What is the Relationship Between Chang Chung-Ling and Adani?

The name Chang Chung-Ling is mentioned at least four times in the 413-page-long short-seller report, but Adani Group has not addressed it in their response.

The US research firm Hindenburg Research has sourced its findings from Taiwanese media, and claims that Chang Chung-Ling's son owns a major contractor to the Adani Group called PMC Projects.

1. Gudami International

Gudami International is a Singapore registered company that has been named in an Indian probe into bribery in the AgustaWestland helicopter scam. The firm is also associated with a Mauritius entity called Growmore Trade and Investment.

The Hindenburg Research report says that Chang Chung-Ling served as a director of Electrogen Infra Holding Pte Ltd, an Adani private company that was involved in a complex scheme to siphon funds from the company’s publicly listed entities. In addition, the report cites corporate records that show that Chung-Ling shared the same residential address as Vinod Adani in Singapore.

The report further cites a 2014 Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) report that mentions Gudami International. The report adds that Gudami International was part of a massive corruption scheme in the AgustaWestland Scandal, one of India’s largest and ongoing bribery scandals. It also points out that the son of Chang Chung-Ling is the beneficial owner of a major contractor to the Adani Group called PMC Projects, which the company paid $63 billion over the past 12 years.

2. Gudami International Pte Ltd

The first company examined in this report, Gudami International Pte Ltd, was a Singapore-based firm identified as part of a government fraud investigation into the Adani Group’s alleged circular trading of gems. The company was struck off the register of companies in March 2020, and has since been put into liquidation.

The report notes that Gudami International was a director and key common shareholder in the Adani private entity Adani Enterprises (earlier known as Adani Exports) based in Singapore. It is also an investor in one of the funds under Monterosa Investment Holdings that collectively own stakes in multiple Adani entities worth $4.5 billion.

Moreover, Chang Chung-Ling is the director of Growmore Trade and Investment, which merged with Adani Power in 2011. He also shares a residential address with Vinod Shantilal Shah aka Vinod Adani, whose brother Gautam Adani is a co-owner of Adani Power.

3. Gudami International Limited

According to Hindenburg Research, Gudami International Limited is associated with a Mauritius company called Growmore Trade and Investment. Its director is Chung-Ling and it shares a residential address with Vinod Shantilal Shah (an alias for Gautam Adani), Adani’s elder brother.

This Gudami International firm is listed as one of the three Singaporean firms alleged to have been part of a multi-million dollar AgustaWestland helicopter bribery scandal in India. It is also an investor in several funds under Monterosa Investment Holdings that collectively own stakes in multiple Adani entities worth $4.5 billion.

These Monterosa-owned companies continue as key shareholders in Adani’s flagship companies – Adani Enterprises and Adani Power. However, there is another reason why we should be concerned about these companies. They are related-party entities of Adani and their investments into Adani’s listed companies were heavily concentrated, a practice that is widely frowned upon by investors.

4. Gudami International Holdings

Gudami International Holdings was a major player in the Adani Group. The company had a 1.27% share in Adani Enterprises (earlier known as Adani Exports) and invested heavily in Monterosa Investment Holdings which owns stakes in several Adani companies worth more than half a billion dollars.

The company was also mentioned in a 2014 Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) report that details a complex scheme by which the Adani Group siphoned off cash from its publicly listed entities. The report also cites corporate records which indicate that Chang Chung-Ling shared the same residential address as Vinod Adani, Gautam Adani’s elder brother.

In addition to being the most expensive ad in the Adani Group’s latest secondary share sale, this one is also the first of five entities that Hindenburg Research identifies as being part of the blxxdy scam. The other four are a bit more difficult to track down. But they are all well-known names in Indian business and investment.
