US indicts Adani in solar power probe

Indictment says officials bribed to win solar power contracts
The Adani Group denied bribery charges and vowed to explore legal options after a damaging indictment in the US, but the move failed to stop a run in its shares, posing the biggest test yet for the conglomerate which had rebuilt investor faith after the Hindenburg episode.
Concluding more than two years of investigation, the US department of justice accused group founder Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani, and six executives of Canadian pension fund CDPQ and its investee company Azure Power, of bribing Indian officials to the tune of ₹2,029 crore to secure favourable green power supply agreements.
The US authorities also accused the Adanis of securities fraud for allegedly lying about the group's anti-bribery practices, and concealing investigations while raising funds in the US and elsewhere.
Prosecutors alleged that between 2020 and 2024, these individuals bribed unnamed Indian officials to secure solar energy supply contracts. Separately, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused the Adani Group of misconduct stemming from what it described as a "massive bribery scheme."

Businesses mustn't wait for a global climate consensus
This year’s United Nations climate summit in Belém, Brazil, ended last week. Countries made promises on paper and avoided hard decisions. Having gathered nearly 200 nations to chart out climate action, CoP-30 produced a ‘Belém Political Package’ that deferred questions rather than answer them. We should not pretend that this is progress.
