After US prosecutors charged Adani Group chairman Gautam S Adani and seven others with allegedly bribing Indian government officials, Bangladesh has decided to hire a legal and investigative firm to help review key power generation contracts, including the one with Adani Power. This review could lead to changes or even cancellations of some contracts, officials told The Indian Express on Sunday. In a statement, the Bangladesh government said that the National Review Committee, which is part of the Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources, has asked the interim government to hire the firm to assist with the review of important power contracts made during Sheikh Hasina’s leadership from 2009 to 2024.
The committee is currently investigating several contracts, including the Adani (Godda) coal-fired power plant (1234.4 MW), as well as other plants in Payra (1320 MW coal), Bashkhali (612 MW coal), Ashuganj (195 MW gas), Meghnaghat (583 MW dual fuel), Meghnaghat (335 MW dual fuel), and Meghnaghat (584 MW gas/RLNG).
