Overview
- SEBI issued a 50-page order disposing of a November 10, 2023 show-cause notice and closed the proceedings without penalties or directions.
- The order found no evidence that Pranav Adani communicated unpublished price-sensitive information and deemed the May 16 phone call unrelated to any UPSI.
- Regulators said the information ceased to be UPSI at 3:25 pm on May 16, 2021, with trades by Kunal and Nrupal Shah on May 17 deemed genuine.
- SEBI cited market moves—upper circuits on May 17 (5%) and May 18 (4.84%) versus a 3.75% rise on May 19 after the formal announcement—as evidence the news was already absorbed.
- The probe reviewed Adani Green trading from Jan 28 to Aug 20, 2021, and a separate order also cleared Vinod Bahety, Tarun Jain, Rajtaru Enterprises and MC Jain Infoservices.
