India's Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has started hearing representations to recover gains from trades it suspects benefited from prior knowledge of Hindenburg Research's report about the Adani Group. [^1]

In 2024, SEBI said U.S.-based Kingdon Capital Management built short positions in Adani-related stocks through a Mauritius-based fund linked to Kotak International before Hindenburg published its report. [^2]

Short seller Hindenburg Research stated in its 2023 report that the Adani Group had violated securities law, triggering a selloff that wiped out $150 billion in group value. [^3]

The hearings began more than two years after the initial report was filed by Hindenburg Research. [^4]

The proceedings were delayed because the parties involved took time to respond to the regulator. [^5]

Reuters reported on the commencement of these hearings on September 4, 2026. [^6]
