Indian shares sank more than 1% on Wednesday, dragged down by Adani group stocks after a short-seller raised fresh concerns about the group's debt in a report that had a ripple effect across the market.

Analysts said that risk aversion due to the Hindenburg report led to the drop in banking stocks.

"The slide in today's equities is due to a combination of factors such as the report on Adani group stocks, monthly expiry of January derivatives series as well as the fading off of the pre-budget rally," said Avinash Gorakshakar, head of research at Profitmart Securities. Indian markets will be shut for a local holiday on Thursday, meaning January series derivatives expiry will be on Wednesday.

"The weakness in the domestic equities will persist on high valuations and weak global cues," added Gorakshakar. He said the markets would be volatile until the union budget on Feb. 1.
