Gautam Adani’s beleaguered empire is spiraling into crisis, as the fallout from a short-seller’s fraud allegations leads to a worsening meltdown in the indebted conglomerate’s securities.

Banks either want more collateral for loans, or are scrutinizing the value of the company’s debt to lend against.
