Rajiv Jain, who made headlines last year by investing heavily in Adani Group shares during adverse times, has become a well-known name in the Indian market. GQG Partners and Rajiv Jain often remain in the news. Recently, he was discussing the possibility of buying shares in the mining company Vedanta. However, now Rajiv Jain himself has denied any such deal.
Rajiv Jain clarified that his company has no role in the recent block deal regarding Vedanta shares. He also expressed happiness that people have started taking the name of his firm, i.e. GQG Partners, in every block deal happening in India. Jain was talking to an Indian news channel on Wednesday. During that time, he said these things.
Necessary Support Was Given To Adani
Investment firm GQG Partners came into the limelight around this time last year. In fact, after the Hindenburg report in January last year, Adani Group faced all-around selling. When everyone was selling Adani’s shares, GQG Partners had invested about Rs 15 thousand crores in the shares of Adani Group. GQG Partners’ investment was very helpful in restoring investors’ confidence in the Adani Group.
Block Deal Of Vedanta Shares
He talked about Vedanta, the mining and metal giant recently selling shares through a block deal. 9.4 crore shares of Vedanta have been sold in the block deal, equaling about 2.6 per cent of Vedanta’s total equity. Vedanta has received more than Rs 2,600 crore from this block deal. After the block deal, it was said that GQG Partners had also taken shares of Vedanta. However, now he has denied it.
Such News Were Coming
Before the block deal, an ET Now report had also claimed that talks were going on between Vedanta and GQG Partners regarding the block deal. It was said in the report that GQG Partners can invest $ 1 billion in the mining company, and the deal can be done through a block deal on the stock market.
Vedanta Is Stuck In Debt Crisis
