September 22, 2026 — Settlement orders issued
No admission or denial — Basis on which the proceedings were settled
The companies covered by the settlement include Adani Enterprises, Adani Total Gas, Adani Green Energy, Adani Energy Solutions and AWL Agri Business, formerly known as Adani Wilmar. (The Economic Times)
According to the settlement details, Adani Enterprises paid ₹76.05 lakh, while Adani Green Energy paid ₹45.50 lakh. Adani Total Gas, AWL Agri Business and Adani Energy Solutions each paid ₹9.75 lakh. (The Financial Express)
The proceedings involved alleged lapses concerning disclosures and audit-report compliance. Reuters reported that SEBI found Adani Enterprises had failed to disclose a related-party transaction in its financial report for the year ended March 2013, while issues involving other companies concerned audit or review reports signed by auditors without valid peer-review certification.

SETTLEMENT BREAKDOWN
Adani Enterprises — ₹76.05 lakh
Adani Green Energy — ₹45.50 lakh
Adani Total Gas — ₹9.75 lakh
AWL Agri Business — ₹9.75 lakh
Adani Energy Solutions — ₹9.75 lakh (The Financial Express)
The matters were among cases examined by SEBI following allegations raised by Hindenburg Research in January 2023 concerning the Adani Group. The conglomerate had denied Hindenburg's allegations. (Reuters)
The latest settlements should not be interpreted as a finding that all regulatory matters involving the group have been resolved. Reuters reported that broader SEBI investigations, including matters involving alleged shareholding-rule violations and price manipulation, remain ongoing, while some other cases have already been closed. (Reuters)
The September 22 orders therefore close the specific adjudication proceedings covered by these settlements, while other regulatory matters concerning the group remain separate.
