In February 2023, MSCI halted certain adjustments to Adani Group securities due to concerns about free float status of these stocks. At the time, MSCI said that the “characteristics of certain investors in Adani Group stocks created sufficient uncertainty” to exclude them from being considered as part of the free float. Owing to this, MSCI suspended “potential changes to the number of shares for the affected securities and deferred the implementation of non-neutral corporate events, subject to review.”
