The magistrate court in Mansa, Gandhinagar, has convicted journalist Ravi Nair in a criminal defamation case and sentenced him to a year's imprisonment and imposed a fine. The case followed a complaint filed by Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL), the Adani Group's flagship company, alleging that Ravi Nair published and disseminated a series of tweets containing false and defamatory statements intended to damage the reputation of AEL and the Adani Group. AEL argued that the impugned tweets did not amount to fair comment or legitimate criticism but were designed to undermine the credibility of the company in the eyes of the public and investors. After a full-fledged trial, the court held that AEL had successfully established its case and found Ravi Nair guilty of criminal defamation. The court convicted Ravi Nair and sentenced him to one year's imprisonment and imposed a fine. Nair could not be immediately reached for comments.

Adani Group has completed as many as 33 acquisitions worth about Rs 80,000 crore (USD 9.6 billion) across its businesses since January 2023, signalling sustained access to capital and steady execution following the short-seller allegations that jolted markets nearly three years ago. The buying spree has been concentrated in the conglomerate's core sectors, according to market data and company sources. Ports led with acquisitions of around Rs 28,145 crore, followed by cement at Rs 24,710 crore and power at Rs 12,251 crore. Newer, incubating businesses accounted for Rs 3,927 crore, while transmission and distribution added Rs 2,544 crore of deals, they said.
