Controversies

Violation of environmental norms

A committee chaired by Sunita Narain of the Centre for Science and Environment, was set up by the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests to inspect the ship-breaking facility of APSEZ near Mundra West Port in Gujarat's Kutch district. [70] [71] The committee, which submitted its report on 18 April 2013, found incontrovertible evidence of destruction, blocking of creeks, and non-compliance of other clearance conditions.

Myanmar activities

On 30 March 2021, the group of activists Justice for Myanmar released a press statement regarding the international activities of Adani Ports & SEZ. [72] They accused Adani of building a container port in Yangon, Myanmar on land leased from the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), a military-run business conglomerate, which was directly contributing financially to the Myanmar Junta after the 2021 coup.

[72] On 7 March 2022, the Government Pension Fund of Norway placed the company under observation due to "unacceptable risk that the company contributes to or is responsible for serious violations of individuals’ rights in situations of war or conflict". [74] [75] In October 2021, APSEZ announced that they would be "exiting the company's investment in Myanmar" after a risk management committee's review. [76]

CWC land grabbing

Allegations of stock manipulation

In January 2023, Hindenburg Research published the findings of a two-year investigation claiming that Adani had engaged in market manipulation and accounting malpractices. [80] [81] [82] [83] Hindenburg also disclosed that it was holding short positions on Adani Group companies. [80] [81] [82] [83] Bonds and shares of companies associated with Adani experienced a decline in value after the accusations. [84] [85] Adani denied the fraud allegations as 'unfounded and ill intentioned'. [86]

Auditor's concerns

In May 2023, the company's auditor, Deloitte, issued a qualified opinion on the company's financial reports, as it could not verify whether certain transactions were with unrelated or related parties. [87] In August 2023, Deloitte resigned as the company's auditor citing its inability to scrutinize the company's transactions with other group companies of which it was not a statutory auditor. [88] [89]

Located in Vizhinjam in the capital city Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the port is designed to be a multi-purpose, all-weather, green port located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. It is poised to become India's first automated port and holds a unique position as the only Indian port directly adjacent to an international shipping lane. The port's location offers a significant advantage: it lies just 10 nautical miles (19 km) from the heavily trafficked east-west shipping channel connecting Europe, the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. The port has a natural depth of 24 meters, which reduces the need for dredging, and possesses the capability to host many of the world's massive cargo ships, including those exceeding 24,000 TEU, such as vessels of the ULCS container ships like the MSC Irina. The cruise berth under construction along the breakwater will be able to handle large cruise ships such as the Icon of the seas. The Seaport's location offers an advantage as it is situated near an international shipping channel, facilitating connections to global trade routes. When fully commissioned, it is expected that the seaport may have the capacity to cater to 50 percent of the container transhipment needs of India that currently take place at Dubai, Colombo and Singapore. The first phase of the project amounts to ₹8,867 crore, and the remaining phases cost ₹20,000 crore making the total cost ₹28,867 crore.
