Dhaka: After the US court took action against Gautam Adani, many countries of the world have started canceling or reviewing the projects related to his company. Recently Kenya had announced the cancellation of a project related to Adani. After this, now Bangladesh has also made a big announcement regarding a project related to Adani. Bangladesh has recommended appointing an agency to investigate power deals signed by ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government with various business groups, including India's Adani Group.
In this regard, the interim government had constituted a review committee, which made this recommendation on Sunday. “The National Review Committee of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has decided to appoint a reputed legal and investigative agency to review the major power generation agreements signed during the autocratic rule of Sheikh Hasina from 2009 to 2024,” an official statement said. The office of Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus issued a statement saying that the committee is currently reviewing seven major energy and power projects.
Projects related to Adani will be investigated
This includes the 1,234.4 MW coal-based plant of Adani (Godda) BIFPCL. Adani (Godda) BIFPCL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Power Limited. Among the six other agreements, one has been signed with a Chinese company, which has built a 1,320 MW coal-based power plant. The remaining agreements have been made with Bangladeshi business groups said to be close to the previous government. (Language)
