Bengladesh 'Adani power deal can be cancelled if corruption is Proven'

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.

The adviser was reacting to an interim report submitted by a National Review Committee, which was formed to review the power sector contracts by the Hasina regime.
