE and NSE lowered the circuit limit of Adani Transmission, Adani Green Energy and Adani Total Gas.
Generally, exchanges set the circuit limits to curb large movements in the price of shares in a very short time.
The decision was taken after the heavy beating of the Adani stocks following the allegations made by US-based Hindenburg Research against the group.
The Hindenburg report alleged stock manipulation and fraud by the conglomerate. The Adani Group attacked Hindenburg as "an unethical short seller", stating that the report by the New York-based entity was "nothing but a lie".
