New Delhi: Adani Gas stocks tanked up to 14 per cent to Rs 148 on the BSE in Friday’s session following reports that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board of India (PNGRB) has sent a notice to the company for not disclosing crucial information regarding a scheme of arrangement with Adani Enterprises.
According to media reports, Adani Gas has bid for gas projects using networth calculations of the Gautam Adani-led Adani Enterprises and that the company’s shareholding changes and restructuring violated the city gas distribution regulations.
