Rating agency Fitch said two Adani Group subsidiaries are exposed to "heightened contagion risks", possibly affecting their financial flexibility, due to governance weakness at the parent conglomerate and other Adani group companies.

Fitch said that Adani Transmission Ltd and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone are prone to risks, according to a note released late on Tuesday (28).

Fitch early last month said it had seen no immediate impact on its ratings of Adani Group entities and their securities following short-seller Hindenburg Research's January 24 report on the conglomerate.

Seven listed firms of the Adani Group have shed over $120 billion (£97.45 bn) in market value since the report that alleged improper use of tax havens and stock manipulation by the ports-to-energy conglomerate - charges it has denied.

Fitch still said "cash flow generation from January 2023 to March 2024 will boost the liquidity of the rated groups."

8 hidden ways economic crises push more unpaid work onto women

  • Women lose jobs and take on more unpaid care as debt rises
  • Over 38 million women’s jobs could be lost in the long term
  • Women’s income drops by 17 per cent while unpaid work increases

Women are bearing the brunt of rising debt and global economic instability, according to new research from the United Nations Development Programme. The study, which analysed data from 85 countries over three decades, finds that when governments increase spending on debt repayments, women are more likely to lose jobs and take on additional unpaid care work at home.

The report estimates that rising debt burdens have already led to the loss of 22 million women’s jobs in the short term and more than 38 million over time. In countries facing higher debt pressure, women’s income per capita falls by around 17 per cent, while men’s income remains largely unchanged. As Alexander De Croo reportedly said, cuts to social spending disproportionately affect women because they rely on and work within those sectors.
