The people said the group presented both plans to bondholders in Hong Kong on Tuesday. The three-day roadshow is designed to complete on Wednesday.

Adani has refused the allegations and denied wrongdoing.
Shares of flagship Adani Enterprises increased 7.8% while trading, whereas Adani Green Energy, was up 3.75%.
