Amid ongoing corruption allegations, the Adani Group is under increasing global scrutiny regarding its energy projects, with investigations ongoing in various countries. In Bangladesh, a review committee established by the interim government has recommended a full investigation into some significant power agreements made during the tenure of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The National Review Committee on the Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources in Bangladesh has proposed the engagement of a reputable legal and investigative agency to assess the major power production agreements made during Sheikh Hasina’s autocratic rule from 2009 to 2024.

One of the agreements that is under scrutiny includes the $2 billion Godda thermal power plant deal which is a part of a broader network of energy projects. The committee has collected evidence directing that many of these contracts may need to be revisited or annulled due to legal and procedural discrepancies. To assist the review,  the committee has suggested the appointment of international legal and investigative agencies as well.

In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the group for bribery related to solar contracts in India, leading to a downgrade of its companies' credit outlook.

In Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, Adani's energy projects are also under review. In Sri Lanka, its $500 million wind power projects in Mannar and Pooneryn have raised concerns due to a lack of competitive bidding and inflated pricing. 

The revised tariff for these projects is higher than initially recommended, sparking fears about their financial impact on Sri Lanka's ongoing economic crisis. The Sri Lankan cabinet is now reviewing the projects' financial and environmental viability, with activists calling for more transparency. In Kenya, the Adani Group's energy contracts have recently been cancelled, adding to the international criticism of its practices in emerging markets.
