Gautam Adani-led Adani Group stocks extended their rebound on Wednesday after the conglomerate took some crucial steps to restore investor confidence amid the recent selloff triggered by Hindenburg Research report. The stock price of group companies witnessed trend reversal after the promoters of listed entities announced prepaying $1.114 billion of loans to release some pledged shares, which eased investor and rating agencies' concerns over leverage.

Adani Enterprises, the flagship company of the Adani group, has emerged as the biggest gainer among the 10-listed entities, with the share price more than doubling from its 52-week low of ₹1,017, touched on February 3, to ₹2,065 in intraday today. The conglomerate has regained ₹54,075 crore in market cap during the said period, from ₹1.81 lakh crore on February 3 to ₹2.34 lakh crore in intraday today.
