Adani Group stocks decline; Adani Ports fall over 2 pc
In a stock exchange filing, the group said reports of links between any of its entities and Iranian LPG are 'baseless and mischievous'. Adani Group on Monday said it does not handle any cargo coming from Iran or any Iranian-owned ship at any of its ports, as it denied any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion. New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) Adani Group stocks ended lower on Tuesday, with Adani Ports, NDTV and Adani Energy falling over 2 per cent each. The filing was in response to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that said US prosecutors were investigating if Adani group companies imported Iranian LPG into India through their Mundra port in Gujarat. Shares of Adani Ports dropped 2.42 per cent, NDTV fell by 2.25 per cent, Adani Energy Solutions declined 2.18 per cent, Adani Power skidded 2.02 per cent and Adani Enterprises went lower by 1.89 per cent on the BSE. The stocks of Adani Total Gas edged lower by 1.62 per cent, Adani Green slipped 1.58 per cent, Sanghi Industries Ltd (1.16 per cent), Ambuja Cements (0.88 per cent), ACC (0.22 per cent) and AWL Agri Business (0.06 per cent). In intra-day trade, NDTV tanked 4.92 per cent, Sanghi Industries dropped 3.44 per cent, Adani Ports fell by 2.77 per cent, Adani Power lost 2.69 per cent, Adani Enterprises went lower by 2.63 per cent, Adani Energy (2.35 per cent), Adani Total (2.10 per cent), Adani Green (2 per cent), Ambuja Cements (1.21 per cent), AWL Agri (1.14 per cent) and ACC (0.62 per cent). In the equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex tanked 636.24 points or 0.78 per cent to settle at 80,737.51. The NSE Nifty plunged 174.10 points or 0.70 per cent to 24,542.50. 'By policy, the Adani Group does not handle any cargo from Iran at any of our ports. This includes any shipments originating from Iran or any vessels operating under the Iranian flag,' the conglomerate said in the filing. It went on to state that the group 'does not manage or facilitate any ships whose owners are Iranian. This policy is strictly adhered to across all our ports'. The WSJ report claimed that its investigation had found tankers travelling between Mundra and the Persian Gulf exhibited traits experts say are common for ships evading sanctions. Purchase of Iranian oil or products is sanctioned over Tehran's suspected nuclear programme. Calling the report 'baseless and mischievous', the Adani group said it 'categorically denies any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion or trade involving Iranian-origin LPG'. It went on to add that it was 'not aware of any investigation by US authorities on this subject'. The report, it said, 'appears to be based entirely on incorrect assumptions and speculation'.

Markets extend losses for 3rd session amid broad-based selloff; Sensex slips below 81k
In a volatile trading session, the 30-share BSE index tanked 636.24 points or 0.78 per cent to settle at 80,737.51. During the day, it dropped 798.66 points or 0.98 per cent to 80,575.09. Domestic markets stayed on the back foot for the third straight session as investors offloaded energy, finance and IT stocks, traders said. Mumbai, Jun 3 (PTI) Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty tumbled nearly 1 per cent on Tuesday, weighed down by a widespread selloff amid foreign fund outflows and growing geopolitical uncertainties. The NSE Nifty plunged 174.10 points or 0.70 per cent to 24,542.50. As many as 2,266 stocks declined, while 1,731 advanced and 147 remained unchanged on the BSE. 'The domestic market remained in negative terrain amid mixed global cues, geopolitical issues and a volatile currency market led by a weak USD. Profit-booking is evident across sectors, except for real estate stocks, supported by expectations of an interest rate cut by the RBI. 'Mid and small-cap stocks are experiencing relatively less consolidation than large caps due to better earnings growth & moderation in premium valuation. While short-term consolidation is likely to persist, strong domestic-oriented players are estimated to provide outperformance against external volatility,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. From the Sensex firms, Adani Ports declined 2.42 per cent. Bajaj Finserv, Bajaj Finance, Power Grid, Eternal, IndusInd Bank, Maruti, Tata Consultancy Services and UltraTech Cement were among the biggest laggards. Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the only gainer in the pack. Adani Group's 11 listed companies ended lower. Adani Group on Monday said it does not handle any cargo coming from Iran or any Iranian-owned ship at any of its ports, as it denied any deliberate engagement in sanctions evasion. In a stock exchange filing, the group said reports of links between any of its entities and Iranian LPG are 'baseless and mischievous'. The BSE midcap gauge declined 0.52 per cent, while the smallcap index dipped 0.07 per cent. Among sectoral indices, power dropped 1.50 per cent, utilities (1.42 per cent), bankex (0.89 per cent), energy (0.88 per cent), capital goods (0.87 per cent), financial services (0.80 per cent) and teck (0.68 per cent). On the other hand, commodities and realty were the gainers. 'The Nifty has extended its consolidation phase for yet another day, showing no urgency in establishing a clear directional trend. It appears that investors are awaiting a decisive commentary following the RBI's interest rate decision,' Rupak De, Senior Technical Analyst at LKP Securities, said. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,589.47 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. 'The ongoing foreign fund outflows, coupled with weak global cues such as geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over trade deals, are adding pressure to the markets,' Ajit Mishra – SVP, Research, Religare Broking Ltd, said. In Asian markets, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng settled in positive territory, while Japan's Nikkei 225 index ended lower. South Korean markets were closed. European markets were trading lower. US markets ended higher on Monday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude climbed 0.28 per cent to USD 64.81 a barrel.
