Adani Share Price Drops By 8% In 1 Week: What's happening?

Drop In Adani Power Share Stock

In the last 5 Years, the stock has fallen by 8%.

The reason for this sale and drop in share was the Supreme Court's refusal to pass any order over Adani's proposed thermal plant in Uttar Pradesh. A bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi told Sanjay Parikh, who was appearing for the environmentalist, “The State may be power-deficient. We can’t pass orders like this. We need to strike a balance between environmental concerns and development”, The Pioneer reported.
