India RBI Is Said to Ask Lenders for Details of Adani Exposure

Reserve Bank of India asked lenders for details of their exposure to the Adani group, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

(Bloomberg) — Reserve Bank of India asked lenders for details of their exposure to the Adani group, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

This is standard operating procedure in case of unusual newsflow on a company as the normal information-gathering process for the RBI’s large exposure framework involves a time lag, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details are private. Reuters reported the development earlier.
