The National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE on Monday announced that they will move Adani Enterprises out of the short-term additional surveillance measure (ASM) framework from March 8.
Last month, both the bourses had put three Adani Group companies, including the flagship firm Adani Enterprises, under the short-term additional surveillance measure framework.
After taking a beating on the bourses following the report by US-based short seller Hindenburg Research, the group stocks have recovered significantly in the last few trading sessions.
The report had made a litany of allegations, including fraudulent transactions and share-price manipulation, against it.
The group has dismissed the charges as lies, saying it complies with all laws and disclosure requirements.
