Event Summary

The United States government has agreed to settle a lawsuit against Adani Group, its Chairman Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar Adani. The lawsuit, filed by the United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission in late 2024, accused them of a bribery scheme involving approximately USD 265 million paid to Indian government officials between 2020 and 2024 to secure lucrative solar energy supply contracts in India. These contracts were expected to yield USD 2 billion in profit over 20 years. Additionally, Adani Group was alleged to have raised USD 2 billion in loans and bonds, including from US firms, based on false and misleading statements regarding its anti-bribery practices. The Adani Group has denied all allegations. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Jairam Ramesh have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of signing a 'hopelessly one-sided Indo-US trade deal' to secure Gautam Adani's 'release' from the lawsuit and of halting 'Operation Sindoor' due to threats from former US President Donald Trump.
