Bangladesh says contract with Adani could be scrapped in case of irregularities or corruption

Bangladesh’s interim government has said that it will not hesitate to cancel an existing power contract with India’s Adani group if any irregularities or corruption are proven.

The 2017 power supply deal between Adani Power and Bangladesh had come in for scrutiny after the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led government last year.

“The contracts (generally) state that no corruption has occurred, but if proven otherwise, cancellation is possible,” Energy Affairs Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan was quoted as saying by local media.
