Norway's sovereign wealth fund has sold its stakes in three Adani Group companies worth more than $200 million since the start of the year, the world's largest stock investor said on Thursday. As of the end of 2022, the $1.35 trillion fund holds stakes in Adani Total Gas, Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone and Adani Green Energy. Christopher Wright, the fund's head of ESG risk monitoring, said the fund had been monitoring Adani's handling of environmental risks for several years. Adani's seven major India-listed shares have plunged by about $110 billion after U.S. short-seller Hindenburg Research published a scathing report on Jan. 24 accusing the group of improperly using offshore tax havens and manipulating shares. Adani Group denies any wrongdoing. Managed by a unit of the central bank, the fund owns 1.3% of all listed stocks globally, with stakes in about 9,200 companies.
