Last Updated : May 20 2026 | 12:50 PM IST
The US Department of Justice dropped all criminal charges against Gautam Adani, bringing the high-profile alleged bribery case to an end. Adani Enterprises also settled a case related to Iran sanctions violations involving LPG imports. Adani had been accused of agreeing to pay $265 million in bribes to Indian government officials to secure approvals for developing the country’s largest solar power project. In a filing before the court, the US Department of Justice requested for dismissal of the indictment "with prejudice".
