Adani Group's stock fell along with the value of LIC's interests in the business. It happened after Hindenburg's damning report accused Adani of many crimes.

Yet, due to improving sentiment in the Adani Group, the company's stock has seen a robust recovery recently as LIC's stake. Further, it was built at a cost of over Rs 30,000 crores, and has surged back to over Rs 40,000.

Yet, it is still lower than Rs 81,268 crores, the value of LIC's entire stake in the Adani Group, before Hindenburg's report was published. 

Even though the company's investment is on a path to recovery, it was an eye-opener for the company and all its stakeholders. As such, LIC is planning to limit its exposure to companies, entities, and groups with common promoters. 

Although the news is unverified, a step like this will allow LIC to safeguard itself and its investments from another similar decline.
