Earlier in the day, credit ratings agency Moody's warned that the recent sell-off in Adani group's shares after a short-seller's report could reduce the conglomerate's ability to raise capital. It, however, it did not change its ratings on the group's companies.

Meanwhile, its peer Fitch saw no immediate impact on its ratings and said that it did not expect material changes to Adani Group's cash flow forecast.

In a scathing report last week, Hindenburg Research questioned the conglomerate's debt levels and use of tax havens. Billionaire chairman, Gautam Adani, called the report baseless and affirmed its financials are strong.
