Adani Green Energy, the renewable energy division of the Adani Group, plans to raise ₹12,300 crore by selling shares to qualified institutional investors.

What Happened? After a board meeting on July 6, Adani Green Energy made a statement announcing a move that is expected to lessen worries over the group’s ability to pay off its debts and reinforce investor confidence.
