IHC to make an exit

New Delhi: Abu Dhabi’s International Holding Company, one of the first high-profile investors in billionaire Gautam Adani’s conglomerate, has decided to sell its stake in two Adani companies.

In a disclosure, IHC said it has “entered into a definitive agreement with a buyer to dispose of its FDI investment in Adani Green Energy Ltd and Adani Transmission Ltd”.

It, however, did not name the buyer.

IHC had in April 2022 invested about $500 million each in Adani Green Energy and power company Adani Transmission, and a further $1 billion in Adani Enterprises.

At that time, IHC’s CEO Syed Basar Shueb said Adani was a “long-term investment in India”.

IHC said the Adani disposals were part of its “overall portfolio rebalancing strategy”, and that it was completing regulatory paperwork to complete the transaction.

It made no reference to its stake in Adani Enterprises.

UK auditor

Adani group has switched the auditor of its main UK subsidiaries to smaller London-based firm Ferguson Maidment & Co after previous auditor Crowe UK resigned in March, Reuters quoting FT said.

Ferguson Maidment audited Adani Energy Holdings and its subsidiaries filed with British government agency Companies House last month.
