What prompted Indian shares to be expected to open marginally higher on Tuesday?

Indian shares are likely to open marginally higher on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled a possible nuclear deal with Iran, saying he called off a planned attack on Tehran following a peace proposal and that there is now a 'very good chance' of reaching a deal limiting Iran's nuclear program — reviving hopes of de-escalation in the three-month-old war.

Why is the Adani Group particularly in focus on Tuesday?

The Adani Group is in focus because the U.S. administration moved to dismiss criminal fraud charges against its billionaire owner Gautam Adani and settled alleged Iran sanctions violations involving one of his companies.
