NBIM characterized the Adani sales as financially motivated environmental risk-based divestments—not public ethical exclusions recommended by the Council on Ethics.
NBIM reports 575 risk-based divestment decisions since 2012 and 16 reversals in 2024. The figures show that exits can occur—and later be reversed—without contemporaneous announcement. They do not establish that any reversal involved Adani.
“Risk-based divestments … are not made public, in line with the fund’s investment decisions.”
