Agency News: Kolkata Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today gave an exoneration of sorts to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of businessmen under the radar of investigative agencies fleeting the country.

SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR ‘Deeply Over-Leveraged’ Adani Firms Pose Risk To Creditors The skyrocketing wealth of Ahmedabad-based business tycoon Gautam Adani in the lastthree years may be exciting news for shareholders of Adani group companies, but the samecan’t be said about lenders to those enterprises as the liabilities don’t match with their realassets. According to the latest Forbes real-time billionaires list, Gautam Adani’s net worth is$148 billion, making him the world’s third richest man after Tesla chief executive Elon Musk($253 billion) and French business magnate Bernard Arnault ($154.9 billion). Adani enteredthe global ‘Centibillionaires Club’ — businessmen having a fortune of $100 billion or more —in April, this year.The gritty Gujarati entrepreneur is well ahead of Reliance Industries chairman MukeshAmbani, also a Gujarati, the world’s eighth richest and India’s second, whose net worth wasstated to be $94 billion. Last year, Gautam Adani added $49 billion to his net worth makinghim the world’s fifth richest person leaving ace investor Warren Buffet behind. Adani’s networth in 2020 was $17 Billion. Earlier this year, Adani’s net worth reached around $123billion. Massive surge in stock prices of his companies made this possible. How real is Adani’s net worth? The answer is debatable. The net worth of an enterprise canbe easily calculated from its balance sheet by using two methods (1) by simply deductingits total liabilities from its total assets, or (2) by adding its share capital — both equity andpreference — to the free reserves and surplus. For calculating individual net worth, the valueof assets is based on their current market value rather than original purchase prices. Adani’smassive personal net worth does not need to keep pace with the balance sheet net worth ofhis group enterprises.Adani Group’s shares have lately seen an exponential surge — 500-5,000 percent spike justin the last three years. That is exceptional by any standard, especially through the Covidpandemic period. Gautam Adani, 60, has reportedly added $60.9 billion to his fortune in2022 alone, five times more than anyone else. The unusual share price surge has catapultedAdani Group to become India’s most valued business outfit, last week, displacing the over-a-century old House of Tatas.A recent research report by Fitch rating’s CreditSight says Adani Group is “deeply over-leveraged.” In other words, Adani Groups debt is unsustainably high against its equity. Thegroup;s total debt of Rs.2.2 lakh crores as of March 31 2022 is a result of its aggressiveexpansion which is majorly funded by debt putting enormous pressure on the credit metricsand cash flows of the company. The group seems to be venturing into new and unrelatedbusinesses which are highly capital intensive. Some of these ventures may take a few yearsto generate noticeable profit. In the worst-case scenario, large borrowings made to set upand run these projects can spiral the group into a debt trap and possibly a default. That willdrastically cut Gautam Adani’s personal net worth. Fitch Ratings’ subsidiary CreditSights remains “cautiously watchful” of Adani Group’s growing appetite for largely debtfundedexpansion.”The Adani group is increasingly venturing into new and/or unrelated businesses, which arehighly capital intensive and raises concerns regarding spreading execution oversight toothin, CreditSights warned. The group has been investing aggressively across both existingand new businesses, predominantly funded with debt, resulting in elevated leverage andsolvency ratios. "This has understandably caused concerns about the group as a whole, andwhat implications it could have on the group companies that are bond issuers. In the worst-case scenario, overly ambitious debtfunded growth plans could eventually spiral into amassive debt trap, and possibly culminate into a distressed situation or default of one ormore group companies," warned Creditsights.Lately, the group acquired Swiss giant Holcim’s controlling stake in Ambuja Cement andACC for $10.5 billion to become India's second largest cement producer overnight. TheAdanis had far outbid KM Birla-led Ultratech and JSW Group to jumpstart in the cementsector with 70 million tonnes of production capacity annually. JSW Group chairman SajjanJindal had offered $7 billion to Holcim for its Ambuja stake which includes $4.5 billion of hisown money and $2.5 bill ion investment - Kapilkumar M.

Agency News:New Delhi Keeping the limelight away from Virat Kohli is a tough job. After a successful Asia Cup Kohli ended up as the second highest-run scorer (276) of the
tournament with a much better strike rate and average than the top spot holder Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan - the questions about Kohli’s form (or the lack of it) have now quickly been replaced with how
to put lid on his scoring. Similar questions on Kohli were asked to Australia stalwarts Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch ahead of their three-match T20I series against India starting Tuesday in Mohali. While both the senior Australian cricketers were on the same page about Kohli’s class, it was Finch who gave an eloquent answer. The Australia T20I captain termed Kohli as ‘one of the greatest players of all time’ and said the opposition teams have to be really ‘brave’ to count someone of Kohl’s calibre out. “You’d be a very very brave man to write off Virat at any stage. He has shown for 15 years now, that he is one of the greatest players of all time. Particularly in T20 cricket, he is someone.

With three digital shows that have streamed so far and three shows ready to stream, this year has been “one of the best years” of actor Gauahar Khan’s life, she claims. Also, not to forget that this was also the first year of her marriage. “It’s been a fantastic year. After Bigg Boss this is my best work year. I have done such a variety of roles and being the highlight of most of them,” Khan states.Ask her if she has anything to tick off her bucket list in the upcoming year and she quickly quips, “I have ticked off a lot from my bucket list, after pretty much working with all the OTT platforms. But I want to keep working.” It is not just work, that is on Khan’s mind. The actor reveals that she intends to extend her family. She adds, “I definitely look forward to being a mother. I really hope that happens soon. I never plan (things, so) when it’s about to happen it will happen. It’s not something Zaid (Darbar, dancerhusband) and I have planned for ki ek saal baad, do saal baad…We have never actually had this conversation.”The actor is extremely grateful to directors who have thought of her in varied characters, however, she divulges that she isn’t one of those who would approach filmmakers for work. “I mean I would have loved to if I had that kind of position in life. When I started, I started as an outsider, and I used to feel shy, and wonder if it was the correct thing to approach people (for work). I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with that. I have people from the extended family who are in the industry but I have never spoken to them or picked up a call and said I really want to do the project. I have never really picked up a call on somebody and said I want to be a part of this project. Not because I didn’t want to, but I have just not known how to. It’s just something very new to me. I just wait for the right opportunity to come my way,” she ends.
Agency News:Mumbai Actor Ranbir Kapoor lauded his wife, actress Alia Bhatt, for working during her pregnancy.

Responding to a question on the sexist reporting around Alia’s pregnancy announcement, Ranbir said that Alia, in the history of Indian cinema, is probably one of the most important actors there’s ever been.For those unversed, Alia filmed her Hollywood debut ‘Heart Of Stone’, wrapped ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’, and promoted ‘Brahmastra’ and ‘Darlings’ after announcing her pregnancy. According to Ranbir, Alia’s conduct has been exemplary and haters are just jealous.“I think the way she has carried herself through the entire marketing of this film being pregnant, being in the condition that she is - I think you should only be inspired by that. Any kind of criticism is just jealousy and mischief makers and stupidity .
