Shares of Adani Power witnessed a sharp decline of 4% during Wednesday’s trading session, with some recovery observed later, after reports surfaced suggesting that a promoter entity might have engaged in a block deal to sell shares to a high-profile global fund.

According to the report, approximately 8.1% of Adani Power’s total equity was traded through these block deals, although the exact data regarding these transactions was yet to be disclosed on stock exchanges.

Coincidentally, another entity within the Adani group, Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone Ltd, revealed that two of its associated entities had purchased slightly over 2% stake in Adani Ports over the span of two months. The BSE filing indicated that Resurgent Trade and Investment, along with Emerging Markets Investment DMCC, collectively acquired a total of 4,38,07,500 shares, equivalent to a 2.03% stake in Adani Ports.
