SINGAPORE: Citigroup’s wealth unit has stopped extending margin loans to its clients against securities of India’s embattled Adani group, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said, as the conglomerate reels from a short-seller attack.
The group’s flagship firm Adani Enterprises called off its $2.5 billion share sale in a dramatic reversal on Wednesday as a rout sparked by the US short-seller’s criticisms wiped billions more off the value of the Indian tycoon’s stocks.
