The conglomerate's dollar bonds slipped further into losses on Thursday, a day after its flagship Adani Enterprises called off a USD 2.5-billion share sale in a shock move, the report said.
Adani Green's bonds maturing in September 2024 led the losses, falling 11.69 cents, to 60.56 cents, their lowest since issuance, according to Reuters.
