The Finance Minister stated that regulators will carry out their responsibilities regarding the Adani issue and that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has the resources to ensure market stability. Sitharaman remarked that regulators are independent from the government, and “they’re left to themselves to regulate the market appropriately.”

Meanwhile, Finance Secretary TV Somanathan stood by his characterization of the controversy as a “storm in a teacup” on Saturday, clarifying that he was speaking in macroeconomic terms and in the context of the stability of India’s public financial institutions.

The government stated earlier on Friday that the exposure of banks and insurers to the Adani group was within “permitted limits.” “Both SBI and LIC issued comprehensive statements… Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, has publicly stated that they are not overexposed… In addition, he stated that we are sitting on profits for the exposure… In an interview with Network18, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated, “They have stated unequivocally that their exposure is well within permissible limits, and even now, with the valuation falling, they are sitting above profit.”
Sitharaman had stated that the banking industry is currently in a “comfortable” position.

“After overcoming the twin balance sheet issue, the Indian banking sector is currently at a comfortable level. Their NPAs are decreasing to extremely low levels, recoveries are occurring, and their position is very strong, which is reflected in the fact that when they go to raise funds on the market, they are completely at ease,” she added.

Without naming the Adani group, the Reserve Bank of India responded to media reports expressing concern about bank exposures to a “business conglomerate” by asserting that “the banking sector remains resilient and stable” According to the report, banks are also in compliance with the RBI’s Large Exposure Framework regulations.
