This may include previously undisclosed material related-party loans, cash leakage, or misreporting.<\/p><p>&#8220;Conversely, to revise the outlook to stable, we will need to be convinced that governance practices in the group and funding access will improve in line with an investment-grade credit profile,&#8221; it said.<\/p><p>On next steps and watchpoints, it said, &#8220;The key will be additional information regarding Adani Group&#8217;s governance and funding.&#8221; Key watchpoints include a report of a Supreme Court-appointed independent panel of experts (comprising industry luminaries), which is investigating potential regulatory shortcomings in the oversight and disclosures of Adani Group.<\/p><p>The court has also directed capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) to submit its findings to the panel in two months.<\/p><p>&#8220;If the investigation proves illegal activities by the group or points to serious wrongdoing, we could revise our assessment of management and governance down to weak from fair.
