Shares of four Adani group companies are in focus on Wednesday morning following upward revision in their circuit limits by stock exchanges. In the case of Adani Power, the circuit limit has been revised to 20 per cent from 5 per cent earlier. For Adani Green Energy, Adani Wilmar and Adani Transmission, the circuit limit has been changed to 10 per cent from 5 per cent earlier. The move came a week after NSE and BSE removed the securities of Adani Enterprises from the short-term ASM framework. On May 24, both the bourses put Adani Enterprises under the short-term additional surveillance measure (ASM) framework.
