Recent media reports have alleged that certain foreign investors in Adani companies are ultimately linked back to the Adani family. The inference is that there have been breaches of a rule stipulating that publicly-listed companies must have at least 25% of their shares held by people or parties independent of the promoters of the company concerned (in this case, the Adani family).

Here, veteran Indian journalist, Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, interviews a prominent opposition member of Parliament, Jawhar Sircar (of the All India Trinamool Congress), about these allegations.

The interview also reflects on the role of India’s stock-market regulator, SEBI, and its relationship with the Indian government. Mr Sircar describes the Indian situation as having a ‘Russian-type oligarchical cosiness’ in a ‘republic of fear’.
