Adani settles alleged Iran sanctions violation case with US Treasury

Adani Group on Monday agreed to pay USD 275 million to settle allegations of violation of US sanctions on Iran, with the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) saying the Indian conglomerate extended "extensive cooperation" with the investigation and made "proactive" disclosures. Adani Enterprises, the group's flagship firm, had bought shipments of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from a Dubai-based trader purporting to supply Omani and Iraqi gas that had actually originated from Iran. The settlement does not constitute a finding of guilt or wrongdoing and resolves all related liabilities. "AEL agreed to settle its potential civil liability for 32 apparent violations of OFAC's Iran sanctions," OFAC said. From November 2023 to June 2025, AEL purchased shipments of LPG from a Dubai-based trader purporting to supply Omani and Iraqi gas. While the Dubai supplier represented itself as a reputable middleman supplying LPG primarily from Oman, as well as Iraq, in .

Compromised PM didn't sign deal but bargain for Adani's release: Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of signing a trade deal with the US only to secure the "release" of billionaire businessman Gautam Adani. "Compromised PM did not strike a trade deal, but a bargain for Adani's release," Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X, after reports that the US has agreed to settle the lawsuit that accused Adani of hiding alleged bribery. The US government has agreed to settle the lawsuit filed against Adani, who is accused of duping investors by concealing that his company's huge solar energy project in India was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme, according to court filings published Thursday. Reacting to the reports, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said it was now clear why the PM agreed to the "hopelessly one-sided Indo-US trade deal that was really a steal by the US". "And it is also clear why he abruptly halted Operation Sindoor on May 10, 2025, acting on President ..

Sagar Adani calls for building domestic energy infra to boost resilience

Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Group entity Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), on Wednesday called for building robust domestic infrastructure to ensure energy security in a bid to withstand global shocks and disruptions, especially wars and conflicts. Addressing a session at Resilient Futures Summit organised by Economist Enterprise, the industrialist advocated for energy security and noted that countries should shift their priorities from how fast they can grow to how well they can withstand disruptions. "We've all seen how conflict in one region can disrupt supply chains across continents. We've all seen how shocks in energy markets can ripple through economies overnight," he said, noting that the question for every nation is no longer just how fast can you grow, it is: How well can you withstand disruption." Highlighting that energy is the foundational element, he said water security needs energy for desalination, treatment, and distribution, while food security needs ener

SEC, Adanis seek extension, propose new briefing schedule in US case

The US Securities and Exchange Commission and Indian businessmen Gautam Adani and Sagar Adani have jointly requested a US court for more time to file key submissions in a civil securities case, proposing a revised schedule for motions and responses. In a filing before the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the parties said they had conferred in line with the court's April 7 directive and agreed on a new timeline, which has been submitted for approval to Judge Nicholas G Garaufis. The SEC had sued Adani Group founder Gautam Adani and his nephew, Sagar, in November 2024, alleging they had misled investors by failing to disclose an alleged bribery scheme tied to Indian state officials, framing the case under US securities laws. Denying all allegations, the two, through their lawyers, on April 7, filed a pre-motion letter ahead of a planned April 30 motion, seeking dismissal of a fraud lawsuit, arguing the case represents an impermissible extraterritorial applicatio

Norway's sovereign wealth fund drops Adani Green Energy from its portfolio

Norway's USD 1.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, has decided to exclude Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) from its portfolio due to concern about its alleged links to financial crime. Norges Bank, which had in May 2024 excluded Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, on its website added AGEL to the list of companies that it has decided to exclude from its portfolio. It cited "gross corruption or other serious financial crime" as the criterion for its decision but gave no explanation. When Norges Bank first bought AGEL shares in July 2020, the share price was Rs 341. Today it is Rs 944. While AGEL did not immediately offer any comments, industry officials said a fossil fuel funded sovereign fund is trying to create a narrative against a renewable company. Norges Bank Investment Management, the entity managing the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, had previously excluded Indian blue chip firms like Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Coal India, Bharat ...
