Not just investors, auditors are also wary of the firm's future. The firm's auditors said they were unable to give an audit opinion on the annual results.
"We were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these standalone/consolidated annual financial results," auditors BSR & Co and Pathak HD & Associates said.
Last week, the auditor of Reliance Capital and Reliance Home Finance, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, had quit saying the company has restrained it from performing its duties as a statutory auditor.
Other ADAG group companies, including Reliance Capital (RCap), Reliance Power (RPower) and Reliance Communications (RCom) were also under selling stress.
