US SEC seeks India's help in Adani fraud probe
Feb 18 (Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has requested assistance from Indian authorities in its investigation of Adani Group founder Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani over alleged securities fraud and a $265 million bribery scheme, a court filing showed on Tuesday.
The SEC told a New York district court its efforts to serve its complaint to Gautam and Sagar Adani were ongoing and that it is seeking help from India's Ministry of Law and Justice to serve its complaint to Gautam and Sagar Adani.
Neither man is in U.S. custody, and they are currently located in India.
Adani Group didn't immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The Indian government could not be immediately reached outside regular business hours.
Last year, federal prosecutors in Brooklyn unsealed an indictment accusing Adani of bribing Indian officials to convince them to buy electricity produced by Adani Green Energy (ADNA.NS), opens new tab, a subsidiary of his Adani Group conglomerate, and then misleading U.S. investors by providing reassuring information about the company's anti-corruption practices.
Adani Group has called the allegations "baseless" and vowed to seek "all possible legal recourse."

Exclusive: India's central bank to use cash reserve ratio more actively to manage liquidity, says source
MUMBAI, June 11 (Reuters) - India's central bank plans to use cash reserve ratio "more often" as a tool to manage liquidity and speed up monetary policy transmission, moving away from the practice of deploying it only in times of extreme cash swings, a source told Reuters on Wednesday. The person aware of the Reserve Bank of India's thinking declined to be identified because they are not authorised to speak to the media. The RBI did not reply to an email seeking comment. In a surprise move on Friday, the Reserve Bank of India announced a 100-basis-points reduction in the CRR to 3%, to be implemented in four equal tranches between September and November, releasing 2.5 trillion rupees ($29.25 billion) into the banking system. ($1 = 85.4790 Indian rupees)

ChicKing is heralded as the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant - and is now hoping to open a drive thru branch in Springkerse. A new takeaway drive thru could be heading to Stirling. Foodfixx (Stirling) Ltd holds the franchise to operate the new food restaurant brand - ChicKing. ChicKing is the first fully Halal international quick service restaurant (QSR) brand. Planning permission for the drive thru buildings, on land next to and east of 15 Borrowmeadow Road at Springkerse, was granted in December 2024.

In documents submitted with the application, agents said: 'There are over 230 ChicKing outlets in over 30 countries globally. 'Since securing the master franchise for ChicKing in July 2024, Foodfixx Ltd has demonstrated remarkable commercial growth. It has expanded from 9 to 17 locations across England and Ireland and is moving into Scotland with this store in Stirling. 'Each new store opening creates eight-plus new jobs. The ChicKing website boasts: 'Passionately conceptualised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the first Chicking® outlet was established in the year 2000, and since then, our brand has grown to become extremely popular in 35+ countries with more than 300+ outlets. 'This impressive growth was achieved by understanding what families prefer. We are also a big favorite amongst individuals who are looking for a tasty alternative to formulaic fast food.
