SEBI concluded that allegations of "effective control" by Vinod Adani over specific foreign portfolio investors were not established, clearing him of violating shareholding norms.
The regulator stated that Vinod Adani's role regarding the investment entities was advisory and based on non-binding agreements, which does not constitute legal control.
Gautam Adani and other listed group entities settled the matter by paying a collective penalty of ₹37 lakh each without admitting or denying the allegations.
