On Tuesday, APSEZ stocks gained by over 8 per cent before cooling off to trade with modest gains of 1 per cent on NSE. The investors’ confidence was seen returning to the counter after the findings of the Supreme Court-appointed committee gave a clean chit to the regulatory aspect on the allegations of price manipulations by Adani Group.
